Saturday 21/2/09 1:03-1:39 Kanye Meets The Notwist (and Pelican)
I am not a big Hip Hop fan do not care (at all) for R&B but I think “Kanye West” album
808s & Heartbreak
is amazing dark 80’s sad still I couldn’t stop looping it for the last month or so. I am not going to start reviewing song by song but the first 3 are amazing try it out if you like depeche mode and nick cave and joy division sounds familiar to you.
My latest fix is “The Notwist” I just bought 2 of their albums “Shrink” (1998) and “The Devil, You + Me” (2008).
Shrink - you know the feeling of discovering an amazing album long time after it is out (11 years!) and you think to yourself all this time that i could have listen to this album damm, but anyway here I am with telling you about this album and I know that the word on the street is Chemical is the song (anyway on last.fm it got more downloads) my favorite is Electric Bear. let’s get it straight this is a cult classic album alt-rock-electronic with some jazz splashes (me no big on jazz when ever i here it i look for the floor buttons)
The Devil, You + Me - another great album this time I get to listen to it very close to release year ( i also happen to see the tour for this album which was great though to see it now it will probably blow my mind) I think it is a great album my favorite song on this album is On Planet Off which remained me very much my favorite band The Gog Machine, another great songs is Good Lies, Where In This World. Definitely a master piece.
Not a review but if you like post rock Mogwai Pram Mono you might want to check out Pelican album “The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw” the first song “Last Day Of Winter” is really really good (the whole album is great)
Writing this article I was listening to “The Bad Plus” let’s see if they make it into another post.
No Feedback is Bad Feedback!
