Kings of Woolworths: Ming Star Label: Mantra Recordings
I found this CD to be rather dull. Collectively, the songs on this CD more or less feature the same melodic style - lots of layered synths
reverberating over a simple melodic idea. That's about it. The tracks are pretty unoriginal. I guess if you want to try something, try: 4,9.
1. simple melodic theme built up with progressively louder percussion and various synths/guitar layers
2. mellow ethereal trip-pop - vibraphones, heavily layered synths
3. reverberating synth melodies
4. electronicized conversation followed by aggressive electronics & distortions, ends w/ more robo-vocals
5. analog acid tweaking over big huge epic breakbeats
6. more analog tweaks over dubby break-y pop beats w/ cheesy samples
7. lots of lush synthesizers w/ dubby bass-line
8. tinkly vibraphones w/ lush tropic synth mellowness & dubby bass
9. mellow trip-hop w/ lots of reverberating synths layered
10. super-chill reverberating synths - not much beats
