Star You Star Me - Simple Things FLAC download

Very average album re-released on a once great label currently going through a very average period. Although some of these tracks are quite enjoyable, overall the album just doesn't push the sound forward enough, instead opting to be derivative...of derivatives. Half of the tracks here sound lifted from disco revivalists Metro Area (the best of which is perhaps "Night Riders"); the other half come from a number of likely places - Unai ("Simple Things"), Les Rhythmes Digitales ("Burden"), and the occasional flash of acid house ("Parkinkatu"). Vocals here and there prevent total boredom, but all in all, don't expect another Luomo.
