mini reviews #4

fourth edition then and this one is long overdue and for this one i asked the person who was supposed to do volume three. she's been patient but i kept her in mind all this time so here goes. picking these ten tracks will be jamey tang, she's a fellow music enthusiast and spins some records on the side.

01. hamasaki ayumi - far away | todou
one of my favourite songs off the "duty" album.

02. dbridge - memory park | soundcloud
quite nice. the intro is lovely and the drumgroove, bassline and melodics are delightful.

03. nightwish - bye bye beautiful (orkidea remix) | soundcloud
i'd like this more without that plucked twinkly lead. it's quite on point without it.

04. lynx - disco dodo | youtube
i don't like this, it's too much of a gimmick and i think it should have been done at 135 bpm for a better result.

05. chapel of rest - the path (dub) | soundcloud (from 1:25:00 and onwards)
i think it's good, aaron curtis would later redo this track as mid atlantic science - the seventh day which is a fav of mine

06. the chemical brothers - hold tight london | youtube
it's quite nice and psychadelic. love the dubby effects but i think it would have been better without the drums.

07. misja helsloot - first second | youtube
it's ok, i may have liked this a a lot a few years ago but it does nothing for me now.

08. bt - memories in a sea of forgetfulness | youtube
it's very nice even though i think "the road to lostwithiel" is a stronger track.

09. yuck - rubber | youtube
this sounds a lot like kevin shields and it's very nice and druggy. very nice use of distortion.

10. the devlins - world outside | youtube
i like the bass but the rest of the song is just ok

thanks for those ten jamey. and as always i asked if she wanted to anything extra about her picks and her response was:

obviously, i like every track in this list, but i also tried to select tracks which i was interested in hearing what tony montana had to say about
