Pelican West

Haircut One Hundred

"Teenybopper Brit-pop tunes with some funk/Latin characteristics thrown in. A little monotonous but still fairly strong, and worth checking out for fans of artists like The English Beat, Orange Juice, XTC, etc." Reply

Eric Clapton

"A good, fun, no-frills record that features Clapton getting his freak on with the Delaney and Bonnie/Dominos crew. After Midnight and Let it Rain are the two best known tracks, but Blues Power is a great anthem that sums up what Clapton was all about at this point in his career. Also notable for ..." [+] Reply

Has opened my eyes to some other new avenues of music listening going forward. I really liked it, and the only thing keeping me from loving it was feeling like the pay offs and peaks weren’t reached very often and the album’s flow was a bit unchanging - if gorgeous.) I’ve been putting off writing my comment on this album. Wanted to give it another listen. Then once I’d done that I wanted another and another. And that wasn’t really because I absolutely adore the album, but because I hadn’t really been able to put my finger on what I had heard. I’m not familiar with Progressive Electronic, Wonky, UK Bass, Deconstructed House, etc - really I don’t have any context on any genre this is labeled as. I suppose the closest this comes to from my catalogue in my little mind is Flying Lotus. But it’s not a great fit. This is very unique. There is clearly a DEEP well of imagination and talent this artist has. They seem to be able to create intricate, crisp, alien yet soulful beats and tracks with ease (obviously it’s not easy, but he seems to have such a profound talent for such that it comes across as just a natural extension of his soul. Or something. Whatever). On the whole, the album is strikingly vibrant, loud yet not in a ridiculous way, but all the electronic sounds pop and the vocals, when they appear, come in hard and there are some really interesting climaxes that the artist takes his time to get to. After my listens I can’t say this is a true mind-blowing, game-changing album for me, and I think that the flow of the album is almost too methodical and restrained and slow building and, despite being a brilliantly unique sound, somewhat same-y. It’s not at all monotonous but based off how wild the individual parts are, the last thing in the world I thought I’d take away from this album is that it’s, idk, somewhat un-dynamic. Yet, I did feel at the end of each listen like there was something left on the table and that the peaks that are consistently hinted at are very rarely hit. Of course, those are the reasons I don’t personally feel this is a GREAT album. I do absolutely think it’s a good album, a damn fine one even. And it may be that my relatively lukewarm appreciation for it is due to how alien some of the sounds and certainly this combination of sounds is to my usual listening. I do think it’s opened up a few avenues of musical exploration that I didn’t know existed last week. And I look forward to checking out the Iglooghost debut as well as other similar stuff soon.

Lament

Ultravox

"These guys could do little wrong for me, personally thought this was a strong and consistent set of songs, nothing would have been out of place on a more trendy record by Talk Talk, for eg. Great musicianship and not over produced. Helps it stand up thirty years later." Reply

"This is actually the best version of "Hotel California". Side One (on CD) is flawless. Like having honey poured on your ears and Elle MacPherson licking it off, slowly. Shame the honey runs out on CD2 but you can't have everything." Reply

"Well-crafted folk music, there are some shorter "poppier" tracks and some longer ones, where there is some more interesting stuff going on. The fact that the lyrics are in German is secondary, the main attribute of the album is that it gets you relaxed, it lifts you to a heavenly grassland." Reply

I can't say there's a female rapper that I consider belonging among my absolute favorites, as I usually find it hard to connect/relate with them. But there is one exception to the above rule and it's Bahamadia - with all due respect to some other undoubtedly great femcees. I just love her delivery, it's so natural, so effortless. Also, the production does a good job of showcasing this even further. It creates a warm and cozy atmosphere with a soul-based background. It draws you in slowly but surely in a hypnotising and irresistible manner and then she delivers the finals blow with her vocals. It might seem that she lacks energy, but that's exactly the point (though it has to be said that it's not monotonous all the way through there are more "active" moments, for example Rugged Ruff or Total Wreck). All the guest are fine, both Da Jawn and 3 Tha Hard Way are deservedly some of the best tracks of the album due to their contributions, but I prefer listening to Bahamadia to be honest. It's not their fault, it's just that she is the unquestionable star, so captivating. The lyrics don't matter that much, because everything else is excellent, but they happen to be great, too, both as standalone lines or verses ("Spits the riddles like phlegm Loose with my lyrics like I double jointed them Twist and I bend, common episodes past freak modes The monstrous bass beneath my pace be like morse code Slash, beep, slash, beep, scanners Zero in to the system in your jeeps I'm out there with Kool Keith and Ced-Gee and De La Inventors of my third seeing eye The futuristic vision, I'm not among loony nut cakes upon a mission I gets in where I fit in, 'cause life's too short So you could all label me weirdo, but yo I know it's talent") as well as when it comes to storytelling that runs through a whole track, with True Honey Buns (Da Freak Shit) being a prime example of this. Good luck trying to spot the highlights, almost every track is one. Anyway, apart from the ones I already mentioned at various points (Rugged Ruff/Total Wreck/Spontaneity/True Honey Buns (Da Freak Shit)/Da Jawn/3 Tha Hard Way), it has to be I Confess, UKNOWHOWWEDU, Innovation. Yeah, you get the idea." [+] Reply
