Anubian Lights - Phantascope (misspelled when keyed as Anubian Nights) Techno-tinged pop that's tons of fun, the lead singer has a great voice and knows how to use it. This girl can really sing. Whether the band is doing a more electronica- or rock-tinged song, they keep everything upbeat. Production is solid and interesting. Varied styles throughout the album and everyone can find something cool. Play this stuff!!!! Play 1,4,6,9 1**) Howlin female vox with funky, screachy sample. 2*) Quiet male vox over quick, smooth beat (reminds me of intro to the sopranos). Middle-eastern tinged female wails in background. A good techno, world beat vibe. 3) Guitar intro, with female vox. Good pop rock. 4**) Guitar rock again, with noir spy-movie air. Female vox. Strong chorus with girl yelling, sexy. 5) Light female vox, choir-like, over bubbly guitar and synths. 6**) Jazzy sample, salsa rhythm (or one of those latin american dances i don't know how to do). Male vox in foreign language, adds nicely to track. Shows the techno side of the band. Nice jazzy builds, horns crescendo. 7*) Slower, lots of attention paid to production (all sorts of sound bits, swoops, swirls). Great showcase for the female vox. 8) Slower, darker vibe with sonar beeps and vocoded voices. 9*) Horn stabs with ominous groove growing a bit more chaotic with crescendos of siren-like synth. Female vox about 'resist tyranny' 10) Straight up pop with a very light feel. Female vox and piano tend to keep hitting same note with a few chord changes throughout the song. 11*) Lounge-y with horn stabs and jazzy keyboard. Female vox with some spoken verses. Another song that would be at home in a spy movie (the part where he meets the girl at a bar in Berlin) 12) String section inserted into a slow vox/bass/guitar piece. Peaceful and relaxing. | ||
