Phew - S/T (1981) [SAA Album Club discussion thread]

TockTockTock · 01-24-2011, 03:48 PM

I sort of agree with two people. I agree with Janszoon that it's difficult to name the year, but I also agree with Skaligojurah about the album just being okay and sort of poppy. I definitely find the album an interesting listen, but I don't love it. I do, however, think Fragment to be a GREAT track. I love the pulsing percussion (beeping?) in the background mixed with a very oriental-sounding vocals. Not to mention the avant-garde violin towards the middle of the song (but I'm a sucker when it comes to the violin). P-Acid is a neat track, too. It has a very huanting, psychedelic/industrial sound to it.

EDIT: I am also happy that Can helped with this album. Can is a great band (surprised none of their albums were suggested for this club).

Eh, there's a lot to suggest/cover. I have two albums in mind just behind the one I suggested to suggest when needed. So many great albums of this genre, and so little time!
