So boring I couldn't finish it.
Honestly don't know what this is trying to be. Managed half of it before giving up. Hope it's his only entry!
Jamais écouté avant. Top : Don't Die Just Yet Flop : Caddell Returns
Oh dear. That was a complete waste of time. What was the point to any of it and how did he get to make so many other albums??!!
No!
Very very bland. Not controversial or impactful, incredibly boring background lounge / shisha sounds.
Maybe this had more significance in 1997 back when electronic music was still in its infancy. But almost 30 years later these beats just feel empty. The skits don't feel like they really add anything either.
Monotonous beats for six minutes at a time felt like an eternity. For those who need something on in the background? Truly painful.
I got nothing against the album. It's mediocre at it's best. But more to the point: what the fuck is up with this author and adding crap electronica albums from the 90s? It's really annoying how much shit that doesnt matter and/or is bad is in here fron the electronic genre, which has some bangers, mind you. Instead, I have to shit through shit like this, because the author thinks he's a know-it-all prick
HH
Und man denkt " wann ist das Intro fertig?"
Reading a bit into the background of this album, looks like this album is in a very similar vein of 90s artists trying to push trippy club music towards a more "avant-garde" / storytelling perspective. Unfortunately, this album is essentially Endtroducing without all the elements that made Endtroducing such a compelling album. While Endtroducing sounds alive and interesting, I can't help but feel this album just sounds dead.
Dimery was delusional adding this to the list. Glad Holmes switched to scoring Soderbergh movies since he can get only ruin those only so much.
Nmg da slušam ova sranja ako nemam neku asocijaciju za tu pesmu, npr da je deo soundtrack-a nekog filma ili igrice ili čega god, ovako nije za go kurac.
Harsh-edged big beat / electronic built from distorted breakbeats, abrasive synth stabs, blown-out samples, and aggressively compressed textures, with vocals used more as chopped, shouted fragments than songs, moves like standing too close to a malfunctioning sound system—restless and confrontational, but so loud and abrasive that it actively strains the ears instead of pulling you in.
Really not my thing, not really into drums and base move music. Couldn’t even finish the album, it’s too repetitive and goes on too long, maybe if I was in a club it would be OK.
Not my thing. Good sounds but would never listen
So ein Mist! Elektroschrott! Weg damit!
Day775 - how did this flaming hot garbage make the list
I wish I was cool, so I could enjoy this album. But I did not enjoy this album, and I am not cool.
nope, didn't like this at all, very poor electronic pap
Please kill me.
Quite a talent to make an album this boring.
Was going to not rate it but ended up with 1 purely because its not that good.
It just keeps going (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Typically, I hold off from giving the boring electronica a 1 because I'm able to see why someone who's a fan of the genre might find it important, but I'm not holding off here. These beats aren't even all that impressive that they even come close to standing on their own, and the street interview interludes just don't do anywhere near enough to save it.
Not for me
The only album I didn't finish listening. The song are a single idea looped for way too long
terrible
Hard to like music that gives me a migraine
just a bunch of sounds put together, not for me. 01/09/2026
spotify recommended playlist is songs to test your speakers with. I don’t even know if i’d do that
When comparing this to the Fatboy Slim album I listened to last week, this pales in comparison. I liked that album, I didn’t love it, but I enjoyed the listening experience. This, not as much.
Not a fan AT ALL
It's like an album where the goal is to be so boring that I tune out the music.
Completely unremarkable
Eh, not engaging enough for me. Felt very performative.
Even as background music this is utter shite. It sounds like the sort of experimentation that would normally be abandoned on the way to producing a decent track, but for some reason, this is the entirety of this album. Dull beats, dull tracks that go nowhere, a random James Bond bit that adds nothing, just boring doodles slung together in some early DAW. I can see the "artist" went on to churn out dozens of movie soundtracks for what look to be pretty crappy movies. Seems like a good fit. I'm amazed that this was even released, it's just so bad. One star.
i saw all the reviews and i thought, this can't be that bad. it's not that its bad, its just mind numbingly dull and uninteresting. how the hell this ended up on this list is beyond me - surely there are better albums than this? stupid ass electronic slop
This isn’t something I would normally enjoy but I quite liked the first track My Mate Paul and was filled with cautious optimism. Unfortunately that was the highlight and the album slowly fell off a cliff after that.
