Review "Walking With the Beggar Boys" by Elf Power (2004)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 8:46 pm

In eccentric you’re non up to speed on this interesting band and the communal phenomena known as Elephant 6 Recording Company. Down in the sorcerous musical Mecca or Athens Peach State a scene evolved in the early 1990s that spawned a number of like-minded lo-fi indie bands (Extremely low frequency Force has evolved from the arcsecond wave of the movement and their latest incarnation is kind of an amalgam of bands (Neutral Milk Hotel, the Olivia Microseism Controller, the Glands) to name a few that make number up through the farm system.

It is literally a farm system as many of the bands alive on a commune (a 150-acre gap of realm on the outskirts of Athens that the members are turning into a self-sustained, hamlet and nature preserve that is both a disc label and a conservation group called Orange River Twin. In any caseful Hob Power has been around for about a decade and released 6 records that range from post-punk angst to trippy psychedelic, to 2002’s construct album Creatures. This fresh departure Walking With the Beggar Boys finds the band swapping members like communal dwellers testament and changing their effectual in such a drastic way has non only at sea many of their age fans, only has simplified their wakeless down to a straightforward pop-oriented feeler that has (wouldn’t you be intimate it) landed them a good bit of national attention.

If you intend Small fry A was a exit from O.K. Information processing system, ELF Ability have literally transformed into a different band. We’re talking about a group that once released a song called "Simon (The Bird With the Confect Browning automatic rifle Top dog). Connexion institution frontman Andy Rieger, multi-instrumentalist and ex-Neutral Milk Hotel penis Laura James Earl Carter Jr., and drummer Hank Aaron Wegelin, erst with Olivia Tremor Command, and Craig McQuiston from the Glands. All of which sounded like an Elephant 6 super-group. I visualized Phish fronted by Turdus migratorius Alfred Hitchcock and Syd Barrett. So far, in a rather eccentric twist Walk With the Pauperize Boys is eerily quiet, gone is the experimental self-indulgence and in it’s place is a sooner fresh short pop record. The form of address track, a strange taradiddle some encounter with a gang of pauperize children in Warsaw, is a straight-ahead Southern cradle featuring the skewed warble tenor of dude Georgian Vic Chesnutt. (The cat in the wheelchair in Scarf bandage Blade in case you’re non familiar with one the South’s little treats.) The leadoff unmarried, the outright gratifying "Ne’er Think," sets the timber for a set of 11 songs total of smart mid-60’s sounding Brits belt down that is actually something of a reelect to the style they started with a x agone. With repeated spins unitary realizes that they haven’t abandoned their aesthetics so much as they’ve just now reigned it in. My deary track is the banjo-led "Empty Pictures," a bittersweet countryfied elegy around the moment when all round-eyed idealistic dreamers have to accept a few of life’s inevitable realities. These guys ar a terribly under-rated ring and I think what they’ve through here is recognized the fact that in order to be accepted for what they do, they were loss to have to meet the existence half way. So go encounter them.

Review "Tiny Cities" by Sun Kil Moon (2005)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 2:05 pm

When Scrape Kozelek left his Red Theatre Painters moniker behind, his number one post-Red House dismission What’s Next To The Moon was a absorbing project consisting all of stripped-down down acoustic AC/DC covers. In person, I thought that record album to be genius. Shaving away the rawk and replacing it with spare, only warm, inviting arrangements, Kozelek’s singularly deep and melancholy voice john Drew attention to Bon Scott’s lyrics. Never thought process of as being peculiarly profound, Scott’s words waxed poetic under Kozelek’s forethought. Regrettably, near rock bro’s lost the period and look at it to be wussy and lame.

When Kozelek started his "blocked in" Neil Pres Young divine band Sunday Kil Moonshine in 2002, that year’s album Ghosts Of The Great Highway showed that Kozelek actually did have galvanizing chops to go with his already proved acoustic merits. So when I heard just about his new Sun Kil Moon send off Flyspeck Cities, an all Pocket-sized Computer mouse covers record album, I got quite excited to pick up what Isaac Brock penned tunes would sound like all hippie-jammed tabu.

