Title: The Downward Slide Outside
Review: I can remember first hearing Matt Cooper, teamed with Cleaveland "Origin" Watkiss, on Outside's debut "Almost In". It was the CD that I used to [anger] my wife because I literally played it to death. Ditto for "The Rough and the Smooth". Since then, I've been a jilted (music) lover, waiting for another Outside CD to knock me out like those. That CD never came. But total disappointment in Matt Cooper's musical genius did.I'm not even sure if Outside is still a band, with Matt Cooper teaming up with Andreas "something-or-other" for a series of wannabe-eclectic tracks that sacrifice electronic raw grooves for experimental 'edge'. More like 'sledge'. "Blue Sky" is the ONLY track on Out of the Dark worth listening to. Too bad there was no single available.Hopefully, that old Outside mystique will come back to bless those of us tired of commercial radio schlock. Hopefully, Outside will come back 'in' again.
Is the review positive or negative?