👎🏻
electr., rap, rumba, 1997 -> 1
this was boring and trash
The most boring use of percussion-heavy music I've ever listened to. I don't hate the idea in theory, but it's so lazily executed that there's nothing to take away from this album. To say nothing of every song having the same tempo and structure
Really boring electronica.
I guess if you made techno in the 90's you're just automatically on this list or something.
Pretty horrible
Not for me
The last instrumental album was better
1.4 Meh
So boring
Not for me
Rubbish
<Michael_Scott_Shouting_No.gif>
Bad
Some people should follow their own advice before they make music
There really have to be better electronic albums from the UK un 1997 to include on this list. This was like a surface-level survey of all the popular music styles of the era without being deeply good at any of them. 1.5

This is quite possibly the most boring album I have ever listened to. I suppose it makes sense that he went into soundtrack work, the music disappears into the background and I guess it creates a mood (?) but it's not a particularly powerful one. Repetitive and dull.
Boring penis music
*1997. Northern Ireland - electronica, house, some hip hop elements. *Basically an hour of house music. *Not the worst thing ever, but not for me. *Long songs, and you can fast forward to the end and it still sounds the same. RATING - 4/10
Experimental not nice
Just background music
EDM, techno, electronica... whatever you want to call this crap. It's just disco with a new name. It's cheesy, it's overproduced, and it all sounds like menu selection music from fifth gen video games. AND THERE'S SO MUCH OF IT ON THIS LIST! 1 star.
1/10. No le pongo el 0 porque imagino que tiene que haber gente que escuche esto por gusto. Si te gustan los ruidos de palos que chocan, las canciones de menú de pausa del Tekken y la gente que habla en lugar de cantar, este es tu disco.
no comments
Irritatingly half-arsed and full. Too irritating even for background sounds. There's way better alternatives to choose from
Boring
This album wasn't for me at all. It has to much unexpected sounds and random talking and/or sounds throughout. I couldn't get in to it at all.
This is kinda bland and boring. I feel like it's not doing anything, like it's directionless. I'm not sure why this is an album one would have to hear before the die. While I tried to listen to this, I couldn't help but keep skipping songs. Maybe this is good but my untrained electronic ears just couldn't parse it out. But that's fine. Not gonna spin this one again.
If I could give zero stars I would
Ex...cruc...iat.....ing. "Let's Get Killed"? This album drained my will to live by track two
Never heard of him or this album, never seen this album cover in a record store, this came out in my music junkie heyday so there must be a reason I overlooked it. Apparently, based on listen counts, I wasn't the only one to miss it. Not a solid start with "Listen" & "My Mate Paul" back to back, both basic and boring. The title track sounds like background music from a B-Movie. The rest sounds like rough drafts or throwaway tracks from a real artist. "Rodney Yates" has 8M listens? For what?! Was it featured somewhere else? It's boring with no payoff. The filler 1 minute tracks in between songs offer zero value and don't tell a story from what I gather. Hodge podge of nonsensical beats. I cannot imagine who voted this album onto the list. It's crap. I'm struggling to give it 2 stars, I really can't, best I can do is 1.5.
Honestly, just not good
No thank you
Well what sort of UK specific bullshit is it this time? Ahh, the Ocean’s soundtrack guy. I remember this sound feeling played out by 1994 after US3 had their moment, even more so once Soderbergh set scenes to his work. It’s not bad, his technical skills and sourcing are impressive, but the end result is, well, hotel lobby music.
