THE SUNDAY SYNC - AIR - MOON SAFARI - 8PM 24/05

[GinAg (39)]

Now it goes with saying All I Need is fucking stunning.

 

[jyxz]

Sexy Boy Sexy Boy
Where are your heroes with the bodies of athletes
Where are your badly-shaven, well-dressed idols
Sexy Boy Sexy Boy
Dollars in their eyes
Diamonds in their smiles
One day I too will be handsome like a god
Sexy Boy Sexy Boy
Apollo 2000, zero faults, twenty-one years old
He's the ideal man with his masculine charm
Sexy Boy Sexy Boy

Now it goes with saying All I Need is fucking stunning.

It's like the "song" version of the opener. It's just lovely.

 

[jyxz]

‘All I need’ is possibly the highlight of the album for me

*swoon*

 

[GinAg (39)]

Aw ayyyyyyyyyy.....

 

[GinAg (39)]

Lovely lovely lovely.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Now Kelly I was never big on.

 

[octophone]

Now Kelley I was never big on.

Funny, "KWTS" was my favourite at the time and the one that sold the album to me.

 

[dmlaw]

The YouTube playlist has the video for 'Kelly Watch The Stars'. I don't quite know what to make of it.

 

[jyxz]

I like it, but fat too many proclamations for Kelly to watch those stars to be honest

 

[GinAg (39)]

With this and Ray of Light 1998 did have a certain unique sound.

Still less repetitive than 'Around The World' by Daft Punk.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I assume Kelly is a sexier name in French.

 

[octophone]

Listening now, KWTS doesn't have so much to say for itself. A second line of lyrics would have done some good. Still, doesn't outstay its welcome.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Still less repetitive than 'Around The World' by Daft Punk.

Around the World is an infinitely better track.

I think it’s closer cousin is the Mirwais tracks on Kusic? Certainly ‘Kwts’ and ‘Music’s boogie woogie...

I've never seen it...will investigate.

I was thinking of that electronic bubbling noise that appears on here and on RoL (album). Mind you Orbit was still rinsing that on Pure Shores in 2000.

 

[jyxz]

Talisman is more filler for me. It DOES build tho. Quite Bond/spy theme.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is really nice.

 

[octophone]

This shows their roots in soundtracks but also in jazz-fusion. It has that Weather Report/Return To Forever sound but reigned in, composed rather than freeformed.

 

[GinAg (39)]

06 La femme d'argent
08 Sexy Boy
10 All I Need
06 Kelly Watch the Stars
09 Talisman

 

[dmlaw]

I like the building strings with insistent drum beat on 'Talisman'. Very, very nice.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh Superman...

 

[octophone]

07 La femme d'argent
08 Sexy Boy
09 All I Need
07 Kelly Watch the Stars
07 Talisman

 

[octophone]

I like the sweeping, almost Indian strings on Remember.

 

[GinAg (39)]

This is a little silly.

 

[jyxz]

I love the delay effect on the percussion

 

[octophone]

Bit filler-y, Remember. This is much better, tho'.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Do we know who this Beth Hirsch is? I feel like I'd hate her regular stuff!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh I remember this as well. Like this a lot.

 

[jyxz]

I don’t know why this didn’t catapult Beth Hirsch into megastardom.

 

[GinAg (39)]

She looks a bit evil.

 

[dmlaw]

Big silence at the end of Remember on YouTube, so I'm behind now. The vocal is really making this one.

 

[jyxz]

Quite Saint Etienne-esque when they go baroque pop

 

[octophone]

This is so "summer".

 

[octophone]

I;m a sucker for a muted trumpet too.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh how fucking charming is this!?

 

[octophone]

This is just made for the ending to a romantic film.
