Listening statistics & highlights
I can absolutely see the attraction here. In 70's UK this must have sounded incredibly new and edgy. As it stands listening for the first time in 2023 it sounds needlessly edge-lord, shocking for the sake of shocking. Not gonna stay in my list
Kinda sounds like it was all home-produced. Three tracks in and there's nothing here really yet. OK, track 4 (sunrise) kinda bangs. Until it gets whiney. Am undoubtedly hearing a lot of Peter Hook on this and I'm not sure if I'm OK with that - the guy might be a great bassist but he's an absolute dick Serious bass drum on sub-culture but the whiney vocals and sense that this has been put together half-heartedly in a home studio really pushes through
Interesting to hear the blending old Big Band with R&B stuff. Decent throughout, sadly marred by the likes of Jools Holland pushing his honky tonk stylings on everyone.