Biggest load of crap I've ever heard. If this is what some people call music, then either their hearing is shot to shit. Or they're family and friends of David Holmes. It deserves a zero!
Really bad
Nope. Triphop.
Bah
This sucked
Is it too much to ask that these albums contain music?
I know I said 1997 was a great year for music... but this isn't one of the all time albums. Generic, OG Gran Tourismo style music.
I kept waiting for some kind of drop, for this to get better and cool. I'm still waiting.
yet another monotonous and teeth grinding 90s electronica album that its self indulgent artist decided simply had to be an hour long. what a waste of a very funny album title
I have no idea what I am listening to. It is insanely repetitive. This reminds me of a day I was watching television and there was this abrupt intermission. "We will be back shortly" and played this type of music again for an hour. Not my cup of tea. I really did not get the concept. 1
Not good at all
This is the 160th album I’m rating. I don't even know what to think. The cover, the title, and the artist isn't telling me anything. Adding to my Playlist - My Mate Paul, Gritty Shaker, Head Rush on Lafayette, and Radio 7. Not Adding to my Playlist - Listen, Let's get Killed, Rodney Yates, The Parcus & Madder Show, Slashers Revenge, Freaknik, Caddell Returns, Don't Die just yet, and For You. My Mate Paul - Usually I don't like super repetitive stuff but I might be in a repetitive mood today or David Holmes is really really good. All in all I liked 4/13 songs. Surprisingly good for such a repetitive album.
My cat dies AND I get stuck with this pointless turd of an album? What a shit day.
Let’s get Killed? Yes please, if it means I never have to listen to this crap again. This album is so boring I wish I could rate it 0 stars. This guy really created four bars of melody per song and hit repeat. The only upside is that the album is so boring that have already forgotten what the songs sound like This is the first album I have truely struggled to listen to, I was painfully aware of how long the songs were and I was literally counting down the seconds till the songs finished. Fave songs: Listen (it’s the shortest), For You (finally the album ends)
Un intero album da DJ... Non ce la posso fare
I'm not the target audience for this album.
WTF
Terrible, boring, sounded like background music for a bad action movie.
every song sounds like the first 10 seconds start of a rap song where they're kinda just introducing the beat..... but it then doesn't go anywhere :(
Only listened to the first 3 songs and that was more than enough
Another terrible Electronica album
Seek professional help.
crazy boring electronic music holy balls had to skip
p804. 1997. 1 star. Tedious background music/samples with no redeeming features. WTF is this even doing on the list?
Did not feel I needed to listen to this for any reason before I died. Incredibly Dull, no redeeming qualities in my opinion. Can't wait for the next terrible 90's electronica album I can give 1 Star.
If I had a physical copy of this album, I think I could sell the plastic of the CD and the booklet sheets to buy a useful plastic bag.
Why is there so much wannabe film music on this list. At least put an actual film score like Lord of the rings on it rather than this slop. Annoyingly bad.
Sampling radio and adding 90s breakbeat is cool yall. I was so happy when it ended.
passed me by as background music in the main. Not offensive but not engagingat all.
No.
no thanks
why
To me this was just background noise. No clue how this could be considered a must listen before you die.
Insanely boring, overly repetitive beats. I can'T believe this album made it here.
This album makes me want to kill myself.
Listening to this again would lead me to madness and despair.
This isn't a quintessential 1 star that makes me want to peel my ears off. I just... don't get it? It's a spy movie? Set in inner-city New York? I respect movie scores a ton, but where's the movie? I can't will myself to listen to this again, and it's lazy to bait it as EDM, or really anything other than garbage.
This is just unpleasant noises strung together without being melodic. It’s so bad it could be used to keep birds off a building.
From the intro I hated it
I do not need this in my music life.
Nothing about this grabbed me. It was just meh
Only good part is the James Bond theme.
I didn't like it at all. It sucks
bad
I could review this album, but I would just be repeating myself, yet again, about how repetitive, uninteresting and directionless this type of music truly is. And then I would be no better than this album.
