MP3: The Tough Alliance - Leg 7
Not only are The Tough Alliance playing Tack! Tack! Tack! tonight, but they've also got a new album out. It's called "Escaping your ambitions" and it's a new age record. I'm not kidding you at all either - it opens with the sound of lolling ocean waves and seagulls and features tons of synthtones with the attack set so soft, it feels like a feather against your eardrum. No heavy house beats, just a smattering of table. No vocals except for a few short samples. Nope, all you get is the soothing sounds of Swedish new age music. My wife the ex-massage therapist commented that she could imagine doing a session with this as the soundtrack. What's more: I actually really like it. I was surprised at how much I liked TTA's previous EP, but this is ridiculous. What's wrong with me? Am I getting soft?
