Alright then, my first one of 2011 - tremendous. Firstly gents a review of your last few choices which I have head on heavy rotation for a couple of weeks now...
O holy night - not my favourite christmas track, but you can beat a bit of Nat King Cole can you ?
The Rain - Oh my word this really hasnt dated well for me - sounds ancient, cant say its really my thing, especially the chat at the end (the synths are pretty good though)
Return of the Mack - I once got into a big argument in Tooting for playing this track ! This version really adds something to it as well, nice pick (even if you didnt mean to)
Counterpoint - is it me or does the tune sound a bit like gamemaster ? Its ok, but the singer sounds a bit morbid to me im afraid
Blaumachn - this is the best of yours for me Kev, a wicked little groover that has an ace melody
House Arrest - Never heard this before but you gotta love it, its a cracking tune, another one showing its age I think these types of tracks really were the zeitgeist
Hannibal - I know you're feeling a lot of the caribou love Hodge old man but im not really getting it im afraid - personally I'd call this bar fodder or background music. It would be nice, for sure, but nothing more than that.
Lost & Found - This is a corker mate, took me a couple of listens to really get it - but a cracking melody and the vocals not bad and it really goes for it in the second half. Tune !
Five / We've Found It - Same singer isnt it, even though its spelt differently ? He sounds much better here I reckon and this is a top tune mate, the production is excellent. I'd go quite mad for this in a club !
Jamelia - This tune sounds so familiar, yet I dont know why. For me this track just overdoes the quirky. All those extra effects and there is just too much going on in the second half and it doesnt quite work I dont think.
Reading all that back I think in future I will not do spotify posts when im on a bit of a downer (way too much booze on Friday - depression always kicks in for a day or so on a Sunday !) so apologies but ive started now...
My tracks are:
Pink Synth
Another product of searching around spotify, its a corking chill out tune. And the break with the piano is gorgeous.
Silence
The acoustic version of the big trance tune really adds another dimension to it.
Scooby Snacks
Cracking tune, im sure you both know it - pop with a sense of humour, wicked.
I wish
Stevie Wonders best tune or simply his best base line ? Heard this at the restaurant on NYE and it reminded me of how funky it is !
Im Gonna Be (500 Miles)
I always thought this was a pile of shit until we did the Hogmanay thing at my folks and I paid attention to this tune. Its simple its effective and the 'da da lada's' are sing-a-long-tastic.
