just had a chance to give this one quick listen at work yesterday:
Model 500--Mind And Body RS99145 (BE/R & S)
released 1 March 1999
1. Psychosomatic 6:15
--w/ Low Res, experimental electro
2. Everyday 9:14
--w/ Rob Hood; hip hop tempo w/ FV rap and MV in intro
3. Incredible 6:24
--drum n bass w/ FV
4. In And Out 5:43
--w/ MV
5. Rain 5:58
--w/ FV, sounds like an Erykah Badu track actually
6. Tipsy 5:50
--w/ FV, more uptempo #5
7. Just Maybe 5:29
--w/ MV; phased break rhythm, FV added 1/2 thru; hip hop attitude in
lyrics
8. Mind And Body 6:17
--w/ Low Res; experimental at hip hop tempo
9. Be Brave 5:02
--poppy w/ MV, FV, and acoustic guitar
10. It's Time 4:15
--Cybotron-style electro w./ MV
again, this is from one quick listen at work, thus
the quick notes; notes: MV= male vocal (not always
Juan), FV = female vocal (a number of different women);
full tracklisting and detailed notes in the News section on
http://www.globalserve.net/~cognition
was hoping there'd be at least one 4 on the floor piece
*(like "I Wanna Be there" on 1995's "Deep Space"
album), but there's not a one to be found.
where you could see the sound of Infiniti in the last
Model 500 album, this Model 500 album is a separate
entitity from the Infiniti "skynet"; overall, it's got more
of the feel of "Deep Space"'s "The Flow"; every track
--other than the two done with Danny "Low Res" Zelonky--
has vocals. In fact, it's all quite accessible, and the Zelonky
collaborations are the two experimental ones (makes sense
that they would be experimental, but figured Juan would
do some on his own). Two zelonky collaborations actually
sound more zelonky than atkins when compared to the other
8 tracks. again, this is after one quick listen, my opinions
may change with future listens. interesting
to note that the remixes of be brave are an improvement
on the original (IMO, and a few others')
and it's be brave's bside: psychosomatic
(one of the two zelonky collaborations) that has the reviewers
saying "this is the bomb". ("go danny, go danny!" ;))
i lost part 4 of InTHe mix show 578
in my computer screwup, so i'll try to redo it today with
one of the songs from this forthcoming album included
and some other forthcoming material (common factor, wildplanet,
etc)
(if i can borrow a cd player; my computer's cd rom crashes
the computer when used now). and got a promo of
the cd itself, so can't report on the packaging, etc
sorry bout the blab, just woke up Andrew PS will be
premiering the release soon on Cognition (again, computer
is holding me hostage on what's comin' up :(
)
