Tim: If you get your expectations from song titles, the first line here will BLOW YOUR MIND.
Tom: Well, yes, that’s certainly not what I expected. Neither is the odd chorus-vocoder effect, but it’s certainly a style choice that fits the track.
Tim: Lune’s Swedish and has been away for quite a while, and she’s back with a song that is basically all about that instrumental, so much so that during the minute or so following it going away the first time I did get genuinely quite bored.
Tom: Same here: and I’m not sure that instrumental’s good enough to justify everything that builds up to it. The melody’s basic — which can work, don’t get me wrong, but here it just seems to fall flat.
Tim: The vocal parts on their own are okay – pleasant enough sound, but nowhere near enough to hang a song on. And however good that instrumental may be, you’ve got precisely sixty seconds of it, in two big chunks. Give us more of it, or perhaps even just break it up a bit, and this might work. As it is: I don’t want to be thinking “look, is that good bit coming back soon or what?”.
Tom: I’m not even sure it’s the good bit.
