Kurt,
I have to agree with you here. I was extremely disappointed especially
when only having heard, "around the house" and his "100 lbs" cds, I was
expecting something just as house-ful. Lyrics just dont cut it for me,
Nina..........well now, I dunno(skeptical, but I'd try it).......
With all this complaining, I will add that Matthew is a musician trying
to do new things, and thats commendable in and of itself. I'll just
wait for his next LP to drop.
the singing isn't up to the task of being the centerpiece of the
album. for the kind of singing it's supposed to be, it just don't got
the technique or the emotions or the ability to really put the words
across. the lyrics, which breezily riff on torchy lounge songs, want
to have a great singer. you know, call up nina simone or something.
boy, then you'd have some IDM, huh?
