Mind How You Go http://rapidshare.com/files/163372144/SkyeEdwards-_MindHowYouGo.rar   Amazon.com Skye Edwards, former vocalist for trip-hop act Morcheeba, has a voice as smooth as silk. In fact, it's as relaxing as a heavy sedative. This suited her just fine in the sexy, druggy, and futuristic realms of her old band. And for the most part, it works to swell effect on her solo debut as well. The songs themselves are not the focus, which is fine enough given lyrics such as "So love's a stain on a shirt like old red wine." Mind How You Go seems to have been written by a committee going for a younger Starbucks demographic, or perhaps the older people who like The Matrix a lot. Recorded with Daniel Lanois and Pat Leonard, the songs are slickly produced pop that tries to balance the line between adult alternative and jazzy electronics. The real star here is Skye's distinctive, awesome voice--a cool and mesmerizing instrument, both strong and subtle at the same time. One hopes that it's even more the focal point on her next outing, or at the very least that she finds beats somewhere which don't sound so lifted from a perfume commercial. --Mike McGonigal Time Out "Skye's record fits on the shelf next to Big Calm as a pleasing lilting collection of electro-flecked soothers" Product Description Former Morcheeba singer's first solo album featuring production by Pat Leonard (Pink Floyd, Madonna) and Daniel Lanois (U2). There is much that is familiar on "Mind How You Go" - the connection to Morcheeba, the beguiling quality of Skye's voice, the potent melodies that bury themselves deep inside your brain, the cool elegance of her delivery. It's a sublime collection of vivid songs that present Skye in an entirely new light. -- Danilo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Gugukluhayat" group.
