Love or Hate?

Jade_City · 05-10-2015, 09:25 AM

It's a rather rare album, if you can't find it online or something just let me know and I'll provide another album you can look at or something.

Cane and Able - Cane and Able (1972)

I really like it personally. Contemporary Pop/R&B EP by the all grown up teen sensation. She covers Phil Collins and, from what I gather, you're a fan.

lmao you like JoJo

There's no comparison man! Living Colour was a rock out, mostly uptempo album with some rap overtones. This is almost orchestral/classical with bit of ambient and touches of prog metal. Nothing like each other!

Title: The visions will return
Artiste: The Deaf Aids (Plainview)
Genre: Electronic

Love
1. Nice swirly spacey synth sound (love that alliteration!) in “River through the universe” --- cool title too.
2. “The celestial waiting room”. The piano is beautiful, the ambience nice, but PV seems determined to throw in some off-putting dissonance sounds that ruins it, and threatens to have this moved to the “Hate” pile...

3. “If you could be born again” has a nice feel to it
4. The organ in “Milk of Paradise” is nice

Hate
1. That bloody klaxon thing that keeps going on through the first two tracks
2. “Lairy musings of a mental mind”. Sorry, Frown will probably love it but it's too confused and chaotic (or seems so) to me. Trying to squeeze too much into a small space?
3. The sudden ending on “The afterlife forecast”

4. To be honest, though I don't know this music and am very unfamiliar with what is acceptable in it, I find (and I hope you don't take offence) that Plainview is trying to pile too much into every track, usually, and for me it just ends up being very hard to really enjoy the music as you're constantly assaulted by sound contrasting with sound. Who said Zappa?

A good example, as above, is “Celestial waiting room”, which would have been fine with the piano and strings, but he had to jam in other dissonant effects and sounds. I guess that's how he works and how he makes his music but it is not for me.

End result: Not something I would necessarily avoid, but nothing I would be really interested in hearing again.

So, Love or Hate? I think it comes down more on the side of Hate, unfortunately.

Title: Light and magic
Artiste: Ladytron
Genre: Electronica/Synthpop

Love
1. “Seventeen”. Very catchy, like the vocal.
2. “Turn it on” is great too
3. “Bluejeans” has a great vibe and melody
4. Really like “Evil too”. Seems there may be two singers who take turns, and I definitely prefer one to the other.
5. Love “Startup crime”, though I know the melody is ripped off from some famous song, just can't think of it.

Hate
1. “Flicking your switch”: no emotion in the vocal and it's just soulless
2. “NoHorizons” is awful, plus it's in a foreign language. Sounds like Russian maybe?

End result: I think I'm starting to turn into a synthpop fancier! I really enjoyed this, apart from the odd track.

So, Love or Hate? Love, definitely.

I'm pretty sure I listened to this. I remember being impressed. I'll have to check back. I think it was for "Under Trollheart's tree" at Christmas?

Sounds like the sort of stuff I'll hate. I'll give it a go.
