Review of BeginAgain
Whilst randomly searching through websites i came across a website http://www.beginagainmusic.com , which features 10 tracks from BeginAgain - so i downloaded the 4 tracks from the " love.life.etc E.P.".
BeginAgain is Vinny Coyne a Galway based musician who on the basis of these 4 tracks is a talented young musician worth keeping an eye on .
Standout track for me was Drown - a very atmospheric piece of music that reminded me of Disintegration era Cure (and that is no bad thing :) ) - when the reverb guitar kicks in at 2.12 its quite superb.
I Can't - for me is crying out for a string quartet for the crescendo - it builds up and needs "more" in my humble opinion - still a bloody good song though!
Adversery(edit) - has a drum pattern that could have come from Red House Painters album "Rollercoaster" - and was the weakest of the four tracks - the only track i wouldn't recommend for downloading.
Title track Love, Life, Etc- is another track that is crying out for a bigger production - it has the potential to be an anthematic track - the coda of "we’ll give our bodies over" endlessly repeated like a mantra is very poweful and uplifting.
So overall i'm very impressed and will be certainly downloading more songs from the website in the near future.
On a different tangent alltogether - highly recommended site http://xtc4u.org , featuring an excellent selection of Live XTC tracks (before Andy Partridge's stage fright) and live in radio station tracks from the American "Oranges and Lemons" tour. Especially recommended is a version of the out-take Blue Beret http://xtc4u.org/xtcweeds/xtcw03/xtc0307.mp3
Thats all folks!!!!
