Just received the following text from my big brother;
FUTUROLOGY NOTES
1.Futurology
Anthemic. Memorable lyrics and melody line. Interesting production.
8/10
2.Walk Me To The Bridge
Great production. Strong 80’s feel. Nice Bass.
8/10
3.Let’s Go To War
Like the drama in the chorus. Bit flat melodically.
7/10
4.Next Jet To Leave Moscow
Nice feel. A bit boring.
6/10
5.Europa Geht Durch Mich
Whole album should have been like this. Should all have been in German. Very catchy, great Krautrock feel.
9/10
6.Divine Youth
Nice interplay of vocals. Haunting feel. Beautiful melody. Bit boring overall.
7.5/10
7.Sex, Power, Love and Money
Like the energy. Dirty feel. Catchy melody. Ultimately outstays its welcome.
7.5/10
8.Dreaming a City
Proper Low feel. Great.
9/10
9.Black Square
Doesn’t leave much impression.
5/10
10.Between the Clock and the Bed
Nice production. First half a little bland and doesn’t leave much impression. Second half takes it to a different level and redeems the track. Great closing harmonies and melody.
7/10
11.Misguided Missile
Interesting bass line and production feel. Overall boring and doesn’t stick.
6/10
12.The View From Stow Hill
Good production. Nice feel. Again, a little boring.
6/10
13.Mayakovsky
“I got blisters on my fingers” ????
Nice instrumental but not as good as DAC.
7/10
OVERALL RATING: 71%
Fantastic in parts, intriguing in others and overall a very interesting listen.
Disappointing that the Germanic feel was not explored more. Too many tracks, a smaller number of cuts with a more consistent feel could have tipped the balance. Strays a little close to Lifeblood-style blandness at times.
Very good overall, not a masterpiece but definitely impressive.
