ANOTHER CD REVIEW ~TEST.FIL~ ANOTHER CD REVIEW Just having read Slimer's Compact Mayhem (The Worst (C)), I decided it's time for a non-hardrock review, something I haven't seen for quite some time in any diskmag. It bores me like hell hearing people go totally wild about music I just can't get a hang of. In other words, hardrock bores me. That is not to say that others shouldn't like it, it's just my personal opinion. The Actual Review... ==================== LIVE AT LONDON (DJ Charly Lownoise & DJ Mental Theo) ==================================================== Some of you might have heard of these two deejay's because of their hard-core 12"es, or possibly from one of the Thunderdome compiles. This single CD is quite different from their older work, mixing dance, breakbeat, hard-core and live samples into one danceable track, which is included in two versions. The third track, called 'Can you feel it', is more like the old jobs they did. It's just that it's worse, it sucks and only seems to be there to fill up the disc. Forget it. The first version of 'Live at London' is the original mix. The beginning is a live sample of Lownoise talking to the public about an illegal drug (the word is... cocaine... what's the word?). Then the real fun starts, changing all the way until the end and never boring me, except maybe for the bit with the hard-core horns in it. The second version is mainly a remix, built up differently, starting off with a nice breakbeat. In my personal opinion, the second version is better than the first. But it's a matter of taste, as always with remixes. ------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY | Tracks included: Live at London (original) ---------- Live at London (remix) Music ranking: 82% Can you feel it Value for money: 75% (SINGLE CD) Price: 15 guilders (5 pounds) ------------------------------------------------------------ THE FEELING (DJ Duck & MC Goose) ============================================================ I should have known enough when I saw the artists' name, but as a faithful person I still decided to buy this 12" release. It was very cheap you know. The title was the only good thing about the record. I got feelings from this one allright, like wanting to vomit, picking my nose out of boredom or even wanting to boot up my ST (which is the one thing I REALLY don't want to do now I have the ladybird). But let's keep myself restricted to the review. The record starts off with a monotonic beat (176 BPM it said on the cover), which continues for over 20 minutes. Apart from this beat you sometimes hear samples from Amazing Discoveries, Jacques Brel records or some Heimatmelodie music. That's all there is to this 12". Period. It sucks. ------------------------------------------------------------ SUMMARY | Tracks included: The Feeling (part one) ---------- The Feeling (part two) Music ranking: 2% The Feeling (end) Value for money: 4% 12" Price: 6 guilders (2 pounds) ------------------------------------------------------------ ~RED.PAL~
