Free Music Notes for The New Deal
Free Music Review: One of my favorite bands.....
Hit: 4 Stars
I saw these guys a couple of years ago in Portland, Maine. I never even heard of them until we went to the club they were playing at. Well, long story short, these guys blew me away. Really incredible stuff. The fact that they put out so much sound with only three guys on stage was amazing.
Their website hasn't been updated in a while, so I can only hope they're still together (I would love to see them live again). To be honest, although this CD has better sonics then their live discs, I would get the live stuff first. On the live discs, if you didn't hear the crowd you wouldn't believe it actually was live. If I remember correctly, their live performances were recorded on Mini-Disc, so the sound isn't as full as this CD. Doesn't matter. The live stuff is the best. Start there and get this one last. Not that this is bad.
The New Deal Poster
Is it live or is it iMac? "No sequencers or samplers were used in the recording of this album," announces the New Deal in the sleeve of their official debut (after three self-released live albums). The Toronto-based, self-proclaimed "live improvised breakbeat house" band isn't out to revolutionize dance music, exactly, but they do prove drum & bass, house, and other club-land mainstays don't have to be solely the province of technogeeks with laptops. This album might not make a strong case for one method being better than another--perhaps only the most discerning drum & bass purist will be able to detect the organic origins of "Self Orbit," for instance--but it certainly shows the trio are accomplished players capable of some delirious downtown grooves. Using only bass, drums, and keyboards, along with the occasional voice, trumpet, and theremin, the group journeys into spacey disco lounge in "The Ray Parker Suite: Part 1" and strikes up thumping Basement Jaxx-type house on "Back to the Middle." Vocal tracks are used to humorous effect--against the chilled vibe of "Exciting New Direction," a voice from the human resources department of a dot-com company ends with the kiss-off, "I'm calling to inform you that your position has not been identified as part of our new marketing strategy and has been eliminated." As finely constructed as dance-floor excursions like the nine-minute "Technobeam" are, however, the disc does leave the listener wanting more--that is, to really see these guys kick it out live. --Shawn ConnerDance & DJ Music CDs
