RE: A Hundred Days off
Okay - so I picked it up. I'm a sucker for anything Underworld. I've spent the last couple of days listening very closely, and as usual, I like it. Seems more like the stuff from dubnobasswithmyheadman. I think the first track has the dude on the cowbell at the end? I get this mental image of some shmoe in front of a mic getting down with the cowbell. It's fantastic. The cowbell just RIPS!!! I think track 4 (the downtempo deal with the triplets groove) is fantastic as well.
Gotta say, I love the way they do their vocals. It's like a tapestry on the wall of a fancy room. The room is beautiful on it's own, but the tapestry adds that certain something. It's there, but not the focal point.
A lot of 4 on the floor stuff, but it's not the typical 4 on the floor. Don't know how to explain it, it's just...different.
Anyhow - well worth the $14 I paid.
