Sedatives for 2007 II: Upside Vibrato Bumps
Part II of Sedatives for 2007 is just over an hours worth of mostly rock and hip-hop tracks. It’s got a fine dose of vibrato voices, melodic pop songs, and a couple booty shakers. The last track is a short piano ballad called, “Sonata for a Good Man,” from the German film, The Lives of Others - a highly recommended flick and excellent song. It gripped me during the scene in which it is played. After the main character Dreyman plays it he says, ‘Do you know what Lenin said about Beethoven’s Appassionata? “If I keep on listening to this I won’t be able to finish the revolution.” Can anyone who heard this music – who really heard it – be a bad man?’
