Free Music Notes for dancing in dreams
Free Music Review: heart in right place, execution a little off
Hit: 3 Stars
first off, the connections being made that brought me to this album, i was lead to believe it was an 80's album.
that being said, upon first listen the songs have the right sound to them, if a little too miami sound machine and nu shooz for me(lol).
i guess the only thing that brings it down for me is the vocals, that style, while suited for st. etienne or dubstar, for this kind of music that pitch perfect singing leaves alot to be desired. then she goes off key from time to time as well.
but the music's nice enough, it might grow on me, but the vocals will surely not.
Free Music Review: Like an old friend
Hit: 4 Stars
Finding this CD on amazon.com was like running into an old friend after years spent apart and picking up right where you left off. I had this album on vinyl in 1989, loved it then, then lost it in a break-up with an old boyfriend, who took it along with his LPs. For years, I could never find it in record stores, then it finally showed up on Amazon, and I had to get it before it disappeared again. I love, love, love Tell Me What You Want to Do - it was my best friend's and my theme song for a whole summer, and we would put it on and blast it out my apartment window. I also really, really like Under Your Spell and I Don't Listen (When People Talk) - great eighties dance tunes with loads of vocals to sing along to while you dance around your room (or in front of your mirror - admit it, you do it). Also terrific are Barbarian Lovers' remake of Brother Louie, and the synth-pop songs On Through the Night, Burn for You, Neon Nocturne, and Where Have the Feelings Gone. As you can tell, I really dig this genre of music. Welcome back, Barbs - now how about a new CD before I wear this one out?Free Music Review: Influential Album
Hit: 5 Stars
In my opinion this is a pretty influential album.. In it's day it was a bit of an enigma, few knew where to place it musically. I would not really call it "New Wave" but cause of the time period it sort of landed there. I can hear influences of The Doors, Pink Floyd, The Eurythmics evan Sade at times. Although they are fairly known in the U.S. they are much more widely known in Europe. This album is a collectors item (check google, the vinyl sells for over 100 dollars). BL are one of the better electronic/rock bands of the 1980's. They blend smart and interesting lyrics with what was then a very modern sounding electronic feel like no one has ever done before or since. This record has some very original songs and concepts, it also sounds good loud, or in headphones. How I miss those Simmons drums! "Words in the Wind" is one of my fav songs on this cd. The record sounds very fresh today but it still rocks and is far more advanced than people realize.Free Music Review: Barbarian Lovers have a sound all their own
Hit: 5 Stars
A good CD, I wish I had known about them way back when. Barbarian Lovers can be categorized as a pop and synth-rock fusion. A good description is "moody and dark but upbeat at times." I would definitely emphasize the female angelic voice as the main reason why everybody should listen to it, as well as the guitar and synths which are in the pocket! This is not Portishead or Eurythmics or anything else. Barbarian Lovers have a sound all their own, and in that sense they are very good. Recommended to people looking for something thats not typical.Free Music Review: For those that need "quality" music
Hit: 4 Stars
Good songwriting, technical proficiency, memorable melodies and nice harmonies - this is what Barbarian Lovers are all about. They proved this with "Dancing in Dreams".The music here is good and has an original freshness that time could not possibly destroy. It appears that the duo has paid excessive attention to every note and detail of their music. The best songs of the album are "Under your Spell", "Dancing in Slow Motion", "Words in the Wind" and "Neon Nocturne". Give it 3 stars if you dont' like 80's style music.
