With four new tracks , Brothers In Sound fill your ears with majestic sounds on their third EP . The high tracks are on the A-side. ‘Brothers Go Down’ has evil spurts of flute music, inevitably bringing to mind Jethro Tull, but, however, rocks like the Brothers have never done before. The second track“Lauryn Hill”. Is the winner here though. It’s got soul, a poppin’ triphop beat, and a gorgeously melancholic pedalsteel guitar-twang. Beautiful vocals mount up to a true classic for the year 2000. Dreams are made of this. As announced, the low tracks come on the B-side. While “Mannequin” is a very fragile folk ditty with soft-toned keyboards, “Hey You” is not as confrontationial as it title implies. It’s electronical in a rather squeaky way. But still, “Lauryn Hill” is such a gem, you should be grateful for the track being made available at all.
Track Listing:-
1 Brothers Go Down2 Lauryn Hill
3 Mannequin
4 Hey You

Even though I was already very familiar with the three EPs out of which this album is made up , the sequencing here still makes these dozen old songs plus two remixes sound very fresh. 'Journey Son |
