Negative Positive
Title: Avalanches reducing to snowball...
Review: Openings can be deceptive...My first exposure to the Avalanches and the title track is a whimsical, sugar-pop delight with the Madonna Holiday sample slotting in to perfection. Unfortunately the remains of the album disappoint as it album dissolves into a mish-mash of over-elaboration and mis-direction. Like me, if you like your oeuvre deconstructed, a little darker and starker, I would suggest any Massive Attack and/or Dummy by Portishead (with the wondrous gloom-diva, Beth Gibbons).