Nur instrumentaler Funk. Hab's nicht zu Ende gehört.
Boring - doesn't ruin my day since it's background music but I had to listen to THIS before I died?
Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music. Thou shall not make repetitive generic music.
If I was feeling rude, I’d say, “What is this shit?” Radio, traffic noise, repetitive drum codas, puleeze… 1/5
Pre-listening tracks: never a good sign when an album’s first track is called Listen. Girl are you begging me to listen cause now I’m skeptical Post/during listening thoughts: yawwnnnnn okay whatever. This is like barely music. An album full of GarageBand templates and loading screens 2/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no Fav tracks: ??? Half of this was literally talking like Least fav tracks: I didn’t really like any of it
Annoying new-funk jazzy vibes. Not my type of music
Zusammenhang- und belanglos.
No.
Not my thing 🤐
This is pure dross with no redeeming features. I don’t know who David Holmes is, but as a piece of music in isolation it’s not one that deserves to be remembered. Onto the next album please.
how could anyone think Brit DJ music was important enough for this many albums? feels like a prank. get killed, list.
Yes let’s
Yeah, im the target audience for this and even i thought it was rubbish. It doesnt really go anywhere, do anything or have much merit. Should have been a car advert soundtrack
Ein wilder Mix, für mich nicht das richtige. 1/5
I like to take a look at the history of an album while I listen to it, especially to find out why it was included on this list. For this album, I saw a lot of references to the "cinematic quality" of this album. Apparently, David Holmes has gone on to compose a lot of music for movies, hence why it's important in retrospect to look at these reviews. The problem is, that's kind of like saying "this music belongs in the background". Calling music cinematic is like saying, there's no purpose to this music outside of what it could provide to a visual scene. Imagine all the famous pieces of movie music you know. Some absolutely wonderful, amazing pieces. The star wars theme for example. Now, take them out of that context. Would they be good? For sure. But would they be as famous, or would they be AS good without the context of the movie? No. Because music made for cinema is made to not be actively consumed, so to speak. It is not the focus, it is there to enhance. Two parts combine to make a greater whole. Without it, without any vision, the music is rendered meaningless. It honestly makes the album somewhat, for lack of a better term, offensive to the sensibilities. I'm sure this would work really well if someone made a super cheesy and very late for the cultural moment version of Do The Right Thing, or a really lame and unfunny version of Friday (since, due to the samples, it sounds a lot like white people hip hop, where we remove all the swing and interesting rhythmic qualities). There is nothing stand out about it, and it really makes me wonder why it was included on the list, since it doesn't seem to have been inspirational or really culturally relevant. Furthermore, imagine you took someone who was a complete blank slate to any form of digital/electronic music. They've purely been listening to bands with instruments for 20 years and had no idea you could even use computers to put together music, or sample, or anything like that. This would instantly turn them off of said music, and probably give them a, in their eyes, completely justified strong anti-sampling view. Every song takes one or two main samples, poorly removes anything interesting from them, loops 2-5 seconds of it, and that is put over the WHOLE ENTIRE SONG, basically the foundation. Then some even shorter samples are thrown in to create the sense of progression, even though it's not there. Even I have made similar sounding songs, except I would never think to release them because they sound amateurish and terrible, because I'm an amateur beginner. Honestly, I am not one to generally hate music. I welcome all types that aren't modern pop country. I didn't even give one star to Bjork, and I hate Bjork's music with a dying passion. I was going to give this three stars when first listening to the first three songs. Then it dropped to a two throughout the album. Then I went back and listened again, and it just became even more offensive. That's why this album is getting a 1. Further listens just really drives home that there's is basically absolutely nothing here. It's filler commercial music, put to an album. It's basic copyright free youtube music, that creators never pick because it's just too obviously copyright free music, due to its lack of musicianship, interesting ideas, general melody, and the complete monotony and reptiveness of it all.
