I’ll say it – I’m not the biggest fan of hip-hop. Never have been, never will be. Apart from a few select records, like the Wu-Tang Clan, Jay-Z and Eminem, I’m just not a fan. It’s not that it’s awful music, it just doesn’t click with me. Regardless, you heard it here first – Man Mantis might just change my ideas about hip-hop for a while.
I never knew that there were places (homes, institutions or whatever you want to call them) for people who were deaf. Daniel Marando from the diabolically bluesy Maladies sits across from me, staring out the window. Something seems to catch his eye as he turns and waves to an older lady sitting across the room, intently watching the Bold and the Beautiful with closed captions blaring.
“HI MARGARET, HOW ARE YOU?”
Winston Giles – Lovers: The first thing I noticed about this album when it arrived was the simple but beautiful cover art. It just teemed with intimacy and complimented with a balanced font face.
Pop Disco House. Yum.
The way the bass pops over some very funky beats will strike you. And much like the artwork — it’s a very balanced sound that is both soothing and uplifting. I absolutely love the way the beats drop, in particular on track 3 Get My Demons Out — where the things get a bit harder. The guitars on this particular track even remind me of Pink Floyd’s guitar work — using a brilliant lead channel with delay. Really sings well and compliments the vocal lines.
