Nouvelle Vague

Advantages: Good Music
Disadvantages: Needs improvement

An interesting album of cover tracks. The band are from France and have recently made it onto the scene in the last few years. Some songs are better than others. I would recommend this album as an easy listening record. It's something you can relax to in the evening. Tracks JOY DIVISION : Love will tear us apart (feat. Eloisia) DEPECHE MODE : Just can't get enough (feat. Eloisia) TUXEDOMOON : In a manner of speaking (feat. Camille) THE CLASH : ...
...not a) love song (feat. Melanie Pain) DEAD KENNEDYS : Too drunk to f**k (feat. Camille) THE SISTERS OF MERCY : Marian (feat. Alex) XTC : Making plans for Nigel (feat. Camille) THE CURE : A forest (feat. Marina) MODERN ENGLISH : I melt with you (feat. Silja) THE UNDERTONES : Teenage Kicks (feat. Melanie Pain) KILLING JOKE : Psyche (feat. Sir Alice) THE SPECIALS : Friday night, saturday morning (feat. Daniella D'Ambrosio) ...

Hold your Colour: Pendulum

Advantages: Awesome Sounds!
Disadvantages: Some songs lack the magic

...Tracks such as Hold your colour blew my mind. Tarantula...a great collaboration with $pyda! These guys produce some amazing sounds, mixtures of distortion, heavy bass beats and some incredible drum work really come together to make some sounds you'll almost certainly not be able to help yourself raving to. This stuff just gets you moving! whether you can help it or not! If you like groups such as Prodigy or Sub-focus...you'll love these guys. ...

Not So Daft After All

Advantages: Amazing, Lengthy tracks, Danceable
Disadvantages: Brain Washing, Lack of tracks

..."The Brainwasher" does exactly what it says on the tin. But not all the songs are Hardcore. If you just want to relax, songs like "Emotion" or "Make Love" is just the cup of tea for you. Whether your Human or Robot this is a great album of choice. ...

Lets Hunt and Kill Bryan Adams

Advantages: Chilled Out Slightly Disturbing Stuff
Disadvantages: Me Ranting About Vanishing Point

...Record label says that "The Campfire Headphase has already achieved critical acclaim to rival its predecessors. What defines this album from previous work is Boards' desire to simply make a melodic, beautiful record. Playing out like a road movie, The Campfire Headphase is a dense and intricate collection of music, immersing the listener in kaleidoscopic swathes of spacious live instrumentation and trademark isolated chords of sound. Here, Boards ...
...of instruments, all of which they played themselves" but what does all that mean???????? Take "Chromarkey Dreamcoat" with its loop of a heavily treated with electronics acoustic guitar played with some slight violence, backed by swooping and burbling synths, and a hip hop drum type thing going on, is a prime example of what this album has to offer, relaxing, atmospheric and ever so slightly disturbing. Whilst a lot of electronic music can come across ...

Massive Attack have lost their way.

Advantages: Sound design. Interesting soundscapes. Sinead O'Connor.
Disadvantages: Melodic content non existent. Slightly dodgy production in areas.

Where are the tunes guys? What happened to the catchy riffs that made your songs instantly recognisable? There are more questions than answers on this album - the most pressing being - 'What has happened to Massive Attack' Massive Attack's albums are great listening experiences (before this one) - in particular Mezzanine. And their singles (before the singles from this album) were very memorable - most noticeably Teardrop - from Mezzanine. On ...
...sounds so 'samey'. Massive Attack are great at creating soundscapes - and that is something they have achieved very well on this album as well. The problem with this album - is that there is not a lot on top of those soundscapes - it's all very well doing sound design - but you have to have something that interest the ears - otherwise this music might as well be lounge music. The first single from this album that was released ' Special Cases' is ...
