Hmmm… I like the structure and the melody, even though it sounds like an old synth pop (I think it´s called) sometimes, but it feels unfinished in a way.
Would have been nice with real brass instruments indeed and better vocals (sorry but I do love Karl´s voice :) )

Re: NEW ALBUM: Someday World (hyde+eno)
 

Yeah! It's upbeat :) well maybe not upbeat. Maybe I mean uptempo. Point is I like it too - definitely a New Order vibe.

I'm not sure what to say about this. The horns, on first 2 listens, really cheapen the overall piece quite a bit. It reminded me of They Might Be Giants - before TMBG could afford to hire a brass section to record/tour with them; I like TMBG.

But it just sounds really disconnected to me. Right now. Music does tend to grow on me, but if this wasn't Hyde or Eno I wouldn't have given it the second listen. Maybe I'll go at it again tomorrow and see how it feels.

I'm iffy on it myself. For what it's worth, though, I usually need the context of an album to really get something. Cut Clouds didn't do to much for me at first, either.

Nice surprise. I like that better than anything on Edgeland.

Re: NEW ALBUM: Someday World (hyde+eno)
 

Similar response to many - i like hearing Karl's voice on something new, but the track, as a whole, sounds dated and random. Not every creative output is ready for mass audience.

Here's hoping the rest of the LP is more introspective. Personally, i like the jazzy improv of "Beebop Hurry" and the minimal compositions of "edgeland".

Re: NEW ALBUM: Someday World (hyde+eno)
 

Hmmmm, yeah. :( Not even something that I would listen to for a second time to get used to or "learn to like it" etc. Really not looking forward to this album...even less than I was before I heard it, ugh.

Re: NEW ALBUM: Someday World (hyde+eno)
 

i think it's the shittiest thing i've ever heard kh be a part of. the brass is awful, teh vox is treated poorly and lyrically it says nothing to me. where is the emotion and the space?

i pre ordered the vinyl before i heard the first track. it can only get better.

Re: NEW ALBUM: Someday World (hyde+eno)
 

I almost feel guilty about how unexcited I am for an Eno/Hyde album. :\

Re: NEW ALBUM: Someday World (hyde+eno)
 

wow. without realizing it until now, so do I.
