frankmusik

i should clarify this is definitely better than la roux lp

the m/ar/r/r/s sampling one could be a fun single

At some point soon, JLC might build on Confessions On A Dancefloor and produce an album for an act that doesn't completely suck shit but that day doesn't seem to be getting any closer.

i didn't even realise he's credited with the whole thing and assumed Turner composed most of this (and chose the samples) as much of it doesn't seem characteristic of Price really (which is weird to write because of all the 80s refs and electro elements)

(Turner as in Frank)

wtf steve, frankmusik is not frank turner!

oh, but apparently his real name is vincent turner. CONFUSING.

Also confused as to where Justin Lee Collins fits into all this.

Not too sure about the album as a whole, but In Step, Better Off As Two and (especially) 3 Little Words are absolutely brilliant. The album version of the latter in particular has Price all over it, to great effect - there's an 80s fairlight style stab he uses which is such a simple addition but it works brilliantly.

That one that samples "Golden Brown" oddly reminds me of Sulk-era Associates.

done done is great, not sure if it's on the album tho

Ah, so that's the end of Frankmusik then.

You don't come back from a collaboration with Far East Movement any better for it.

Who's careers have Far East Movement killed?

No one that I know of. Frankmusik is a test case, and he fails.

(Dev didn't previously and still doesn't have any career to speak of, so she can't really be considered.)

Ha! Just saw he's killed the Frankmusik name, vacated his contract, and is now recording demos again as Vince Did It.

So...I was right?

2 1/2 years later I just remembered him, went on Spotify and found he's released two albums since this thread was last active. I'm listening to By Nicole right now (from this year) and it's like the dictionary definition of "decent".
