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) ...

Musical Talent In A Box - Moby: Play

Advantages: Tantalises your ear buds!
Disadvantages: Probably not too everyones taste!

...who have read my Moby Play DVD review you will know that I am a massive fan of this extremely talented musician. I have purchased this particular album, 3 times since its release in 1999. This just proves what a fan I am of this highly acclaimed and powerful album that has sold over 8 million copies worldwide! I can't live without the inspirational tunes of this album! Each track means so much to me emotionally and I am about to tell you why with ...
...is of….. …..Moby - Play (The no.1 selling album) Please note: The CD listing is slightly different to the DVD (As I reviewed previously). **Genre** For those who don't know a lot about Moby's music, this CD Album is different from most mainstream chart music you would hear. It features great beats, rhythmic tempo and you can really feel yourself within the music. If I was to assign this CD album to a genre I would classify it as down tempo - ...

summer rains

Advantages: contains one of the most beautiful songs ever written
Disadvantages: the rest pales in comparison

This album I bought purely because it contained my all time fave track, teardrop. As a fan of female vocalists I initially felt that the rest of the album was not for me, but on listening to it as a progression of tracks I have come to find that it has grown on me. however, I am still personally drawn to the female vocals on tracks such as 'Angel'. 'Inertia creeps' is a well written and musically excellent track as it does just what its title expresses, ...
...in mind of the black beetle on the cover..eeugh I still think that this CD is worth buying just for 'teardrop' though, as it shines like the light reflected from such beyond the rest of the music contained here. 'teardrop' can melt your heart, the vocal style so light and airy it breezes through your mind stirring the notions of desire for a love as transient as rain, as lasting yet refreshing and cathartic as the moment tears evaporate in the heat ...

Review of Mezzanine (Limited Edition) - Massive Attack

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 ...

Little to set apart from Blue Lines and Mezzanine

Advantages: Floating singing, great support, tunes you can get involved with
Disadvantages: Lyrics still not amazing

...won't be disappointed either. Although Protection is less electronic than their next album, it still leans more towards drum-and-bass than anything else (apart from trip-hop, of course). Be prepared for more lyrics, however, and tunes more like 'Teardrop' than 'Angel'. I wouldn't rate this above or below the other MA albums, because all three are a necessary progression and each good in their own way. Buy them all and you won't be disappointed. ...
