| Press reviews: RedStorm
is one of the most refreshing groups I've heard in a while! His music is
like a hybrid of the forefathers of techno, like Kraftwerk, pop idols of
the 80's, like Duran Duran, and more recent Erasure or Midi Rain. The style
of the tracks vary quite a bit, from tracks that could only be described
as 4/4disco, complete with the octave bassline riff, to totally tripped
out tracks using bizarre vocal tricks I haven't even ever heard before.
One song in particular,entitled 'Space', totally rips - a solid 9.5 on my
scale! A straight ahead 4/4 beat,but with really wild pitch bent vocals,
and nice light piano and string sounds. While all of the songs tend to have
a minimalistic feel, it's more by the choices of sounds and EQ'ing, than
by the more common lack of any real content; one of the few times I have
felt that a minimalistic approach really worked. Reference: http://www.analogx.com/contents/reviews/music/redstorm.htm |
