Madness & Me - Album Review

memly · Post by **memly** » Thu Apr 05, 2007 10:38 pm

So for those of you who have heard it. What are your thoughts?

As a body of work, I am really impressed. The production is rather slick, there does seem to be a certain sound that links the tunes that is far enough removed from the Orbital sound to be fresh and original.

I am loving the artwork. The cover is great!

My initial thoughts are how impressive the production is, the clarity of the percussion and the lead synths are incredible.
The bottom end too is warm and inviting.
Nice subtle melodies that keep the tracks interesting.

"Run with the Rain" is definately floating my boat. Great vocals and a suberb build to a bleeptastic melody.

This will album will certainly be playing through my speakers a lot this spring...

I just got my Japanese import today, and after just one listen, I am in love. I wonder if Paul can top this?

Hmm contraversial topic pitting one brothers work against the others....

I already have made my decision on that issue....
