Llorca: New Comer Label: F Communications
Rating (scale of 1-10, 10 being best): 5
I’m kind of torn here – I really like the use of jazz on this CD, to the point where this CD isn’t really a BPM CD anymore. Some of the jazz is sampled, some of it is live, and most of it is pretty good. But what I don’t dig are the R&B tracks – the lyrics aren’t that great and the songs come off too “produced”. F Communications is a cool label (founded by techno pioneer Laurent Garnier) – and I really like the recent releases, but this CD started cool and ended up too smooth. I liked: 1,2,3,5,7
1. Spoken word intro, jazzy deep-house w/ some real stylish sax licks
2. Fairly uptempo vocal jazz w/ nice pianos, nice smoky vocals (not really a BPM cut)
3. Upbeat straight-up sax lead w/ snappy drums and an occasional turntablism trick
4. R&B male vocals w/ some chill-out breakbeats – a bit too smooth
5. Stripped-down deep house w/ simple synth loops and some nice horns
6. Soul fem vocals – on the R&B tip, pretty mellow – nice piano
7. Flutes, with reverberating synths, snappy 2-step-style breakbeats
8. Vocal disco/jazz – catchy music but lyrics don’t quite work
9. Funky acid-jazz groover, cool guitars & bassline & style-y sax
