Thank you, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2!com. Okay, so, this is my first review for Amazon. . . so forgive me if this is a bit rambling:
I just discovered this band (and this album) after watching the 'Launch' trailer for a video game. This is not the first time I've discovered a band this way (These United States provided a fantastic track for the first 'Call of Juarez' trailer), but it's the first time I've tried downloading MP3s from Amazon. I must say, the ease of use and the power to use MP3s wherever I want make this so much nicer than trying to use the apple store and being forced to use certain hardware or software to move tracks where I want them.
About the music. . . what can I say? It's a bit of pop, a bit of trance, and a bit of I don't know what. Very mellow from what I've heard so far, but with a lovely voice and techno music that stays out of the singer's way. I like what I've heard, and I suggest you give it a listen. .
great CD
I now own all of their CD's. Recently I discovered this band through Pandora. A great band to say the least.
One of my faves...
Right now, Kosheen is my favorite band and for very good reason. This album is getting more plays at my house than anything else. Wish I could articulate better about this sound but whatever, just check it out. .
They only get better
There is not a bad song on the CD. I have owned the new album - Damage - for about a week now and it hasn't left my CD player except to go back to listening to the first two albums. I instantly had a regret that I did not shell out the money for the UK version which has two additional songs, but have since ordered it. The music is brilliant, as always, with that powerful upbeat feel layered over lyrically with angst ridden vocals. It certainly was worth the wait since the last release.
Superb...their best yet.
Damage, IMO, is their best effort to date as it combines the electronic/synth aspects of Resist and the darker guitar work of Kokopelli. Been a fan since Kosheen first appeared on the scene. The reality is that Kosheen write fantastic and hook-laden melodies. Their instrumentation is bright and lively and Sian Evans sings better than almost anyone out there. I've played Kosheen's music for friends and they are always turned on by the sound. This band is at the top of their game. Thanks Sian, Decoder and Substance for another fantastic piece of work.
