Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I revisited a bit of Carbon Silicon tonight for the first time in years. Some real quality in the songwriting but that drum machine sounds even worse with the passing of time. You can virtually take your pick of drummers in London and you use this incessant, wearisome drum pattern for every song. I still don't know what they were thinking.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Yeah, I may actually be more charitable to the drum machine than I was at the time. It's charming and feels very deliberately out of phase with mainstream tastes. It might have kept C/S from truly being a force to be reckoned with, but it's endearing as the years go on.Silent Majority wrote: ↑02 Dec 2020, 4:11amYou have to take it as a lo-fi, punky wack attack hip hop beat.
