Okay, so you've made a band. You've chosen a quirky
style. It's a bit indie, a bit electro, it's funky
as hell, and it's good to listen to. So what's the
next step? Let's find a monotonous vocal, that pronounces
words really strangely, and get it to blurt systematically
to each beat. Wrong answer. And that my friends,
is why this single is a let down. And it doesn't
get much deeper than that. The music is fantastic
but the vocals just don't work.
James Routledge has noticed this, and thus, in
his remix, also on the CD, the music has been
transcribed to electro systhesised beats, melodies
and sequences. And here, with the vocal also slightly
synthesised, it all works beautifully. Perhaps
a change of direction is in order for Burningpilot
who, if they want to remain together but make
great music, should look at the nu-rave/electronica
market. New Order, "Blue Monday." You
know it makes sense.
The "Adventures Close To Home Remix"
is a 90's tastic painful mess unless you're hideously
drunk. It doesn't really focus on the vocals as
much which could be seen as a bonus, but instead
installs tacky piano and string stabs, the equivalent
of recording someone scraping their nails down
a chalkboard.
2/5
