Everything is great about this album, tracks are melodic, oldschool and funky. Asides from two tracks, maybe (which are a bit too repetitive), there are really no downsides to this album, if you only like this kind of music!
Awesome! I like these deep bases connected with exotic sounds that recalls arabia! It has really exotic feeling mixed with something known, and it sounds really cool! The only flaw this album has is HORRIBLE mixing. I barely could hear any voices out there! Good job anyways.
This piece of electronic art is... Not melodic, but it has the thing that makes listener to keep listening, even when music becomes irritating. You can't stop listening, can't take down the headphones. Perfect for a bus ride, or stroll through the city. It doesn't disturb, nor cheer up, it just is. Noisy, scratchy, cool.
As said. It's good compilation of ever-known elements, which makes good songs, that make you think "Didn't I hear this somewhere else before?". No experiments, no steps out of borderlines of genre, with exception of last song. Nothing innovative, but people might like it (and they do, as I see in other folks' reviews).

...but not me, apparently. Too chaotic, and silly lyrics (I know that it's hard to fit the vocals to music, and sometimes it's just the way it is, but... ). There are too many repeats (I didn't know how to tell it, melodies are looped in the background) for a single song, which makes them boring after a while, which mixed with flaw #1 makes this even worse. Though it's a debut I'll give you a bit higher note.
PS. Good female vocals.
NIEKTÓRYM MOŻE SIĘ SPODOBAĆ...
...ale mnie jakoś nie pasuje. Muzyka jest zbyt chaotyczna, a teksty piosenek są... Powiedzmy, wiem, że czasem jest trudno dopasować tekst do rytmu i tempa muzyki, ale tutaj już trochę przesadzono... Szczególnie, gdy muzyka jest w języku ojczystym i na jaw wychodzą wszystkie niedociągnięcia tekściarskie. W dodatku melodie w piosenkach są zbyt często kończone i grane od nowa (nie wiedziałem jak to ująć, po prostu w tle w kółko gra ten sam zapętlony motyw), co sprawia, że piosenki są nudne, co w połączeniu z pierwszym wytkniętym błędem daje złe wrażenie. Gdyby trochę nad tym popracować, to mogło być niezłe, a że to dopiero początek, to udzielam kredytu zaufania i stawiam ocenę na wyrost.
PS. Niezły kobiecy wokal.
I've been looking for something like this! :D Songs are very dynamic, and one can hear every classic BLUES instrument. Yes, thankfully not jazz, but blues!
PS. I loved the fact that lyrics are in English. There's the thing I've noticed, French folks have tendency to write lyrics 90% in French, but most of Spanish artists don't do the same. Gratz!
This sentence pretty much describes the album (which fist part, by the way reminds me soundtrack of Fallout series, especially few parts with strange single voices, and drums). I like it! It's got great mood: strange, like listener is moving from deserts to hi-tech city, and back. It's like travel through the time, but in other dimension, dark and dangerous. I wonder how would it sound in bus :D
I expected the rest of album to be in the mood predicted by first song, so I'm dissappointed hearing most of them to be just another slow-cheerfull, instead of speed-cheerfull (like on crack). With exceptions of two, three songs, this just doesn't rock enough. Still, it's not bad album, for someone who likes this type of music.
PS. I didn't notice any bad-mixed songs, except for first track.
PPS. I demand a re-make of Loneliness Blues, with better mixing, and I want to be able do download it as a single file! Just kidding, but I just don't wanna d/l entire album for two songs... :P
One of the best hard-rock bands out there. Heavy riffs ripping your eardrums, but also some original sounds. Simply, something everyone on Jamendo MUST know!
That's what first comes to my mind, when I listen to this album. Not really original, but it has what it takes to make people want more. Scratchy and oldschool, if you like old games or arcades, you'll surely like this one.
Good themes, melodies... What's more to write, every single song brings various imaginations, from 8-bit action packed shootouts, to little folks jumping on numerous platforms. :) Kangaroo've done solid, although not innovative job. I'd like to listen to these in some game. :)
