Elemental - Ian Boddy

Advantages: Perfect collection of contemporary music
Disadvantages: Could be seen as repetitive because of the large number of tracks

...Never a person to dissapoint, this album offers a brilliant insight into the lyrical and musical talent that is Ian Brown, presenting some of his most renound tracks such as "F.E.A.R" and "My Star" in a well produced collection. The clear and obvious upside to this CD is the fact that it not only summarises Ian Brown's uncommon genre of music and taste, but it also provides a contemporary twist on what could be considered tracks worthy of his former band, The Stone Roses. The music on this CD is most definately creative, with a wide variety of instruments and mechanically engineered sounds implemented into many of the tracks.

Disadvantages: NO ROSES, NOT EVEN ANY CHOCOLATES!

With the 6 live performances added to ensure anybody who already had all the videos rushed out to but the DVD, I’m pretty sure that yes, it will sell. Admittedly, most of the videos offer up nothing new and contain nothing more than predictable but nevertheless enjoyable promos. I can’t help but wonder why Brown couldn’t have taken a heads up from U.N.K.L.E. who often produce outstanding videos for their material. Hey! Whatcha gonna do... Read review
