Princess D Reviewed 2006-07-20 | ||
Chill-out/Lounge/Trip-Hop. Canadian producers, songwriters, and brothers Francois and Dominic Paterson are Soma Sonic. This is an ultra-chic, clean Euro-sound, reminiscent of Hooverphonic, Lamb. Sweet sometimes eerie female vocals throughout, remind me of Beth Orton. One of the most electrifying, absolutely perfect albums I have listened to this year. The album is very long, so there are a few obvious fillers, but almost every track is beautiful and recommended. FCC CLEAN Disc 1: (1) Downtempo. Female spoken vocals and a melodic tune. Lovely but predictable. (2) Moody with dreamy female vocals. **(3) A swinging, slow bossa beat. Vocals more prominent. James Bond-esque. (4) Instrumental. Slow. **(5) Sweet loungey-house, think St. Germain. **(6) Mysterious. Chill-house. **(7) Breathy, downtempo. (8) Faster spy music, with horns. **(9) French vocals, dreamy, beautiful. (10) Carnival music, instrumental. Skippable. (11) Downtempo ballad. Disc 2: **(1) Original mix of Disc 1, (6). Space sound fx. Lovely, trip-hoppy. (2) Very chill dub. (3) French vocals, sad, lots of strings. ***(4) Faster, xylophone?, kinda funky. (5) Jazzy, horns, fast rhythm. (6) Remix of Disc 1, (3). (7) Instrumental. **(8) Slow trip-hop, childish voice. (9) Totally dub. Instrumental. (10) Slightly pointless instrumental sounds at best like a movie soundtrack. (11) Housed up version of disc 1, (11) though the original is better. |
