<<Bought felt mountain/goldfrapp and tourist/st.germaine last week
on the recommendation of this list, and I'm feeling a little lukewarm about
both of them. (btw, if that makes you think I must be deaf, its just music,
so dont flame me, fill me in on what im missing) I like the first track of
Tourist/St. Germaine, but after that I was let down. I don't feel like
theres anything really surprising or new in the CD & the superrepetitive
rhythm and bass line loops start to get obtrusive by about midway thru
each song. Felt Mountain/Goldfrapp has a more distinctive vibe, but it
didnt break any new ground for me.. just kind of like Massive Attack meets
X-Files.>>
