CHROMEO

Eh...I like both Chromeo and NYPC (not really sure why the latter are being brought into this, they're a different pastiche), but this feels kind of embarrassing. I don't know how to put this really, but where Chromeo are equal parts genuine enthusiasm and aloof distance, this tips too far toward the latter. It also feels like they're trying too damn hard. The forced MJ vocals, the nauseating "rap" section, it's...icky.

I love New Young Pony Club.

Yes, but what of Private?

Never heard of them.

chromeo were not the first at anything

they were first at not being first

what is other successful mid-80s R&B/funk pastiche groups not actually from this era

i think i agree w/ reverend but some of these songs aren't really bad either

i like that they try to hard.

I enjoy Chromeo's album (its all about the keyb fills) but ugh not feeling "Private." This song is tepid!

too*

im gonna stop riding the fence and say i agree, dollars to donuts this ends up in an ipod commercial in a couple months and i'll never want to hear it again.

chromeo still good tho

I'd rather hear Chromeo than look at them, though

yah chromeo is good but theres been doods dancing with their laptops to prince style shit way before them

I am always up for a good Zapp rip

word

eh well i am generally outside of their target audience i guess

Private = good song - rap bit.
video = good - watching that dude dance

other 80s funk/disco groups out now = Escort

Swade

^ ugh, sounds like some mid 90s house/jazzy jungle/lounge/sushi bar music

it doesnt really have a hint of irony to it, but most of the songs are zzz with a couple exceptions. but i think those songs are very good.

Escort are good.

jaymc, you dumbass. David linked to Private's video in his revive. That's kind of what we've been talking about in this section of thread.

when i was all hating on this i had never heard 'bonafide lovin'... thats a jam

still dont get why these dudes dont just like do a comeback album for chaka khan or some shit

Private sucks, i heard the obscure boogie track that they explicitly ripped off of for their single on trusme's release party mix and i felt gross for even bringing them up

This song is tepid!

this was wrong, what was tepid was that it was a cover masquerading as a new song

that makes sense then i guess

>>>>>>>fuck these guys
