There's attittude in the voice, not in the lazy bass and beats though. Quite like the ethereal vibes, I kind of want it to come out of its shell, killing the top end and making the beats more interesting.
- The sinister synths, the sub
- The pitchdown in the chorus; a gimmick, but I do like a gimmick
- Sonny's flow - somewhere between Dre, Eminem, Bone Thugz (that these can be identified is also a weakness, though)
- The restraint of the arrangement (not complex doesn't necessarily mean "lazy", though it of course could), the space on the clap.
- Gets in and out pretty briskly for a rap tune.
As boilerplate contemp. hip-hop goes, it could go less well. Though there've surely been more interesting performers called "Dizzy".
Drums work, as do the vox, but the actual chord selection/development is kinda boring, as opposed to hypnotic as per Krautrock exercises. Mission of Burma generally I've skipped in favour of Wire.
I was enjoying it more before the singing started to be honest, atmosphere-wise. The actual song when it arrived wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be, but it picked up again towards the end. Listened to it again and liked it a lot more second time around.
I've only ever heard Signals, Calls & Marches by Mission of Burma, and that was a bit more 'RAAARRRGGHHH' if I remember rightly, in comparison to this track anyway (I haven't listened to it in years).
7/10. I guess it makes more sense in the context of the album though.
Nice cover, it reminds me of my granddad's old gardening books from when I was little.
Quite like that guy, I'll check the tune at lunch. I have something I think is a lot better than my last effort, I'll not break the rules unless invited to though.
Yeah, there is another thread for just posting songs in willy-nilly. I agree with the Olster in that once I've posted one minimalistic post-punk type track I am then not going to wait a week and post another song from my library in here becuase seeds of my taste are probably easily extrapolated from what i've posted before.
This is fabulous. Â Make sure you listen to it all the way through because, as is the wont of Lights Out Asia tracks, they tend to completely change their spots half way through. Â This is called Spiti Elefas, and it's wonderful.
