Oh man! My friend just got an advance from Studio k7 for his radio show for
Herbert's new album, Bodily Functions! This stuff is very exceptional, this
is Herbert definitely at his best and most emotional. Has anybody heard
this yet? Any comments?? It's very sublime!
Here are the songs I heard but I do not know what they are called (my friend
is a bastard and didn't mention titles:
1. Kind of slow off-beat jazz thing with beeps, blurbs and sonic scrambles
weaving in and out of the song... Maybe 75bpm
2. Smooth etherreal and spacial singing from Dani Siciliano with sort of a
mellow track with a programmed chugging filtered drum against a piano and a
muted trumpet in it. Maybe 125-130bpm. I think she was saying
"Reflections" in the chorus but I couldn't remember significant lyrics other
than that. There was also a flute in it harmonising with the trumpet.
3. A really wicked Herbert style jam with Dani Siciliano and Herbert using
her vocals as the instrumentals at the start. The end of this song is
totally beautiful with the piano creeping in and chord progression which
dies into an acapella in the end. I think she keeps saying "Together, we
are one". I can't remember now though...
4. This nice deep houser with a chorus that goes "I would run from you but
now I come to you" and then is a beatless version at the end. Very nice
lyrics.
5. Then he played what I figured is the Recloose remix of "Leave Me Now",
it is excellent! Kind of slower than the original with a cool break drum
program but with same chords as the Herbert original.
Thanx folks!
