What tracks do you think *spoil* an album? Those particular songs that
tarnish an otherwise perfect album? If you could just scratch them off you'd
be much happier - it would save you skipping it each time you listen to the
album.
Here's a couple for starters:
'Streets of Huancayo, Peru' by Up, Bustle and Out, on the album 'One
Colour Just Reflects Another'
U,B & O have used *lots* of natural sound type samples from
Peru and Bolivia and such, but 2 minutes 48 of the sound of some Peruvian
street is just plain boring.
'Straight To You' on Jestofunk's album'Love In a Black Dimension'.
Would sound more at home on a Michael Bolton album.
And so would the track 'Sandcastles' on Bomb The Bass' 'Clear'.
And finally - 'King Ashapanabal Pt 1 & 2' on the Funki Porcini album
'Hed Phone Sex'. No reason - just don't like 'em.
