Your New Influences #1

Posted Wednesday July 2, 2008, 2:47 am, Over one day old
I suggest that musicians focus their attention on the arrangement of "Miss You Much" rather than Jackson's vocal performance or persona, but I would be remiss not to mention that her presence is essential to the success of the piece.

Your Fruit Is Slightly Bruised

Though Tricky is clearly still trying to find the perfect Martina Topley-Bird soundalike, the vocalists on the latter two tracks do well to avoid the sleepiness of previous faux-Martinas, and play up the tone of sassy defiance that made Topley-Bird so compelling in the first place.

The Cool Dawn Of A Soul

Seelenluft "La Concierge" - This arrangement starts off grounded with a firm dance beat that carries through much of the track, but as the song progresses, it eventually drops out, and the music begins to float away like a helium balloon. ( Click here to buy it from Juno.)

Hit The City Lights

The Dead Science "Monster Island Czars" - This is very unusual. The Dead Science are part prog, part modern classical, part no wave/noise rock. The singer not only sounds quite a bit like Craig Wedren from Shudder To Think, but Wedren actually has a guest appearance on the album.

Things Were Different Then, All Is Different Now

It's a lovely version of the song, though not quite everything it could have been. I'm pretty sure that there was one show in Canada where they played this, "Breath," "I Got Shit," "Not For You," and "Release" all in the same set, something that would've totally blown my mind when I was sixteen.

I'm Trying To Be Normal But There's Evil In My Head

Architecture In Helsinki "Hold Music (Max Tundra Remix)" - Given the explosion in remixing over the past decade, I reckon we're at the point where something like 98% of all remixes are totally unlistenable and awful. Max Tundra's Architecture In Helsinki remix is one of the 2% that get it right.

The Loud Proud Volume Freaks

Posted Monday June 23, 2008, 2:40 am, Over one day old
Sloan "Burn For It" - Patrick Pentland pulls off a neat trick here, and unless you're paying close attention, you don't really notice it: "Burn For It" moves laterally from hook to hook, and the song never doubles back on itself to repeat a section.

The relative terms: The majority of the oldies were played at their previous two MSG shows, but you know, fine, it's not like I don't love "Driver 8" or "Begin The Begin," I'd just much rather see them do "Feeling Gravity's Pull" or "I Believe."

Mixed Message Sending

Glam Chops "Tell Us, Are You Ready, Eddie? (Eddie, Are You Ready?)" - Following the apparent dissolution of Art Brut, Eddie Argos has re-emerged as the frontman of Glam Chops, a band that sounds more or less exactly like Art Brut, but with a horn section and back-up singers.
