The Rapture - Tapes Reviewed by Sadie O., 11/29/08 One long disco mixtape with some fun funk, hip hop, and serious disco in the early tracks. All tracks run together. Tracks 14-16 all the same instrumental with slightly different kinds of electronics. By the end I had a bad headache from the hour-plus of disco/club beat, but if you take it in shorter doses or with the proper drugs, it’s terrific fun. FCCs on track 2 (damn you, Ghost!) Tracks 3, 4 and 21 KILL. 1. 0:32 shakers and rumbles, electric guitar 2. 3:02 FCCs: “shit”, “fuck” **repeated Blaxploitation funk guitar line, Ghost vocals. Gets a great funky beat at end. 3. 3:19 ****funky percussion, old school groove with female chorus, male rap. 4. 3:34 ****slow 70’s-style funk, heavy and KILLER. Why have the Bar-Kay’s been hiding for so long? These guys used to back Otis! 5. 3:30 ***disco! Yay! Disco! Yay! Get your Gay on and head for GG park on Sunday! (Seriously, this is awesome…) 6. 3:04 ***disco with chimes, blats. Instrumental, fun. 7. 2:46 **uptempo simple disco beat, female recitation of native tribes – very goofy. I could see Lucille Ball acting out to this. 8. 2:21 ***piano-based uptempo orchestral disco instrumental, really well done. 9. 2:47 **uptempo disco with serious bass, female vocals, apparently about the mile-high club… 10. 2:36 ***uptempo makossa groove with disco backbeat, lots of percussion, instrumental. Production goes back and forth between murky and sharp, for some reason. 11. 4:59 *uptempo bass-driven disco, drum and bass with smooth groove keyboards. Very repetitive, with sole word “passion” slinking in occasionally. 12. 3:38 **same beat, male soul vocals, very Prince-y. Mostly beat and percussion. Suddenly goes full-on disco mid-track. 13. 3:04 ***uptempo dance beat with blats and wheezes and no bass. Female soul vocals. Surprisingly groovy. 14. 4:42 ***beats ‘n’ blats. Now shake it, dammit! Instrumental, builds. 15. 2:57 **marching drums and squeepy electronic intrumental. 16. 1:32 **beats and squomps, mostly instrumental, until falsetto vocal line repeats. 17. 4:53 ***beat and vocal line continues, but builds with bass blats, gets seriously club. 18. 1:29 *goofy electronics 19. 4:17 **uptempo club beat with piano and vocals just saying “down”, rather jazzy in tone, repetitious. 20. 3:17 ***club beat, spacey electronics, bits of apparent sci-fi dialog. 21. 5:02 ****uptempo piano chords, Isaac Hayes feel, Richie Havens singing, even sax. Nice! 22. 6:23 **uptempo club beat with squeeps and piano chords, both laid-back and urgent. Moments of almost churchical solo piano. LOOOONG fade. | ||
