To start the rocknroll
ball rolling, here is a
review
of
HIT
THE RIGHT BUTTON
by GEOFF
Now that I have had time to listen the new CD,
I can give an objective review.
It is ucking stunning. If anyone gives you a bad
review I will send round Lenny the bat. The whole
thing is great, Message, Blow It All Away, Wildlife,
Viva New York, Crool World, Whisky, A Hundred
Skeletons and Gotham City are real stand-out tracks.
There are times you do sound like Gary. What makes
these songs sound so great is the killer melody
they all have, and if there's one thing I like
it's a killer melody.
The one thing I did notice was the production,
the bottom end hits you in the gut and it has
that slightly dirty sound synonymous with analogue
LP's, but missing from a lot of digitally produced
rock music. So it's not just P F M and spaghetti
the Italians are good at. When Isabelle recorded
her vocal, did they forget to switch on her mike
or was it lost in the mix down? Give me a clue,
where is her vocal ?
(Response from Danny) She
does some of those really weird and wonderful
harmony vocals on Whisky (you may not be singling
them out, but if they weren't there you'd sure
notice!), which the italian boys are proving themselves
brilliant at reproducing live! I have to say,
I never thought I'd be in a band with someone
that can do harmonies as high as wot I can, and
even maybe higher!!!!!!!!!! (mostly Marco G.)
Danny, looking forward to seeing HMK live and
will buy you all a drink.
Excellent!!! Of course,
we never say no, and that's probably why we're
always in such trouble...but that's another story
and a very sad one. Hahahahahaha!!!!
Please do not make
this C D a one off, there must be lots of new material to come. Worth
doing a CD of the demo's for us anoraks. It
will NOT be a one-off!!! We already have plans for a live CD, which will
be cool, because then we'll have our new, dynamite versions of some of
the old bollocks, like Angel, Chelsea Kids, Delirious, Cops Are Coming
and maybe even some others (these are the ones we've already done live
and they sound potent!). We are also fooling around with a name for the
next studio one already too. So we need all the support we can gather
throughout the planet to make it happen. And we will. Fear not.
HMK lives -
Rock it - Geoff
Yeahhhh!!!!!!! Let's go!!!!!!!!
