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!!!!!!!! |
