Give it up for the man called Mylo!

Advantages: Every song grabs your attention
Disadvantages: At times a bit repetitive due to extensive radio play.

This is the debut album from the Scotsman. I only bought the album recently having bought the single 'Drop The Pressure,' around about this time last year on a promo copy. One thing I can say is that I wish I bought it a lot sooner. Some of the many influences heard on "Destroy Rock & Roll" include Royksopp, Groove Armada, Daft Punk and even Scissor Sisters and Prince. You have to give it to this guy though, he's a master at making an album in which ...
...reportadly made this masterpeice on a second hand IMac. His music is rich, varied and well balanced throughout the journey of the album. The album kicks off with glorious opener 'Valley Of the Doll's' and instantly has soundtrack to the summer written all over it. It's an uplifting instrumental that is both warm and atmospheric. 'Sunworshipper' and Prince influenced, 'Guilty Of Love' are in the same vein of blissed-out summer grooves crammed with ...

Review of Destroy Rock 'n' Roll - Mylo

Ronson Back To The UK

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Little Hip Hop

...the making of the re-don version for Ronson. It is much more appealing than the original as you see that with his jazzy approach it brings out much more energy out of the tune to counteract the plainness of the sound which came form the first version. **Four Stars** 14. "Outversion" (Lude) Although this is a pretty alternative album, I couldn't help but feel that the way in which things were done in the album were relentless and pushed to the max ...

Review of Version [PA] - Mark Ronson

It's not music, it's art!

Advantages: Fantastic album if listened to from beginning to end, relaxing.
Disadvantages: Not all single tracks are amazing (although most are)

...an advert for Mylo's album Destroy Rock & Roll. I had heard 'Drop The Pressure' on the radio and although it was quite good, the main thing that attracted me to the album was the title. I hate Rock & Roll, so what could be better? The album slowly drifts into your consciousness via 'Valley of The Dolls'. It's a gentle melodic track - minimal, with accompaniment of soft humming vocal, just like someone mimicking the tune. To describe it might sound ...
...uplifting, you could just lie and listen to it and feel contented. That is, until it strangely ends really abruptly. That's not relaxing! Track 2 is in a similar vein to track 1, so I don't see why Mylo didn't just make the first one slow down or fade into the next as it would have been more effective. However, that's a minor complaint as 'Sunworshipper' is a fluid laid back groove. It's got a big slow beat, but that takes a back seat to the sunny ...

Review of Here I Stand - Usher

Can't Nobody Do X-Mas Like...

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: One weak track

...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ...
...have a soothing tune from the act as they bring forward something that al are bound to find familiar and one that enables them to bring forward the Soul end of their music to show just how they are able to transform a tune that all know by giving it a spin that suits the direction of their music and what they had brought with the two other album from 1970. **Four Stars** 2.“Santa Claus Is Coming To Town” As things move on we are brought to a track ...