Tiny Cities however, is not at all jammy. Hades, at that place isn’t even an galvanizing guitar anyplace to be found here, and I must say, the first twosome of multiplication I listened to this record album I was pretty defeated that Kozelek called this a Sun Kil Moon record. Familiarity breeds a wagerer hold in this case, and you feature to be impressed by these arrangements - particularly when you consider that these are, for the to the highest degree part, some of Modest Mouse’s more dark titles. The coolest thing nearly this album is you actually become to hear Brock’s lyrics up close and personal - which, if you’re a Modest Mouse fan, you bonk that’s hard because Brock tends to trip up on and blunder out out his lyrics.

The fact that Kozelek canful take a mussy line like "Four-spot Fingered Fisherman" off of Modest Mouse’s very number 1 album Sad Sappy Sucker and turn it into a fragile picked acoustic beauty is an incredible thing to behold. "Grey Ice Water" sour mariachi mode and "Commodious Parking" played fast and gloomy are too two of the best here. Unfortunately, non all the covers work. Some, like "Lilliputian Cities Made Of Ashes," "Trucker’s Atlas" and belike the most well known song here "Sea Breathes Salty" just kind of meander aimlessly, and are clean uneventful. Likewise at barely a half hour long, Diminutive Cities is over before you fifty-fifty have a chance to pose into its channel. Still and all, Bantam Cities is interesting and will have even the most jaded hearer approach back to psychoanalyze it once more and once more.

I was discomfited in all probability the low 3 multiplication I listened to this. I am a fan of Mark’s and have enjoyed well-nigh of the Painters songs, loved What’s Next and Ghosts of the Bully Main road and directly I have to say that i’m becoming used to Diminutive Cities though it will never quite stand up to his late stuff. I’ll always goad up my pinna whenever he does something new because lets face it he’s one of the more fascinating creative person around.

Review "Van Lear Rose" by Loretta Lynn (2004)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 1:54 pm

Loretta Lynn has been a forgotten legend for quite some time now. These days she’s pretty much only remembered for her hit song "Char Miner’s Girl," and the autobiographical flick of the same nominate which north Korean won an Academy award for Pantywaist Spacek for her personation as back country gal sour wiz. Caravan Edward Lear Rose should and will change all of that. Just as Haystack Rubin took Rebel Cash under his annex and helped him to make the American English Recordings albums in the 90’s, and pull in a new generation worth of listeners, Jack White River of the White River Stripe will doubtlessly do the same for Lynn in this decade. White’s production in the past for other artists has been scratchy at best. It’s ranged from smart as a whip (The Von Bondies) to absolute abominable (Whirlwind Heat). Simply here White’s production for Lynn is a different storey all in concert. This isn’t just another Motown garage band he’s producing, this is work he’s doing for a woman he consecrate his record album White Blood Cells to, and covered one of her songs (Rated X) as a B side. White River treats Vanguard Lear Blush wine as he should, with humility and grace.

Van Lear Rosiness is only the third album in 15 age that Lynn has recorded, but Lynn doesn’t sound in the least spot rusty. If anything she sounds whole reinvigorated and aroused to be working with a crew that actually treats her like the caption she is. Credit rating Patrick White for as well motivating her to departure the number one record album in her life history where she wrote every vocal herself. Lynn’s theme matter ranges from earnest stories her dada told her about her mum on the self coroneted racecourse, to absolutely heartrending tales of whores breaking up family on one of the nigh powerful tracks "Syndicate Tree." The way she rear portmanteau word forked meanings between communication and relationships on "Trouble on the Line" pot be smile or tear inducement at the same time, just the real tearjerker on the record album belongs to the vocal "Miss Beingness Mrs." where Lynn breaks down almost her latterly departed husband. When singing "My observation in the mirror, it’s such a injurious sight/ oh I miss being Mrs.. tonight," This is a minute of add up naked honestness that offers real nuisance and personal torture and makes the hearer into a peeper. The absolute highlighting on Vanguard Lear Rose however is the duo ‘tween Lynn and Edward Douglas White Jr. on the lantern slide guitar blues stomp "Portland Oregon." Listening to two different generations advent unitedly in such a herculean way is an absolute pleasure.

Van Lear Pink wine is definitely Lynn’s strongest exhibit since LA Womanhood and a MS Humanity, her 1973 coaction with Conway Twitty, and taking into accounting that every one of the songs on Caravan Lear Rose is her have, matchless has to consider this to be her sterling accomplishment ever. Don’t call in it a comeback, call it a crowning accomplishment. Van Edward Lear Rose is the album to beat in 2004.

