It`s a rainy
Sunday afternoon, you`re at the thrift store scoping out second hand CDs. You
find a sealed CD. What does it tell you? Here`s a couple of
theories:
A – It comes from
a bankrupt record store.
B – Someone stole
this and gave it to the store.
C – This is so
damned bad that no one bothered to open it. Instead of throwing it in the
garbage bin. The person felt like recycling this. One man`s garbage could be one
man`s treasure. A music philanthropist donated this CD.
Personally, I
remember Giorgio Moroder`s cool electro / ambient / disco soundtrack works:
Midnight Express (1978), Battlestar Galactica
(1978), American Gigolo (1980), Cat People (1982), Mamba
(1988), Fair Game (1988), and Another Way (1988). There`s some
guest singers on deja-vu: Sia, Charli XCX, Mikky
Ekko, Kylie Minogue, Matthew Koma, Britney
Spears, Foxes, Kelis and Marlene. It took me some
listening to `appreciate` this album. In life, nothing is totally good or bad.
Let`s find the good points and bad points, shall we.
Goodies;
good choice of singers, top-notch production, excellent electronic / disco /
synth-pop / dance music.
Badies:
generic and commercial. It sounds like your regular, flavor of the day, mass
produced electronic dance music. I tried but nothing works for me here. I`ll
stick to his old soundtracks.
