Electric Blue



Since I have already incriminated myself by revealing that I'm a closet synth fanatic, I suppose there is no harm in my revealing that "Electric Blue," the new solo album by Erasure vocalist Andy Bell, is absolutely awesome! It sounds a bit like a disco record, and I'm generally turned off by disco, but the tunes are just so unbelievably catchy that I don't even mind the occasional Donna Summer feel.

Yes, I know it's sad, but damned if I don't love electronic music. Any new good punk CD's coming out in the near future? I'll have to keep my eyes open. My own CD is almost finished, just doing some final mixing, but I'm afraid there are only eight punk songs (along with two acoustics and an instrumental), and two are arguably on the emo side, whereas most "real" punk CD's have at least fourteen solid songs. I guess that since punk songs are generally only 2-3 minutes long, it would be a waste of a CD to have any less than that. Fortunately, though, most of my songs are more than three minutes in length, so I think I have a good thirty-five minutes of music. Now whether the songs are actually any good...well that's another story entirely. Hopefully I'll have something up on My Space really soon.