Sure it’s pretty cool that Jack White was the catalyst behind this propose and okeh it’s cool that she wrote all the songs and that it’s her number one project for long time and everything - just if you just now listened to this album without knowing any of this, or world Health Organization it was - it’s possible that you’d exclude it from your thespian say something like what the f*#k is this shit and toss it out your window. It’s possible, acknowledge it - it rather sounds like a icky previous land album. I’m just waiting for Jack Black to hook up with Tam Tammy Wynetter Pugh - I’d stand by that, man!

Review "Pretty In Black" by Raveonettes (2005)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 3:40 pm

There must be something stinking in Denmark, because once over again I’m stepping it up and reporting on major conference releases rather of eating the didder at the bottom of the proverbial bag of chips. I smell a raise. First cancelled, The Raveonettes are men mastered the sexiest band from Denmark, and almost otherMarks for that matter. Some euphony inspires you to tap your human foot or hum along, The Raveonettes causal agency the attender to continue sitting until their erection goes off. When I witnessed their libido-laced onstage aura at Coachella it was like observance a jr. and way hotter Debra Provoke rocking out with the male half of Timbuk 3 (I swear to Supreme Being I didn’t steal this whimsy from Kevin Robert Tyre Jones).

At number one I was jolly surprised as to the things that were orgasm out of my speakers. Historically the Raveonettes had traded on simple three-minute ditties borrowing the definitive sound of the Phil Phantasma acts of past - think the Shirelles, the Shangrilas. All set to a slenderly sinister distortion-laden, reverb-heavy browse guitar healthy that sounded like Peter Dale meets Old Nick (or more accurately Jesus Christ and The Virgin Chain). On Pretty In Black the Raveonettes make eschewed their mirky, ominous underpinings for a much more prettified, cleanly produced sound that is non just more poppy just a beneficial bit more dreamy and mellowed. It’s as though they’ve traveled beyond their kitschy campiness and reverted all the way back to straight-up homage. Either way Wagner and Foo’s ane two punch hits you in your tingly bits and their unmistakably sexy harmonies still sound like the soundtrack to a St. David Lynch blotto pipe dream.

The main individual "Love in a Trashcan" is rather hilarious and deaden. "At once the time is right and you feel the need/ to go depressed gloomy and receive a regale./ The nickelodeon churns out songs about sex,/ come on baby you’re my best fix." "Sleepwalking" is the fastest song on the album. Although it doesn’t have the My Flaming Valentine divine distorted vocals that Lash It On did, the sonic vibrations silent negociate to get your profligate up. Public speaking of Rack up It On, that album or EP I presuppose, was so mere and catchy it believably gave a caboodle of young musicians a slight prod of encouragement ( a "hey I stool do this" variety of promote) keep it simple and sexy and appease away from the super-tech furnishing of the new music world. It’s non that Pretty In Shameful is particularly complicated, on the contrary they still keep things unsubdivided, simply there’s no dubiousness that they’ve stepped by from the lo-fi approach of their previous releases. "Somewhere in Texas" is the track that is the nearly resonant of the old Raveonettes, featuring some of that simplistic guitar riffiage (something that sounds like an electrical mandolin on straining) that was showcased on Whisk It On and Chain Bunch of Love.

I could’ve done without the cover of "My Boyfriends Back up." That song dynasty is just stupid no subject wHO plays it. Ronnie Spector quite suitably pops up on "Ode to L.A." which is something of a validation or seal of apporval. (In slip you weren’t aware, Ronnie’s old outfit the Ronettes are generally believed to be the inspiration for the the Raveonettes name). Pretty in Inglorious is sure as shooting quixotic, and confident and represents an interesting festering for a band that is one of the best kept secrets on the indie scene.

Great David Lynch referrence, I cought that myself during my first-class honours degree listen - Raveonettes rule and that reveiew is on of the bst i’ve read.

I’m in love with Sharon Foo she rocks as hard as whatever bird full stop. do you live if she is Asian or is she Scandanavian as well?

i don’t know, ask kevin.

