A mini-album of mini-effort
Review of Twoism - Boards Of Canada by
gantzgraf
Advantages: Moments that define the B.O.C sound.
Disadvantages: Tracks Sixtyniner, Twoism, Seeya Later and Smokes Quantity
...People got confused when Twoism was released the same year as Geogaddi. In fact, Twoism was released back in 1995, not in 2002, and could be considered as their first B.O.C album; a mini-album that is, closer to an Ep really.
Twoism is very much the root from which all other albums would emerge. The thing is though, Twoism is completely uninspired if compared to the 2 major works from B.O.C's duo, M.H.T.R.T.C and Geogaddi.
Twoism features 8 tracks, ... ...a cut-n-paste of tracks like Twoism and Seeya Later.
Twoism is a disappointing album. It does however have it's moments of magic.
B.O.C would improve their music in a drastic manner with Music Has the Right to Children, released 3 years latter.

Neo-tastic
Review of White Rabbits - Neotropic by
xnatallyx
Advantages: The latest offering from one of the most under rated women in music industry
Disadvantages: if i had to be picky a couple of tracks go on slightly too long and would love t hear a bit more of her voice
...future sound of london.
White rabbits is a beautiful 9 track album album, opening with my favourite track New Cross, a song about a relationship which is coming to a end. As her tranquil voice ' your doing my head in, isnt it time we said goodbye' something we can all relate to! the rest of the album follows in much the same way, although the vocals are quite thin on the ground there seems to be some sort of beautiful saddness to the album.
For ...

In Silico... Disappointing
Review of In Silico - Pendulum by
thedunn1
Advantages: Not many
Disadvantages: I'm now £9 poorer
...is the drum n bass in this album? Unless I'm mistaken, one of the tracks on here is guitar based and could be classed as a rock song. Nothing against rock but if I wanted a rock song I'd have bought one. Annoying synthesizer most of the way through, half hearted feeble bass line when there is one at all. Average easy going album, just don't buy this album if you are a hard drum n bass fan. You will be very disappointed. It is a shame that Pendulum ...

A nice assorted mix
Review of Oxygene 7-13 - Jean Michel Jarre by
atytyut2434
Advantages: It's JMJ!
Disadvantages: Sounds a bit too much like other stuff in certain places
...to the same themes.
Oxygene 7 reminds me of something from Bladerunner if I'm honest but is still a great track.
Oxygene 8, One of my personal faves & I never understood why this wasn't released as a single as it had all the right ingredients to be a dance hit & make JMJ a household name. This wouldn't be out of place in any club & would certainly find a willing audience in places lke Ibiza.
Oxygene 9, It has more elements of Pink Floyd & Magnetic ... ...back in about 1980.
Oxygene 11, another one that reminds me too much of Magentic Fields & Equinoxe
Oxygene 12, another track that could have been released as a single & would have easily found an audience in the clubs. Also has elements that remind me Bladerunner (its that background arpeggio!).
Oxygene 13, this is very definately the most Oxygene-esque of all these tracks ( as I recall this was normally one of the last tracks he played at the ...

Destination AWESOME!
Review of Destination Docklands (The London Concert) - Jean Michel Jarre by
atytyut2434
Advantages: As good as being there
Disadvantages: No fireworks.
...night Mike Mansfield shot his Destination Docklands Video.
Track 1 is a short intro version of Revolutions which I don't remember being played on the night itself at all.
Track 2 is Industrial Revolutions Overture which was recorded on the 2nd of the 2 nights (I can tell because theres no 2nd set of cheering near the start when they screwed up getting one of the projections back to front then upside down)
Track 3 is Industrial Revolutions parts ... ...mainly reactions to projections & some fireworks, you are hearing the console master version of the music so you won't hear any of the fireworks in the background as all the mics are aimed the stage. Crowd reactions were louder than the fireworks!
Track 4 is Magnetic Fields part 4, one of JMJ's staples which is very well received.
Track 5 is Oxygene 4 which gets a great reaction to all the fireworks & projections again.
Track 6 is Computer Weekend, ...
