ghost Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Simon T Munro - The CarouselI didn't go looking for this CD. I was in One Up Records to collect the Noise Pollution EP and spotted this self-released single in the local band section for a measly 50p. Could I resist? Of course not.Gentle downbeat acoustic ballad with strong burred vocals. Reminds of The Reindeer Section, Red House Painters. Lyrics paint a nice picture but brings nothing new to the table. It would have been nice to hear harmonies, sparse bass, even a touch of percussion in this to keep the listener rapt and there's no excuse for not fading in and out the background noise at the track bookends. The remix attempts to spice things up with broken electro beats and harmonic synths but rough synchronisation ends up stifling the song further when improvement seemed easier. Still, it's not a bad introduction to Mr Munro at a very tempting price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
