this is one of my favorite pieces of writing of the year (I've wanted to pitch an enigma sunday review for a while but have never quite gotten the courage)

That Deep Forest track is mad underrated

a little confused on this, I think they are reviewing a 97 edition with a different tracklist than the one President Keyes posted?

The review itself mentions that there was an original UK version, which was tweaked for the later US release. Not clear on what the changes were tbh.

yeah, great review!
as for track lists, yes, they changed pretty significantly

Yeah the '94 original seems to have the better tracklist.

is this the first time they've slotted a track review in to whats the album reviews area? (for posterity the new kanye song)
― devvvine, Tuesday, 30 June 2020 23:45 (four years ago) link
I think so, yes! I'm not mad about it.
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Tuesday, 30 June 2020 23:57 (four years ago) link
probably.
also, kanye should have stayed quiet. last thing anyone needs right now is his narcissism.

Weird review. Why did they bother?
― Pat McGroin (morrisp), Wednesday, 1 July 2020 00:57 (four years ago) link
because kanye is one of their top-five defining artists since the conde nast takeover became complete?
― j., Wednesday, 1 July 2020 01:03 (four years ago) link
So review it like any other Kanye track? Why break precedent for this one, just to be... “Ehh, this sucks”
― Pat McGroin (morrisp), Wednesday, 1 July 2020 01:14 (four years ago) link
(Or does today just happen to be the beginning of a new era, in which track reviews are mixed in with album reviews, and it just as easily could have been Gum Country or whatever?)
― Pat McGroin (morrisp), Wednesday, 1 July 2020 01:16 (four years ago) link
it would make more sense if from now on they're putting track reviews in with album reviews instead of in with news
― ufo, Wednesday, 1 July 2020 01:29 (four years ago) link
I wonder why they didn’t review that Beyoncé track; seems like it would have been a natural choice.

A Sufjan single is now the lead review and labeled BNM. So I guess this is a thing now.

Are they deliberately not reporting on Kanye for prez? If so, I applaud that.

perhaps we could follow suit

had the same thought. good on 'em if so.
― k*r*n koltrane (Simon H.), Sunday, 5 July 2020 19:24 (four years ago) link
Or they could just not be reporting on it because of holiday weekend, since there hasn't been any new news items since July 3?
― MarkoP, Sunday, 5 July 2020 21:44 (four years ago) link
That Pure Moods review is lovely and made me laugh quite a bit, particularly in the sections about Enigma.
Crockett's Theme came back for a brief while during the balearic times of the mid-aughts, I used to play it at parties, same with Enya. People would go nuts for it?

Serious power move to place a review of an album entitled Fucking Hell directly alongside a review of an album entitled Massey Fucking Hall on today's albums page.

Surviving under capitalism is a drag—it’s the oldest story in rock’n’roll—

I can't believe Pink Floyd had a dog in the band who could play the blues and make sound collages, and even more amazingly, the dog wasn't able to get a record deal of his own! Blatant music industry species-ism.