This felt like a remix of elevator music. 1.3
Well, that was something.
Thoughts before listening: Never heard of David Holmes, and I do not recognize this cover. I'm going to guess its British and either lo-fi indie folk or some sort of electronic music. Review: Its British electronic music...and pretty boring electronic music in my opinion. This just isn't a genre that I get very excited about, especially when its more an album of beats than actual songs. I'm just not hearing much here that rises above background music. 1-star for me.
Interesting, yet very boring. Great background music for a cocktail bar. Otherwise not listenable. 😴
Niet best, vond het soms irritant en soms heel matig.
Go ahead Dave,I'll catch up later
Oh look! It's another British DJ. Another. After another. How many is there on this list? It's just some electronic music. 1.5/5.
It has a few moments that aren't too bad but ultimately I found myself hating this.
Why is this on the list? Why should it be anywhere? "Let's Get Killed"? Sure, David, I would rather go ahead and try to do that before I listen to some of your music ever again.
What an absolutely brutal stretch we've been on. I couldn’t even finish this.
its not even music, its pure garbage
Absolute trash. 1/5
Not sure about this one.
Nah. Trying way to hard to be edgy. Shit is repetitive and boring.
Nope.
More like Let's Get Bored.
Paused listening!!! I'm starting Back today!!!!
Biitti soi. Välissä pölistään jotain.
No Thanks
Sounds like the interstitials that play between ads on Tubi. Somehow the use of “on the street” recordings of black folks in NYC by this little British white boy feels exploitative to me. Absolutely no reason to be here.
"Let's Get Killed" is remarkably self-indulgent
Very basic
Horrible
Not for me. Don't see the point.
Boring
Like a bad score from a crappy video game circa 2002.
No music, just noise
Knob twiddling - not my thing
"Cause, if you can't dance, can't release - This energy!" If by this energy you mean soulless, bland, boring noise, yeah you right then. I would love to hear someone attempt to justfiy this albums placement in a list of 1001 albums you MUST hear before you die. If you like this, that's dope. But how can it be on this list? Fav songs: - Don't Die Just Yet
Painfully stupid
Oh, great, more electronica. The title of this album is apt because my first thought was, fucking kill me. "Gritty Shaker" sounds like it should be a Tracy Morgan sketch. Did the dude spitting bars on "Head Rush on Lafayette" get paid for it? Cause David Holmes being credited as the "lyricist" on all these tracks for recording random people is ridiculous. The Bond song remix, Radio 7, started out with some promise, and then around 2:30 they had to ruin it with obnoxious feedback sounds. It also didn't need to be almost 6 minutes long. Don't Die Just Yet was actually kind of cool. It was an actual song. I couldn't really pay attention to the rest. Boring. 1/5
really did not like.
I have no idea what this is. It's boring and pointless.
This was fine. Inoffensive. If you’d told me it was the soundtrack to a B+ early Noughties thriller, I’d have believed you. It passed the time while I did a bit of work admin. Gritty Shaker, Rodney Yates and Don’t Die Just Yet, mainly because they draw on music I like for influences, 70s soul, funk and lounge music. This feels like his version of the weird deep cuts he curated on Come Get It… but watered down. It occasionally wanders into bland or shamelessly derivative territory, but Radio 7 gave me proximity mines in the complex nostalgia, so I largely forgave it. Reading about it, though well received at the time, it didn’t top any polls in dance music magazines, I don’t feel like it’s grown in stature, so why is it here? An odd choice, but not one that annoyed me.
I remember some of these being big hits at the time. On the whole it doesn't sound very groundbreaking or unique compared to other similar artists at the time like Fatboy Slim, Moby, Basement Jaxx, etc.
Someone might light monotonous techno music. It’s not me.
It’s fine, I guess. It was very much background music and I have a difficult time rationalizing how this is on a list of essential recordings.
