I picked up these 2 last night


Air - Le Voyage Dans La Lune

This album serves as both a soundtrack and the inspired results to Georges Melies 1902 film of the same name. The Smashing Pumpkins also drew direct inspiration from the film for their Tonight,Tonight video back in the day. The album is good but it feels a bit darker than other Air releases, I'm not sure if it's a due to being a soundtrack first and foremost or because they've got a new drummer on this disc. There are a lot of points on the disc where I get a classic trip hop feel like old Portishead or Hooverphonic. I wouldn't call it essential listening but it's most definitely worth it to anyone who enjoys their chilled out style.



Mogwai - Earth Division EP

The first two tracks are a lot softer and mellower than what I expected, especially with the clean vocals. The 3rd track 'Drunk and Crazy' is classic Mogwai with excessive effect use colouring every last aspect of the track the latter half of the piece really stretches itself out and stands as a highlight for the disc. For the most part this EP sounds like leftovers from Mr. Beast. Just like the Air disc, it's not essential listening but hardly disappointing either.

Sounds cool! Is it really short or something? That movie is only about 15 minutes long from what I remember.

Nope it's a full length album, they just expand some themes to full songs, there's also a special edition with a dvd copy of the film (just shy of 17 minutes actually).

How would you rate that? The original Let It Be is pretty sub-par by Beatles standards. I've been wondering if Naked is better.

The album cover is awful. I expect the music will be better.

Howard the Duck

crap

all the jokey spoken stuff has been taken out

"Dig It" and "Maggie Mae" has been replaced by "Don't Let Me Down", which I already have

the guitar solo on "Let It Be" is worse, and the coda to "Get Back" is entirely omitted

to worsen the insults, i prefer the orchestral version of "The Long and Winding Road"

only good thing - "Across the Universe" in its proper speed and pitch, although I miss the "a-ha-a-uh" in the chorus

the original "Let It Be" I thought was good

also:- due to me enjoying Bootsy's Rubber Band so much, I got:
