Diabolo

 

Once again Adam over at Bagging Area was a bit faster than me to feature a new superb release. But it doesn't matter to feature Gabe Gurnsey's new album a second time at this little place in the internet. Diabolo his second album is a hybrid of many of his influences and marks a fusion of Simple Minds, Suicide, DAF, Detroit techno, deep house and Eurythmics. And with the vocals of Tilly Morris she adds the spirit of Donna Summer and Giorgio Moroder to their sound. Nothing more or less than an album from another great Manchester band that will be played at my place more than one time.

Coldplay Monday

Back from a fantastic gathering in Glasgow with all the guys and done again on duty. We had a very good time sitting together laughing and drinking and suddenly we had the idea to post about Coldplay today. Not that we will call us fans but there will be a new ICA over at JC's place today. For that reason we planned to post Coldplay as well. Midnight is an example of Coldplay's sound and shows Chris Martin and his pathetic voice at it's best. This song stands for what the band is: suffering in their emotional sadness. Not that I don't like this sometimes but most of the time I combine that predictive attitude with Bono. Anyway, I choose this song because this remix is made by probably the godfather of disco-music. Giorgio Moroder developed a very unique sound in the early 80's - far away from what I usually listened these days. Moroder made this song his own and turned him into a house-inspired song worth to be listened.