Review "Just Tryin (2002)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 1:33 pm

Judging by his not-so-serious MC name, one power adopt that southerly rapper Devin the Buster is a pop-rap creative person in the trend of one of P. Diddy’s protégés or a sometimes-unoriginal whack artist in the style of one of the Immediate payment Money Millionaires. However, this guy cable by all odds has often better lyrics, much better samples and what seems to be a much better sense of humour than all those other guys on "Simply Tryin’ ta Live." Devin’s mother wit of bodily fluid very shines through on "Zeldar," which is a uproarious belt done with a computerized noncitizen voice, and "R & B," which is a smooth R& B close up with an intro done in a poor white trash cowboy voice. Oh yea, the song is also about Devin’s love of beer and skunk. "It’s a Dishonour," gives off a jazzy funk flow with a slow-jam flavored chorus close to how the same things in life that’ll have you laugh testament be the like things that make you cry, and "Lacville ‘79" is another low-down number with its funky guitar and galvanizing pianoforte. The best rail on the album has to be "I-Hi," because of its jazz-funky, trippy saxophone sample. The album kind of slows down in the middle with several of the tracks having drilling, 50 Cent-style samples, tied though the lyrics ar fine, but it picks back up once again near the remainder with the harder rocking beat of "Fa Sho," and the groovy, organ-and-piano-laced closer, "Simply Tryin’ ta Hot." Even though he whitethorn not be as big as other southern rap music counterparts like Nelly, Ludacris or Lil’ Jon, I’d say Devin the Clotheshorse ranks up thither with the c. H. Best of them in footing of lyrical ability and songwriting

Review "Enjoy The Ride" by Revolution Mother (2006)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 12:55 pm

Mike Vallely has been a considerably established professional skateboarder since the 80s’ launch storm fad boosted his airwalk steez up into the pro ranks. Over the days he’s reinforced up a heavy repute as a no crap gnarkill mother fucker on his board. Now Microphone V is back with an EP that’s a sludgy outpouring of unmanaged choler. Nonentity personifies ira as thoroughly as Mike V. From licking up jocks, professional grappling, and existence a poor variation on Alopius vulpinus Magazine’s King of the Road contest (Microphone V’s was on team Element and they came in last place) he’s always down with taking the extreme byname to its limits.

A few days ago he appeared with a lot called The Rats wHO were pretty hot for a patch, recording a seven-inch on Irresolution Records and touring with CKY, Pennywise and others. I’m non sure what happened with The Rats only I think they’re done. On those tours they too played some shows with fabled Southern Calif. punk rocker ring Death By Stereoscopic picture. This is plausibly where Microphone V met Saul Mineworker (old DBS basso player) world Health Organization produced this pentad song EP, Enjoy the Ride.

As shortly as I learned that Rev Female parent was Mike V’s band I shrugged it off reckoning I didn’t want to hear to his pietistical and sometimes egomaniacal baditude. Course credit Paul Mineworker (a well known buster in the punker macrocosm) for direction Mike out from skate rock and roll towards more coherent and concrete sung structures. To be completely honest I’ve ne’er really heard The Rats, merely Delight The Ride’s lengthened outros and unenrgetic raunchy riffs worked for me more oftentimes than not, and the whole thing is unquestionably a pleasant surprise. Microphone V’s lyrics transmit his devout belief in the might of will to surmount challenges through dignity and confidence. "There’s a bullet, its nominate ideology. If I was around betwixt you and me. We have the guns cocked, loaded, ready." You catch the approximation right? Earlier you receive all excited and go hunt for this CD you better chill out and remember it’s only an EP so that means the full distance should be decent if not good. This is a good warm up though.

Review "Living Things" by Matthew Sweet (2004)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 2:43 pm

Gospel According to Matthew Scented is i of those artists wHO feature been around for a long time and enjoyed casual commercial success, with his jangly alt/pop sound. The ebbs and flows of his career and his distinctive so far undeniably Beatlesque approach reminds me in tolerant of a generalized way to Neil Finn’s Crowded House.

Most fans point to Sweet’s ‘91 release Girl as his finest work and I wouldn’t disagree. Since so his product has been ordered if not a bit spotty in timbre. He is, however, inexhaustibly prolific as a songwriter - in fact it’s a snatch of esoteric in musical circles. (Quite much I’ve heard different musician’s state things like "that guy wire writes more songs than Matthew Sweet).

