I'm not sure what other comments one can make about this track.

by Guest Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:37 pm

Not quite sure that one needed to be on t'album.

It is over.

Reminds me of that track on New Order's Brotherhood.

Is that before or after this? Who copied who? gossip

Done!

It is over.

It was very pleasant sounding but the tracks often seemed to be going round in circles and not going anywhere.

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

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Guest Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:39 pm

That was alright, I was surprised at too how much he moved with the times, which makes it dated, but sill better than simply churning out Oxygeen III or whateva.

**** From me.

by Butterfield Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:39 pm

Well, I enjoyed that a little more than I used to. Even the skippable tracks were a bit more interesting 20+ years later. I'm going to give it 4 out of 5. yes

There are some "lengthy" moments, but I think all of his work has those moments, only others sound less 80s and more 70s.

I think that's all he's done this side of the new millennium, if not the late 90s. sad yes

by Nightjar Mon Jan 25, 2021 7:45 pm

Erm, it was OK.

Very of it's time.

Not exactly to my taste, but arty enough.

Still, Wendy Carlos, Vangelis and Kraftwerk did it all better IMO.

Nonetheless, it'd be churlish to hate it.

Trois etoiles.

I once bought a Vangelis "best of" CD from a charity shop then noticed when I got it home that it was just other generic musicians playing Vangelis songs. bawl

So I broke up the case for spares and sent the disc back to the charity shop. evil2

Oooh!

....Oh. I hear familiar sounds.

Even the things in the video are based on this album cover:
