Electronic music at its best!!! Catchy tunes, interesting proposal, definitely worth checking it out. I heard about this English trio for the first time on a video game soundtrack, and I immediately feel in love with it. Best songs: "Hide U", "Catch", "Hungry".
Electronic music at its best!!!
Catchy tunes, interesting proposal, definitely worth checking it out. I listened to this English trio's work on a FIFA videogame soundtrack for the first time, and I was immediately enchanted by it. Best songs: "Hide U", "Catch", "Hungry".
AMAZING!
But then a friend told me she was curious after listening to a bunch of breath-taking remixes from DJs like Satoshi ("Hungry", check it out if you have the chance). After hearing "Hide U" a couple of years ago, I must confess I wasn't really tempted to listen to the rest of the CD. So I got it from Amazon as a gift for her, and of course I could't resist giving it a try. OMG I was shocked since the very first time I played it.
It has a blend of different genres, so don't waste your time trying to figure out whether it's D&B or not. Just enjoy it! Each song has astonishing vocals which cannot be compared to any other singer (ok, some songs may remind you of EBTG but that's it!) Needless to say, I got a copy for myself and I'll get Kokopelli wishing it is as good as this =).
A Strange Diorama....
The melancholy of "Let Go" and the snarkiness of "Cruelty" transcend all music label genres of drum & bass, electronica, and intelligent pop. Starting with the intriguing title & cover image, followed by the stunning interior photos of stuffed creatures in nature dioramas, and rounded out by the static stones of sampling flowed over by the elastic voice of Bristol diva Sian Evans, Kosheen is an aural & visual experience not to be missed. It is the melodies that rule here, not the protools.
If you like Dido, Slowpho, Olive and especially Beth Gibbon's of Portishead's solo CD, "Out of Season," then you will love Kosheen.
You dont have it? GET IT!
Flying little higher at that time I was amazed. I saw the band at the festival in my homecountry. Next day I thought it might have been because of the THC in my blood so I pretty much forgot about the band. Now during visit in states I saw it in the store and bought it because of 'temporary homesickness'. And I can tell you their music is great whether you are high or not. Music makes you move but mainly the melodies just stick to your mind and ask for replay. My favourite songs are 2,3,4,6,7,8,11,12 and 1,5,9,10,13,14,15.
