I've begun to regret wasting $17 on the piece of trite of an album.
"Timeless," albeit is a bit on the light side of the whole "drum'n'bass"
kick, is lightyears ahead, imo. Still very enjoyable by me.
As for Saturn.. That's a different story.
The first CD is *totally* throw-away music. Track one is a 60 minute
tribute to his mother.. 5 minutes of which are non-repetitive to a *slight*
degree (when he brings in the breakbeats.. 25 or so minutes into the song,
at least). The second track is pretty much a poor attempt at ambient music
with R&B vocals.
Disc 2... Slightly less bland. "Digital" is an alright track. Nice bass;
generic breakbeats, but you don't notice it as much due to the layering and
KRS-ONE's vocals (which aren't half as good as KRS's solo stuff, imo-- Get
his "I Got Next" LP if you're interested in more of him.). "Chico: Death of
a Rockstar" and "Temper Temper" are the only other 2 songs on the double-LP
which I can listen to.. The rest is genero-jungle, increbily repetative
R&B, or pseudo-ambience.
Goldie could've done *a lot* better.
Hell, *I* could've done a lot better.
I think I have, in fact...
