Imaginative, distinctive, often mystical 60s-ish electronic pop, "retro-futurism", with female vocals; 1st full length album that combines elements used by later Stereolab (without the kraut-rock fixation, it has been said) as well as early This Mortal Coil (with or without Ivo, depending on the track) and even Ladytron. Compared also to the United States of America ('60s band), but Broadcast are more up-to-date. This is a band that manages to have presence, even on the less exciting tracks. All clean Rec: 7, 9, 10 (also try 3, 4, 11, 12) 3 short electronic interlude, excellent, stands on its own 4 moderate tempo, dreamy, dark; updated throwback to some forgotten Top 40 hit from about 1970. 5 simple, slow 6 layered, almost incomplete-sounding, plodding beat (not in a bad way) 7 intense, elemental, quicker pop song, Stereolab comparisons, Cocteau Twins-ish melody) 8 this would have probably been the single, slow, deliberate 9 this one is magical; interplay of music's melody and instrumentation and voice; two quick verses and then a long denouement, mystical 10 the ballad. pensive and sad, classic, brilliant for lyrics and music, check out the ending! 11 quick verse/chorus structure, sensibilities of old hits 12 instrumental, excellent, starts out like a fragment, long deconstructed-electro-ambient ending. | ||
