Wonky Album Review

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

It's interesting. I was just listening to the Lush 3 single the other day. Hadn't played it for a loooong time, and I was amazed how much the CJ Bolland remix (Lush 3.5) sounds like 808 State, specifically the opening notes. I'd been listening to 808 State earlier in the night and thought Pacific 707 had come on again for a minute!

Speaking of which, I have a spare copy of the Lush 3 CD single. I imagine most people on here probably already have one themselves, but if anyone's interested in trading anything or something, feel free to PM.

A favourable, if somewhat brief, review.

Short, sweet and to the point.

We are still waiting on the local reviews by the way....

I ran into a strange thing.
On the same day as the video on New France was released a child did lost his lion in our staircase :)

BTW, After I have listened to all three releases that have been made from Wonky I mus say that all three songs lift each other up in an interesting way. Each song itself is really good, but after listening to all three songs they have actually got even better

From that FMV review: "a taste of the dark experimentation seen on 2001’s The Altogether – an album that became known for its raw, challenging edge" - what?!

Yeah, I did a bit of a double-take there too.

Wheres your review then Shady?
...sounds like you are already familiar with the album, I think you'd be more than qualified to critique :P
I don't know you people...why are you here?
