Afro Droid Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 They've sold 400 copies - so ya'd think so Stand out tracks for me: Red Man Walking, Hot Mangu (sounds like Clutch!), and Q's song, he sounds remarkably like Jason Ringenberg. Ace.3 - oot noo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Balls. Wrong forum, could a helpful mod move this to All Music Discussion pleeeez? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tav Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I heard it in someones car. Going to get a copy myself. It's really good although I wasn't so keen on some of the songs later on the CD. Still shows you how good some music from around here can be!

Larsen B Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 I heard it and sorry to be unkind but i thought it was utter bollocks. Eddison give half a good song and Captain Face is okay but the rest of it was horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth_groover Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Red Dawg are brilliant and this shows on the CD. IMO, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Double Jack Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 i was pleasantly surprised by how good virtually all of it is - I can genuinely say that it the best recording (quality wise) we have ever done. Like Eddison, Funktree, Atom, Q, and Radio Lucifer track has a cool riff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Rocker Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Q's track? Is that Q of Tom's fame?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Q's track? Is that Q of Tom's fame?!!No, it's that other Q, the omnipotent villian/prankster of Star Trek The Next Generation (played by actor John de Lancie) who, by pure chance, heard of The Fat Hippy project and could think of no better way to spend his free time than recording a one off number for this recent compilation.

Skull Commander Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I bought this last week. Not bad at all, and for 3 it's not a bank breaker. Was pleasantly surprised by Double Jack, and the Karloff and Captain Face tracks are quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Where's this review then G - bring it on!Eddison...Well performed with good vocals, poor mix and severe lack of bottom end let it down.Ross Nicol... Nice enough song that should appeal to fans of current pop/rock, not my cuppa but stars of the future no doubt.Amy Sawers... Time to admit to this being the first i've heard Amy, tries too hard with the cracked vocal thing, hate the drums and acoustic mix, not for me i'm afraid.Girl said no... Treading a well worn path tread so much better by so many gone before, I seem to remember a band called Slipstream, before your time though.Badge... Super band slightly let down by vocal, this lot manage to sound dated and fresh all at the same time, get a singer, shit hot.Red man walking... Hate this song with all my being, horrible vocal melody and nasty timing issues, mix is mud and there is no space to breath, yuck.X-certs... Love this band, not their best song and it sounds a bit familiar (Liber Wish) but fantastic performance.Hot Mangu... Something for everyone in this gem, love it.Karloff... Great band sadly let down by BLOODY AWFUL recording, but they are a live experience.Double Jack... Until hearing this I wouldn't have believed that one band could be influenced by every rock and metal band since 1970, and I can hear every one of those influences in this track. I think that might just be the point though.Radio Lucifer... Shit! Shit! Shit! I like it..........dont tell anyone.Weapon... Backed by my favourite drummer in the whole world and enough enthusiasm and ambition for a whole truck load of bands they cant go wrong, love it.Blessed... Nae my thing, worst kick drum sound I have ever heard, please god let it finish.Black Atom... Sorry guys, you know I love you but as long as you sound like Maiden i'll never like the music, nicely made track though.Captain Face... Smiled when the track started but lost interest after about a minute.Funktree... Nothing new but nice enough, cool Hammond.Five Fifteen... seem to be influenced by 90's bands I hate.Floored... no I wasn't, bad song poorly played.Q... May think he's Bowie, he's not, nice production.Red Dawg... A bit cabaret for me, pleasant enough. G... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraemeC Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 do you actually like it!!Fair question, its difficult to answer without offence. You are obviously a very able and well rehearsed band, the track is nicely recorded but not to my personal taste, it leans too far to the metal side of rock for me.So no I dont really like it, can you ever forgive me?G...

If its any cosolation there was nothing to criticise, its just a personal taste thing. You may have other stuff I like, I dont even like every track of bands I love...
