Music reviews of Back to Mine
Music Review: EBTG in the danger zone
Rating: 1 Stars
So there I am, cycling down Mira Mesa Boulevard on what promises to be a long, music-induced session. Passing The Wherehouse I suddenly get the bright idea of stopping to get the new Annie Lennox CD. What new Annie Lennox CD, you may ask? Well, there's the trouble. So I go up to the counter. Two female employees. One is on the phone, turned away from the counter, the other is, I discern as I approach her, in tears. I say, "Did I come at a bad time?" The young lady is too discombobulated to render any service, or to notice my ironic tone, so her friend grudgingly tears herself away from the phone to find out what this provoking intrusion on her private time is all about. I tell her to just point me in the Annie Lennox direction and she does and I go over to check out the CDs. As I am walking away, the girl returns to her phone conversation and it becomes clear that she is acting as an intermediary in some teenage heartbreak of which the tearful girl is the tragic heroine. I hear her say, "No, I don't think she should talk to him right now. Did you know he pushed her down on her throat?" As I'm walking away I bemusedly think to myself that I can see where this guy is coming from.
But anyway, like I say, there is no new Annie Lennox album and so as plan B I decide to get the EBTG mix album, having heard "good things." Don't ask me where because I don't remember.
So I take it to the counter and manage to buy it while the soap opera is raging to fever pitch. The tearful girl decides she just can't hold it together out here anymore and so she flounces off like something out of a French Novel.
"Bad breakup," her friend tells me.
I say, "Well, when you get to be my age you'll look back and realize it was all utterly meaningless." The girl looks at me with sullen incomprehension as I take my change and leave.
So I put the CD in the player and cycle off down the road and there I am cycling in a state of spiraling demoralization, hitting the forward button again and again as I hit one unbelievably wack track after the other. And then it begins to dawn on me that I've just wasted [good money] and music that I really do get something out of is apparently the work of two people whose taste in music is absolute drek. Never having been a big fan of house, I find myself cycling as if in syrup or making my way through a dense fog. Each track takes the groove to lamer and lamer levels. This compilation should have been titled, "Fuddled music for nowhere people." Finally I give up in disgust and put on John Digweed.
Description of Back to Mine
Latest installment of the successful Back To Mine series. Tracey Thorn & Ben Watt have selected and compiled their interpretation of the ultimate chill out series. Seamlessly mixed by Ben Watt, he invites you into a musical journey though his and Tracey's music collection. 12 tracks. 2001 release.In a market saturated by mix albums of every description, Ultra Records' Back to Mine series glows like a beacon in a fog of mediocrity. The idea is simple: artists are given a free rein to compile sets that are both intuitive and personal to their tastes, resulting in mixtures of postclub textures chiefly designed for horizontal dancing and chilled-out bonhomie. Latest recruits Everything but the Girl take to the format like ducks to water, displaying a musical pedigree that touches on house, hip-hop, and light drum & bass. Although most people have warmed to the group's shift into dance culture, what will surprise is their sublime choice of tune. Kicking off with the drum-machine jazz of DJ Cam's "Friends and Enemies," the moody hip-hop noir of Deadly Avenger's "Bayou," and their own production on Beth Orton's "Stars All Seem to Weep," the mood is stoner-paced but never drab. Follow this with a little stripped-back ambience courtesy of Carl Craig and a rousingly sanguine finale featuring Donny Hathaway's "Someday We'll All Be Free," and you have the makings of a fine night in. --Paul Tierney
