Music reviews of Roseland featuring Tyler Bates and Azam Ali
Music Review: Excellent, though strangely obscure
Rating: 4 Stars
Roseland is a strangely obscure collaboration between film score composer Tyler Bates (300, Doomsday) and Azam Ali from bands Niyaz and Vas. Both artists' historical output is amazing. However, this album is quite a departure for both of them, though no less competent.
Roseland reminds me a bit of trip hop, think Portishead or Massive Attack, injected with a healthy dose of Siouxie and the Banshees style gothic rock. It is a largely electronic recording with scattered riffy guitar work. There is a solid groove with a strong down beat, making this music a seductive dance floor choice. Each track is memorable, without annoying pop hooks, and work together to make a good, complete album.
Azam Ali's vocal work is simply divine. Her range, and vocal depth are staggering. Her work here is commanding, intense, passionate and utterly beautiful. Even though Ali's vocal work is quite potent, it is noteworthy that in no way does it overwhelm the overall mix or composition. This is a normal point of contention I have when a band showcases such a prominent vocalist. This is not just a showcase for how wonderful a vocalist she is. This is definitely an even collaboration between these two competent artists.
Roseland is not quite trip hop, but it is difficult to classify and I suspect anyone into bands like Massive Attack will enjoy this album. I would also recommend this to fans of darkwave/ethereal acts like Dead Can Dance or The Creatures.

Description of Roseland featuring Tyler Bates and Azam Ali
A compelling rock/ambient CD by film composer Tyler Bates and singer/songwriter Azam Ali Roseland is the union between virtuoso singer and songsmith Azam Ali (Niyaz, Vas) and accomplished film composer/producer Tyler Bates (300, Dawn of the Dead, Rob Zombie's Halloween). Juxtaposing ambient electronic textures with intoxicating vocal melodies and driving hypnotic rhythms, Roseland's music is the expression of a truly unique artistic collaboration. The two artists diverse backgrounds aided in creating this cd with it's lush atmospheric aural landscape comparable to watching a dark, insightful film in that it can stir many contradicting emotions like pain, bliss, sorrow, anger and surrender. While their music has been compared to Cocteau Twins, Siouxsie and the Banshees, meet Led Zeppelin, no likeness conveys the cinematic essence of Azam's haunting voice and evocative lyrics that reflect the sorrows of war, self-doubt, and the personal experiences and relationships which shape and mold our psyches. 1 Other Side Of Me 2 The Spill 3 Mothwings 4 Hollow Feel 5 Keep It Coming 6 Forty One Ways 7 Bitter Days 8 The Reaper's Crown 9 Believer 10 Light The StarsAlternative Rock CDs