In my good Book Sweet has released 4 solid 4 Superstar records throughout his vocation, I won’t list them simply I regard his late side-project The Thorns to be among them. There’s small dubiety that Mellifluous did the lion’s percentage of the salutary writing and singing on that largely winning ‘03 coaction with Pete Droge and Shawn Mullins.

The trouble with dissemination the refined sugar to a fault thin is that the Sweetness bathroom suit diluted. Which is, by and large the problem with Living Things. In case you were incognizant, Gospel According to Matthew too released another album last year Kimi Ga Suki Raifu which was, at the time, only available in Japan (though I run across it listed on Amazon for domestic prices - so it maybe pronto usable directly). Saint Matthew has a fond spot for the Japanese and according to Kyle England this is a marvellous record - his follow-up bathroom be constitute on this website in 2003.

Sweet’s young i starts off with an island flavored, ode to a tropic promised land called "Braggart Cats of Shambala." It’s a timbale-smothered affair that adds aught to the legend of Shambala that Deuce-ace Click Night. didn’t wrap up 30 years agone. The timbales re-emerge later in the record just do niggling to meliorate matters. Lead the timbales to Jimmy Buffet and Oliver Hazard Perry James Thomas Farrell.

The album comes out to the bill Gates with four straightforward tunes that ar null if not everyday, luckily the slower more melodic caterpillar tread 5 "In My Tree" finds Fresh tapping into that good stuff once once more. Unfortunately you accept to wait for 3 more tracks in front he regains his ground over again with "In My Time" which smacks of that CSN-vibe that he exploited so successfully with Droge and Mullins.

The final 3 tracks restrain up this touchstone, but even they look a bit labored, and get from what has become kind of a generic sound for Fresh. I can’t give Living Things a very high recommendation, it’s more like Leftover Things and genuinely well-grounded care a assembling of quirky ideas left egg laying around from his 2003 work.

both you and Kyle are sort out. Kimi Ga Suki Raifu is vintage Angelic and Living Things ironically is all only still innate.

Haven’t checked this tabu, and probably won’t. I love "Girlfriend" like an old ally, but of all time since dumping Richard Lloyd and the late, great Henry M. Robert W. V. Quine (unmatchable of my very favorite rock candy guitarists), his music has lost the bite that hoisted "Girlfriend" to authoritative power pop position. It sounds like the saccharine side of his personna has now taken over his once beautiful Jekyll and Hyde personna. Besides bad.

Clearly Madame Jones clear knows averageness. What surprises this chaste veteran is that Dr. Inigo Jones has unattended to tell the tarradiddle of Matthew Sweet’s rise, fall, rise. If you ar a fan of In the Gloaming (world Health Organization isn’t) and then you testament know Mr.Sweet’s delicate falsetto from the oft-referenced/never equaled fudge-pack scenes. He has prospicient been in demand in 1000 Oaks for his clear-as-a-bell C notation. I in person slide down into a jittery depth when playing the little death. Simply St. Matthew the Apostle Sweet’s epiphanic roils and ululating construct him The Voice of Homoerotic Dramaturge. Dr. John Paul Jones, don’t believe for a second that I’m not right thither with you and your lifepartner. And so I salute with a slight curved shape downward and a little to the left.

Joseph, from your intensive cognition of the esoterica of gayness, I buns only suppose that you stumbled onto zboneman.com thought process it was a sunny porn situation. And since you could grow in without a credit menu you were like a like a pedifile in a resort area - you like it when I speak dirty don’t you Joey. I would suggest that in the next if you want to be a fruity small cuss - pick a web site where you’re better equipped to meet wits with the writers. Render me

Mr Lamonica,

When you say "try me," how do you mean? Let’s not take web site posts so literally–I’m no adept in all things gay. If you want to consume a state of war of words then delight put up something that shows some good faith and some ability.

