Storming The Base Of
The Alien Foe on CKMS 100.3
(Ontario, Canada, radio station)
NOVELTY "Natural"
I like the sound of his
vocals from the start.. they're SO upfront in 'Things We
Do'.
'Paradise' got me right
away because of the chorus.. the tracked vocals are
extremely smooth (synthpop vocoder.. mm)! But I also like
the lower sung verse, not just doing the constant talking
and talking vocals that synthpop tends to do.
Heh. Another synthpop
voice that I like. Wait. I think I REALLY like this.
'Soul Of Mankind's chorus
has me, as well. It's the lack of overdosing on
daintiness, too.
Are those brooding synths
I hear in 'Natural'? I think that's a synthline I've
written, too. Heh. What an amazing song - though the
chorus never really kicks as powerfully as it should, and
it ends before it seems like it's over.
The club remix of
'Paradise' would have been great if they didn't just
sample the one or two lines from the song and used ALL
the vocals from it instead - I STILL don't know why that
is that people remove the vocals for dancier remixes?
Especially synthpop where it's not the vocals just
sucking and being better gone. Shrug.
