Free Music Notes for '64-'95
Free Music Review: Pure jelly
Hit: 5 Stars
Excellent disk, gets away from the sillyness of songs like "all the ducks are swimming in the water" and back to the acid jazz we know and love reminding us of tracks like homage to patagonia. Great journey through the changes of the lemon jelly sound.Free Music Review: Different, Better..
Hit: 5 Stars
Quit complaining about their new style on this album! They are artists, not copy machines... they make music, and if they need to move on in a different direction, all praise to them!Free Music Review: Finally the melodic hypnotic and a classy piece of work.
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm not usually much for these types of dance hyper-looped over disco-ized affairs. There have been precious few good and decent creative efforts in this vain. The amount of dance music released each year is immense. The amount of good memorable melodic music that can mentally take you to a special place is very rare indeed. Even Lemon Jelly's previous CDs were a little much on the boring side. However with '64-'95 they've managed to tame the eletro-beast, grab my attention and hold it.
Highlights for me were '88 (Come Down On Me) it's a good ole rocking tune, nuff said. '95 (Make Things Right) is a light and breezy tune that leaves you feelin' seriously good. '90 (A Man Like Me) has a good groove that just holds on. Lastly the added touch of the worlds greatest living actor William Shatner patched in on '64 (Go) was a nice touch.
There are still a couple of tunes that I thought were just cop-outs like '93 (Don't Stop Now) just became annoying instead of hypnotic and '76 (The Slow Train) with it's typical D&B drum track made me wanna run the other way.
Anybody can cut and past samples into Acid Pro or Reason and so many "artists" just cop-out take the easy road and neglect the listener for the sake of self indulgence.
But to take a blank pallet and add in loops and samples and chip away at that stone until something musical, melodic and really interesting that still grooves is revealed is... well that's hard.
This album is 80% there.
Free Music Review: Soothing Psychedelic Visuals
Hit: 5 Stars
This entire DVD is awesome, the visuals and music match up perfectly. It's got some really cool 3D type animation along with some plain ol' 2D. A must for fans of the iPod Visualizer, Wave Twisters, The Wall, or Fantasia.Free Music Review: another AMAZING musical journey
Hit: 5 Stars
although this cd may be a slight departure from there 1st two cds ,
its an amazing journey, as usual these guys are masters at production,
and this production is immaculate and brilliant,sharp and clean.
as mentioned previously ,they need to come up with an sacd 5.1
surround sound format,which would just be out of this world.
