iTunes Review
Being a pioneer the art-rock movement, it only made sense for Yoko Ono to release a collaborative album with some of the genre’s most notable figures of the early 21st century. 2007’s Yes, I’m A Witch called for 16 selected artists to rifle through Ono’s voluminous back catalogue of recordings and pick a song with which to add their own contributions, whether instrumental, vocal or both. Nearly every artist just built on Ono’s intact vocals, starting with Hank Shocklee dressing up "Witch Shocktronica Intro" to sound like a Japanese video game soundtrack from the not-too-distant future before Peaches rebuilds “Kiss Kiss Kiss” with sequenced handclaps and synthesizers sounding like Ono invented electroclash back in 1980. Chan Marshall turns “Revelations” into a spare piano dirge with sublime backing vocal accompaniment before The Polyphonic Spree embeds “You and I” with their signature stamp of upbeat hooray-for-everything sunshine pop. Conversely, Spiritualized’s Jason Pierce exaggerates the sullen tones of “Walking On Thin Ice” with Mo Tucker-inspired, cymbal-free rhythm as guitar feedback squeals, drones and howls.
Customer Reviews
misunderstood and misrepresented.
yokos music can seem at first eclectic on first hearing but i think it is definately worth sticking to as she writes some great alternative rock with tracks like walking on thin ice that were really years ahead and geninely different in sound to its contempories.experimental?maybe..adventurous definately really excited to see tracks by the flaming lips and the criminally underated polyphonic spree on their.
Five Stars for the Death of Samantha
Most of this is pretty much as you'd expect. The kindest thing you can probably say is, er... "it's out there, y'know...". BUT and this is a huge gigantic shiny gold 'BUT' encrusted with all sorts of precious stones... the kind of 'BUT' that any self respecting Egyptian king would happily bury next to themselves in their tomb... there is ONE track on this album that is absolutely fabulous. Go on, skip straight to the Death of Samantha and have a listen. The short clip here isn't enough to do this superb little song justice, but I assure you, it is well worth the money... Download it - you will not be disappointed! One thing. There is zilch info on who this is collaborating with Yoko. Who is it? Anyone know?
Excellent..
This album is fantastic, shes highly underated.
