I just got this through the post…
Clear vinyl is literally the best thing ever.

I can’t help it– when I listen to this song I hear an electronic power ballad. When I was 15, i really liked groups like Apoptygma Berzerk and VNV Nation, and this song sounds like it could have been on album by either one.

since when did uplifting become “cheesy”?

this is a beautiful and emotional piece of music

i love it. beautiful phat sounding synth tempered by his displicined minimalist stylings. a lovely and unusual composition slightly resonant of fellow irishman Chymera’s lush sounds…

and what’s the matter with a little cheese? deep fried brie with cranberry sauce anyone?

Wolfgang Voigt did a color series under his Studio 1 moniker.

Yes it is a little cheesy, but it’s still a pretty cool track. I little hint of cheese can be a good thing, IMO. In fact, it’s sometimes the stuff that self-consciously *avoids* any cheese factor that falls flat and can be really boring.

Didn’t somebody else do a series of “color-coded” (and named after those colors) EPs in the mid 90′s? It was some progressive house duo I think, but I can’t recall their name(s)…

I love Costello, and I find this EP cheesy and boring. I know that doesn’t make sense, but there it is. What’s wrong with me?
