sound of arrows - voyage
the sound of arrows (of whom i have posted previously) released their album, voyage. what's it like? it's like vangelis (composer of the blade runner soundtrack) called the pet shop boys and said, "let's have a rave while standing in line at disney's space mountain!"
at first i was hesitant to put the PSB reference in there, because they totally do not give off the same arty-pretentious vibe (sarcastically or not); but it's undeniable that the influence is there. and i hear more of a mid-70's synth feel, carried off very successfully.
since hearing "into the clouds" several months ago, i've been eager to get this album...the slow buildup has been worth the wait. and now, i highly recommend it.
(oh, and i didn't mention: one track actually samples a flock of seagulls single, "the more you live, the more you love".)
