Disco Montego - Self Titled

Alex Yamakazi - Tuesday, 17 June, 2003 - Print Version

Why God Why did I spend $30 on this? Well the single I saw on Rage U Talkin To Me? was funky. It kind of sounded like early Prince. It was cute, clever and kind of sexy. The music video had girls in tight leather garments. Last year I took a chance on an out of the blue song with Come with You by Millionaire and ended up discovering one of the best albums of the year. Sometimes you have to take a chance... but Disco Montego was a foolish, foolish, stupid purchase. The warning signs were all there. Chaos didn't have it in stock. There was a collaboration on it featuring Katie Underwood. Still, I insisted on purchasing it.

Now that I own it I'm considering giving it away. It's a liability to my image like the Vengaboys album. It could be plucked from my collection at any moment by a visiting friend and all my credibility could be destroyed just like that. POW!

Apart from U Talkin To Me? the album is horribly bland. I'm not sure what genre it would fit into except perhaps "non threatening dance"? It's the kind of music you see drunken gold digging office bimbos dancing to at 11pm at the Establishment. It's the kind of music you hear in the background at W bar. File it next to Jamiroqui's last few albums. This album is to real music what ice block packaging design is to fine art. If you're on Prozac purchase this. It will be something you will really connect with.

Where in Kentucky - Mammoth Cave National Park: Monstrously, and seemingly neverending, sitting under the home ground of Colonel Sanders, the world's largest cave system. Yucatan comes nowhere close. Not even Cocklebiddy poses a threat. No comparison. Small holes looking up at a big fat long one. Sadly, with possible age and lack of food, no minotaurs to be found within the lime walls.
Homebrew Diary - Wheatbeer of misery: If what can turn a foul mood around becomes the harbinger of the foul mood, what happens next? Turn it into a learning experience. And when that learning curve makes a late break over the plate, you'd better start to swing away.
Homebrew Diary - Blackrock IPA + Hops: It doesn't take a big man to admit that he drinks. It takes a big man to get wasted and perform impromptu sermons naked from a balcony; raving upon the ravages of the insanity of stata bylaws and noisy offspring in adjoining arpartments...
