MusicTimes August 2006 Mixtape Part Two
September 4th 2006 00:34
A little late, but here's part two:
Everyone's heard this song at least once, whether it be through Ministry of Sound, radio or some other means, but like all Swedish music its unescapable. The infectious pop of this song can get a little tiring after endless repetitions, but while it lasts, the song is great.
The first track off DJ Ryan Raddon's new album, the track is enjoyable, though not excellent. Reminds me of a Sting remix for some reason.
The remix totally transforms the song into something that is utterly unrecognisable from the original track. The song starts off almost like an R & B song, but the beat is infectious and, as slow as it is, almost danceable.
The original song is good enough, but the reworked acoustic version that appears on "Sacred Love" is pure genius. It lacks conventional timing and any of the musical techniques that the everyone has become numb to over the last half-century, so the song sounds slightly uncomfortable at first listening. But the acoustic guitar, which starts off jittery and slowly gains some imaginable form of timing, is an excellent example of Sting's ability to be totally original.
The song starts off sounding like Imogen Heap's Hide and Seek, before gaining pace into a heavy dance song. Like many dance songs, it can become a little tired at times, but it's still very listenable and one of the highlight's of Kaskade's album.

The last track off AAR's new album, the remixed version is extremely different, adding jazzy electronic piano while retaining some of the strings that make the song so emotional. While the remix has some weak bits, it's an excellent remix in the end, and one of the tracks that makes the "Snakes on a Plane Soundtrack" actually worthwhile.From "Snakes on a Plane"

I think the fact that everyone's 'gone that way' is a bit disappointing - they all sound the same!

In my opinion, the real worry is modern pop from the likes of Justin Timberlake and Nelly Furtado, but I'll leave that to its own post.
