Reviews

Rated 4/10

*Moderate tempo and a few cool moments, but not for me

Rated 6/10

Not sure what to do with this one. Interesting in places, boring in others, liked it in places, skipped it in others. Nothing I’d come back for, but I’ll round up from my 2.5 because it kept me engaged.

Rated 6/10

this sounds like hangover after non alcoholic drinks

Rated 6/10

Düsterer Elektro‑Rock, starke Gäste, ein paar echte Höhepunkte – insgesamt solide, aber nicht durchgehend packend.

Rated 6/10

This was a little boring. Some really interesting sounds but definitely not at the level of Massive Attack or Primal Scream

Rated 6/10

Fellas, is it bad to tell your girl that you're a murderer?

Rated 6/10

Very, very hesitant. But there's some good on it. Kinda very forgettable at times though.

Rated 8/10

Never heard of this band, but this was a really nice surprise. Kind of psychedelic, soundscape-y, and utterly unique.

Rated 6/10

Aisha kinda brought it back but I'm not sure about this rating

Rated 6/10

I enjoyed this album well enough. It's electronic but there are other things going on and some pretty cool parts here and there. The songs are repetitive but they don't seem to drag on like a lot of electronic music does. There is some variance and some real instruments keeping things interesting throughout.
I don't think I'd listen to this again but I did appreciate what they did with this one and am glad to have heard it. 3/5

Rated 6/10

maybe 3.5, inconsequential but better than I remember

Rated 8/10

It's a shame how much people can't allow albums to be entirely of their time. Seems like music has to be up to date or from the 60s/70s or a copy of stuff from then.

I like how you can place this in the late 90s. Electronic but with guitars and that most 90s of 70s influences krautrock making itself apparent. You had to make use of multiple vocalists too. See also David Holmes and Unkle.

Rated 8/10

Better than remembered.

Rated 4/10

Didn’t do it for me. Electronic walks a fine line for me and this was in the wrong side of it.

Rated 4/10

I am a bit confused. I liked it, but it was a bit odd at times. But I liked it. It was pretty interesting. I can't really say more.

Rated 4/10

A vaguely familiar name. Music is alright, a bit monotonic and repetitive although, I feel some krautish influences which is always a plus for me, but so far after listening to the whole album nothing stood out too much, so maybe 2 or 3 stars at first glance.

Rated 6/10

This was fine. Most of it faded into the background, but it had some parts that I thought were cool.

Rated 6/10

While I know very well Scorpio Rising, I never took the time to listen to this album. It's a good old DJ / producer album in the trip hop genre like the 90s were able to produce. While it's a nice trip to memory lane, the album is not all that memorable.

Favorite Songs: Dirge ;
