It's even got the bored vocals of the Pet Shop Boys! gasp

Sounds like a text adventure game.

Like a cross between "Be My Wife" and "What in the World".

This is one of the better tracks.

Is this Sakka on vocals?

If so, his English is way way too accomplished to be charmingly naïve.

by Guest Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:37 pm

They never had the pounding drum machines, or precision percussion.

Track 9 - 前奏. Sly

by Nightjar Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:39 pm

It's that synth sound that sounds like when people try to make an embarrassing f*rt noise to break the ice when there's an uncomfortable silence.

by Nightjar Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:40 pm

Crikey.

That was dull.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:41 pm

Last track - 後奏.

by Nightjar Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:41 pm

It's all gone Industrial.

Metal on Metal by The KrÄftyverkZ.

by Guest Sun Aug 02, 2020 7:42 pm

The Kraftwerk Breathing noise off Tour de France (slowed down) and Tangerine Dream (Speeded up).

It is over.

It is over.

It was a decent album that suffered from too much repetition and a lack of human voices, at times.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 4 stars.

Well, that was initially interesting and quite impressive.

The weird and more-than-slightly uncanny Beatles parodic vocals on Track 1 were a genuine head turner.

Unfortunately it lost momentum and, by the second half, had seemingly run out of ideas.

Still, it weren't never bad, but...

BUT!

That Prologue/Epilogue/Prolapse at the end was really weak.

Perhaps I'm jaded.

Yes, I'm jaded.

That kind of gimmick might've worked in the '60s, but, c'mon maaaaaaan...

Really?

Wendi, you're an enigma wrapped inside a mystery inside a parkin inside an enigma inside an enormous slab of haslet. oh no

That's what Churchill said about Sheffield at the beginning of the Cold War. yes
