September 23, 2009Electric Valentine “Automatic”
September 13, 2009Yeah, I miss Hot 97.7 too. Dwaine Luna is in Cincinnati, Ohio, now, you know. Electric Valentine wishes it were 1992 and opening for Expose at Great America, only $6 with park admission. “Automatic” is straight outta Bush 41 and makes me wonder where my Cavariccis are.
Some of the sound is slightly modernized. “Binary Outbreak” has some definite crossover potential. “Chasing the Sun” should be playing at middle school dances everywhere.
A lot of the songs run together a bit. It’s a tired theme after 25 years of high energy. Imagine how reggaeton artists will feel in 2030. But “Waiting for the Harmony” sets a good pace and really belongs further up in the album where more people will see it.
The album even has a bonus track. Back in the proverbial day, the CD would sometimes have a bonus track that the cassette did not, ostensibly because a CD had a higher capacity than a tape. I don’t know about that. You could just make the tape thinner, but they hated to do that because it would snap easier. At any rate, the bonus track is “Take Your Time,” a cover of the SOS Band song. Of course it’s great.
