Tom 14013 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Some people are calling it that. Sorry, I didn't mean to attack as such. Hmm modern blues is a decent concept to speak about but I'm about to go to sleep so probably not now! Would modern blues be closer to R&B or Joe Bonamassa, perhaps more modern deviations like some White Stripes, Black Keys or Jon Spencer style stuff. Worth some thought.

Monkeys Fist 42524 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Third one is okay though. btw, if no-one else votes, the Arthur Dollar option will remain at Fiddy (per)Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I quite like his album tbh. Some of it doesn't work though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I quite like his album tbh. Some of it doesn't work though its very brave of him. some very very clever touches but ultimately he should stick to the dubstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibble 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Saw him live before xmas (supporting Everything Everything) in a proper sit-down concert hall - everything was virtually identical to the album. He played keys and the odd bit of guitar alongside a bass player and rhythm/knob twiddler. The effects/compression gave him a distinctive sound and in that venue his dubsteppy minimalist style - heart stoppingly slow tempo combined with heart starting sub-bass conjured up a very different, quite intimate, atmosphere to your average gig. There were a couple of good tracks (Limit to Your Love - a cover version - was the strongest) but by the end I decided he was mining a pretty thin seam to the absolute max and I'd got a bit bored by the end of the 35 minute set. From a distance of 4 months the most memorable thing was the atmosphere. Might be one for the longer term, but imo more style than substance at the minute. 5/10 Edited March 25, 2011 by Bibble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'd have absolutely no desire to go and see that album live. Its immersive headphone music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trophyshy 7083 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I think the pub near me was playing some modern blues tonight. If we must delve back that far, can we get modern lynchings going too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Limit to your Love is a great cover, I've tried to get into the album but just can't, too dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
