Free Music Notes for Becoming X
Free Music Review: "Becoming X"
Hit: 5 Stars
I've had this cd forever but recently put it on my iPod and started listening to it again. I know there's so much debate about what "trip hop" really is - to me this album is definitely trip hop. It's dark and sexy but not too out there that you can't listen to it in the car. The songs are almost pop but the music really makes it work - the acoustic guitar and heavy bass beat on "Post-Modern Sleaze" is SO good. If you haven't heard this definitely give it a listen.
Becoming X Poster
The U.K.-based Sneaker Pimps combine standard rock guitar parts with trip-hop beats and clear white-soul vocals, and, when strumming an acoustic guitar (as on the first single, "6 Underground"), the trio is virtually indistinguishable from Luscious Jackson. While using electronica's signifiers--jungle's rattle, trip-hop's dark churn, ambient's synth washes, hip-hop's samples--Sneaker Pimps never stray far from the comfy world of the pop song. Becoming X's opener, "Low Place Like Home," is only one step from Alanis, while the rousing closer is as breathy and sunny as the Cardigans. --Roni SarigEnglish version featuring different cover art.
