Rad StuffThose familiar with the jazzy riffs and scapes in Meat Beat Manifesto's music may be surprised and pleased to find that Jack Dangers himself either did or could have played these himself. Jack plays several instruments in this retro-jazzy album, and plays them well. The effect is somewhat like a '70s movie score, with current embellishments. That is-- it is very cool. Definitely a must for fans of Meat Beat and recommended for fans of retro and jazz music, too!Not the "visual noise" I had hoped for !Too jazzy in some parts and too much flute in other parts.It has its moments but all in all wait and buy it used or when comes way down price. I'm glad I got a good deal on it on half.com because it not worth paying $13 and up for it.Better luck (I really hope) next time Jack !GreatAs always, Jack totally reinvents himself with each release and makes an album that only he can make. With a mixture jazz and electro sensabilties, "At The Center" may be a suprise to his fans used to the techno industrial sounds of the past 16 years, but in the end, it rewards greatly. Surely not one to miss if you think Jack as much of a musical genius as the rest of us do. However, As Subliminal Sandwich notes, I suggest you "play twice before listening."
My only complaint is that, once again, Jack's vocals are absent. Please bring your singing back, Jack!
Otherwise, this is a treat for your ears. |