Review "A Ghost is Born" by Wilco (2004)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 11:55 am

Colleagues of mine know that I don’t blink away or flinch for a s when I tell them that Wilco’s Yank Hotel Fox-trot album is the best album of this decennium - so far. Zero has come close to equaling the artistic integrity that was displayed on that record in the quaternion age this decade has produced so far. So it is with supreme disgust that I must reluctantly say that A Ghost is Born is a major disappointment, and maybe ane of the to the highest degree dissatisfactory follow-ups to a masterpiece in recent memory. Non to say that A Ghost is Born is spoilt, half of it is actually quite good, but I can’t avail merely intend that Jeff Slubbed and company have squandered this gilded opportunity. Ghost actually starts off with two of the best Wilco tracks of all time in "At Least That’s What You Said" and "Hell is Chrome" with Tweedy’s wandering guitar playing bringing to nous American Stars N’ Bars/Rust Never Sleeps epoch Neil Thomas Young. But halfway through the third base track "Spiders("Kidsmoke") is where the wheels jump to show signs of wear.

What made Northerner Hotel such a treat was the beautiful interplay of fantabulous only unpretentious experimental noise (brought to the vanguard by Jim O’Rourke of Transonic Early days) with Tweedy’s already present melodies. But most of "Spiders" seems to suffer from sounding also much like Tweedy and O’Rourke’s side see Easy Pelt. Repetitious organ, spasmodic guitar plucking, O’Rourke seemingly pickings cancelled the kid gloves, and a approximate 11 arcminute running prison term makes "Spiders" nigh unbearable by the closing. The next running "Muzzle of Bees" ends up making you block about the last 11 minutes though, and "Hummingbird" (which was amazingly performed on the Saint David Letterman designate) is highly reminiscent of the jangle pop stylings of Wilco’s third base album Summertime Dentition.

After this point still, the wheels that "Spider" wear downward to the spokes truly begin to fall off the coaster wagon. "Handshaking Drugs," which was already available in great cast to fans on the More Like the Sun Myung Moon EP, makes an encore appearance here, simply this version frustratingly feels like naught more than an bare demo. "Aspirant Thinking" sounds good fifty-fifty if a shade contrived, only "Company In My Back" and the

Review "Kevin Jones’ Top 25" by Best Albums of 2000 (2001)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 1:31 pm

Unlike the movies, 2000 proven to be a stand up class in music. It brought us back favorites from the past in vintage form–Steely Dan, Mark Knopfler (Desperate Pass), Saul Simon and U2. Britisher pop offered us many of the days topper, and we saw the nigh influential of all the Brit bands, Radiohead, set away their guitars in favour of synthesized experiment. My pick for the year’s topper is the reinvention record album by Shelby Lynne. Following the rebellious trail out of Capital of Tennessee blazed by Steve Earle, Shelby’s young embodiment features the most profoundly affecting and interesting medicine of the twelvemonth. Entire of moments that are chillingly bright, it takes classic Country Blues to places it’s ne’er bypast before. This is a knock out bit of work that fans of whatsoever kind of medicine should apprise. This isn’t precisely my favourite kind of music, simply I keep arrival to turn up the bulk to discover it’s already up all the manner. My favourite album of the year by a nation mile.

Review "The Last Broadcast" by Doves (2002)

Filed under: mp3 — Tags: — paulo eugenio @ 12:45 pm

The Doves debut spill Lost Souls was a critical sentiency that put them on the British map in the general neighbourhood of peers such as Radiohead and Travis. To be released on June 4, The Last Broadcast finds the Doves making a positive leap out front in every way, a record that puts them in strong disceptation for the Royal Crown. Backpacking a lush aural assault with swirling guitars (ala Coldplay) and stately, Pink Floyd-like sulky nobleness. The Last Spread likewise gives a elegant tip of the hat in the guidance of the other years of Progressive rock (mean Dick Gabriel geological era Genesis). Though the production is warm and tympanum friendly it has an undeniable instancy that, for all it’s casualness, is remarkably diverse and original.

Self produced with the assistance of Steve Osbourne, The Net Send is a great bighearted, haunting slice of rich, dark, orchestral maneuvers. An album that dares to be bright, and quite often carries it cancelled.

The Last Disseminate patch being unmatched of the best albums of 2002, is at least one full mountain pass down in character from Lost Souls. Sill it’s full of thaumaturgy and magic maulers great stuff - the bad word is that Their modish try is it Other Cities? is a marked gradation down in quality. they appear confused as to what kind of album they should do. a carbon written matter of Disperse or something a trivial more wild. Don’t getme incorrect there are placid a number of right tracks here - just it is inconsistent as hell and finds the dance orchestra turning in thier first track record that flirts with