Very chill and quite nice
RØVkedeligt og monotont! En af de værste vi har haft. Extremt uessentielt at have den på listen
Nah.
Got through 3 songs & quit.
Yea, I'm never going to excited see an Electronica album. I listened through but couldn't make it through a follow up listen . Just not for me. Thought was OK at times, but that's just because it's better than sitting in silence. 1.5
Very far background for me.... guess I need more musical value these days. I got very bored in no time. Could've been at any mall for all I could tell. Speak to me, David.... or at least sing a little.....
Some what of a fitting title, as 20 mins into it, I was wishing someone would kill me. I don't think it's the worst thing I've listened to on this list, but it's top 5. Electronic waffle, which has the same beat playing for 8 mins. It's really terrible, and I turned it off after 30 mins as that was all I could endure
Woah, two one stars in a row. This is so boring I forgot about once in the morning when I turned it off and forgot it was on and once when I had to finish it in the afternoon and forgot I had it until I went on Spotify to do something else. Also, as other reviews have said, it’s really bad how the guy is Irish but there’s a ton of New Yorkers talking about his street cred. Also, the guy screaming about not being able to release his energy before a song that you wouldn’t be able to release energy to even if you were dancing because of how slow it was was just kind of pitiful.
Terrible and boring
How the hell did this album make it on this list? Sounds like a soundtrack to a shitty 90s action movie. Really hard to get through and mostly boring.
what was the point of that? overlong rambling vocals followed by looped samples. Actively annoyed me.
A little bit long winded, not so much exiting, could be anyone.
I guess this type of electronic music is more prominent than I thought, but I still don't get the appeal. It's so repetitive and all I could do is just zone out
Techno just is not my thing.
I can't get behind these electronica albums
No thanks. I don't want to listen to this. I read the reviews before calling it quits... based on that I skipped ahead to Freaknik (seems to be a love/hate track). I found that I was relieved to finally hear a person in what otherwise feels like a desert of monotonous machine beeps, but otherwise it continues with monotony and so I called it quits.
excruciating
Mundane, unimaginative, boring, repetitive beats. Nothing redeeming whatsoever.
While this is technically an album, and the contents of this album can technically be categorized as music, it is certainly not the type of music one listens to, much less needs to listen to. At best it's the type of music that plays in the background of a shitty racing game. Bland, boring, generic beats interspersed with pointless conversation samples. Having this on the list is a massive insult to all the great music that was left off.
David you're not Godspeed You Black Emperor, no one cares about your shitty street interviews
What an utter pile of faff and tosh. Be better Dave, this bored the bleeding pants off me.
Ik snap dat dit hoogstens goede muziek kan zijn om je op te concentreren, maar dat kun je ook met rechtenvrije loungemuziek, of zelfs AI-generated shit. Wat dit dan op een lijst als deze doet is mij een raadsel. Het heeft niks, echt niks. Normaal geef ik alleen 1 sterren aan onluisterbare dingen en dat is dit niet, maar bij gebrek aan andere selling points krijgt dit gewoon een 1.
Ik apprecieer de vibe, maar de meeste liedjes komen minder goed binnen Gritty shaker wel Hiphop influences wel leuk Het James bond nummer is cringe Sleept toch wel te lang aan, dit ga ik niet meer het beluisteren 1 ster
Title is apt because I am dead (of boredom)
Just a bunch of noise with long songs.
Vaag
This is a pretty dull album in my opinion. Only track that I kind of liked was Don't Die Just Yet.
Did not like
My idea of hell. Repetitive sounds made by machines with little artistic merit. Anyone with a synth/sampler and drum machine could do this. Four bar repeats with nothing, but nothing happening. Make this stop
Meh
Nope! I thought I’d gotten the end of shitty electronic music purgatory with this project but apparently not. This sucks and I hate it.
Cuando escuché el segundo tema pensé que me iba a gustar. No es lo mío.
