Review title: Where's the groove? And the tunes?
Product review: Boy, was this a big disappointment! I loved the One Dove stuff, and I liked Dot's last record, AFTERGLOW, just as much. What the heck happened here? I agree 100% with Derek Mok's review below. There really is nothing like a melody or interesting chord progression here. I realize that sometimes you can get by without those elements to a certain extent if there is a good groove going on. Witness such great albums as SUZUKI by Tosca and Way Out West's brilliant INTENSIFY. But on this record, there simply is no groove. Everything is just plain dull. It reminded me of some of the less successful 80's techno-pop, or like bad Human League and Thompson Twins outtakes. Skip it. And hope that Dot gets back on track with the next one.
