ventaLucky Dip report #2:
Gecko - Lizard Point
After consideration, I've decided that Gecko is the band and Lizard Point is the album title. The CD cover didn't make this entirely obvious. (Aha, Gecko is a him not a them. Thank you, Google.)
Somehow, this is exactly what you'd expect an album with so much lizard credential to sound like. It's reptilian lounging music, with bits of dance and ambient thrown in.
No, I can't justify that claim about reptiles. It just is.
On the other hand, if you went to a late-night party at the house of someone you didn't know well, and found everyone lying around smoking hash and drinking tequila, this is the music they'd be listening to while doing it.
No, I can't justify that either.
I'm not sure I'd have dashed out (or rather, stayed in) and bought these tracks off iTunes[*]. But taking the album collectively, it's definitely worth the notional 10p I paid for it. I'll be listening to it again, I think.
Soundclips available here.
[*] In theory, I mean. In practice I'm unlikely to buy anything off iTunes ever again, regardless of quality. Unless they implement some kind of "free pie with every download" policy.

Date: 2005-10-12 08:46 am (UTC)I spent a good 5 minutes looking up some of the not so obscure bands on I-tunes only to find "Due to licencing issues we are unable to offer these tracks for sale in the UK". Some of them are British groups!! Piss poor thats what I said!
Gecko sound good though from what brief bit I heard :-)
