Various ArtistsMercedes Australian Fashion Week EQ/Stomp This is one very sexy album. I can almost see those broad-shouldered, undernourished bodies on the catwalk now. I'd better write a glowing review for Robots In Disguise's track DJ's Got A Gun for obvious reasons; you can almost feel the floorboards shake in that one. Malente sounds a lot like those Funk groups of the '70s except well mixed and compressed. We Came to Party is infectious and begs audience participation. Appreciate is the most generous view of lust I have ever encountered. Back To Basics has a guitar sample which could be played with a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier ( the 'Twin'). Skin Tight sounds like it could have Wah Wah Watson playing on it. The hip-hop/funk style of Bossa For The Devil works well, while Jeremy Joshua's track has a fat jazz guitar played with a little overdrive (probably the only use of distortion on the album). Some funky, mid-fretboard heroic guitar which isn't obscured by the keys is welcome relief to my piano-dominated life (Clap Your Hands), while the slapping bass and flute is entertaining too. The second half of the album seems to have deeper meaning to it, with Globalisation the theme of Nostalgia 77's track. Not at all bad for an album designed to accompany five days of catwalk-walking.  |