So fucking boring
1 whatever
Not sure what I listened to here, reminded me of the music behind the bits in heist films where they explain how they'll nick the stuff, or the music on the home screen when you first turn on a hotel telly. Basically music designed to be in the background and make the atmosphere vaguely positive. Which is fine but not really essential listening. The bond theme thing was also pointless. Not for me.
Barely listenable. It sounds incredibly amateur and scattered. Too many ideas, and very poor execution. A real trial to listen to, I have to admit I listened to the first minute or so of each song before giving my opinion. Dismal.
I did not like this album, felt quite monotonous and just doesn't go anywhere interesting. I particularly disliked Let's Get Killed that goes on forever with some stupid talking about beating some guy up. However Freaknik tops this with some guy shouting about releasing energy and then the worst electronic music ever follows it. "Radio 7" sampling the James Bond theme starts well but he doesn't do anything remotely compelling with it. Giving this 1 star feels to generous.
By the time I gave up on this album just over halfway through I wished I was, in fact, killed. I couldnt even make it through the title track and only survived past the weird James Bond cover because of the sorta okay Rodney yates song. This is the kind of electronica I despise.
If boredom could kill
Oh good another boring electronica album. Why does this list have so much electronica in it?
This is the worst album on this list. 1 star for the excellent use of bad language at the start of every track.
Even by monotonous DJ standards this is bad. Most of the time I understand why people would listen to it and that its just not my genre. But this was another level of boring. The songs have no escalation or build. They don't change at all. It's literally a 30 second song then play it on loop for 5-7 minutes. If that 30 second loop is a bop then maybe you can pull it off but David was unable to do that
Listened to this about 3 hours ago, already forgot almost everything. Just a completely forgettable and boring album.
Repetitive trash Electronica
Nope. Sorry. I just can't get my work week started with this.
1/5
Det är inte riktigt den koppen av te jag njuter mest av. Direkt när jag slår igång och albumets 40 sekunders långa introspår glider över till den första låten reagerar jag på två saker: 1. En magkänsla av att det kommer vara ett svårtuggat album. 2. Det känns som om jag hört detta förut? Jag tror nämligen att jag gjort ett försök på Let's Get Killed tidigare men att jag avslutat innan jag hade tagit mig över mållinjen. Det låter heller inte helt osannolikt med tanke på att samma känsla kom över mig i slutet av tredje låten denna gång. Det kommer nog ta några etapper för mig att komma igenom detta.... Jag tog mig vidare. Denna session av albumet var inte alls så ansträngande som den första, det ska sägas. Men det var fortfarande mer en känsla av att jag inte störde mig på det, än att jag gick igång på det. Vilket måste anses som ett relativt svagt betyg och det kommer förmodligen inte lyssnas särskilt intensivt på David Holmes i framtiden. Bäst: Andra sittningen av lyssning.
I feel nothing 1/5
I had absolutely 0 investment in this very 90's electronica record. 'Radio 7' piqued my interest, but that's probably only because I adore the James Bond theme. I don't know, I guess I like my electronica either more melodically or danceable than this. Maybe it works better as a soundtrack - I enjoyed Holmes' work on the 'Hunger' film.
There’s electronica that’s for me. Then there’s electronica I don’t care for. And then there’s this. Am I simply not fashionable enough to understand this? I almost skipped “My Mate Paul” when I checked the playtime for the third time and realized I still had 2 minutes 30 to go. As background music at a trendy NYC club this would probably be fire. But at home this gets really tedious, really fast. Put it in a movie and count me in.
I did like this one better than the Fatboy Slim record. The best track is the James Bond remix. That song works because (a) it adds drums to James Bond, and drums almost always make things without them better (b) anyone who knows the song already knows what it's building up to, so there's the pleasure of anticipation. Mr. Holmes just deserves very little of the credit for that track relative to the composer of the Bond theme.
Too long and boring.
No edm
Terrible
Muito chato.
This was decidedly not for me. Entirely too long and nothing really impressed me
