Music For Money - Music For Money (CD, Erektik, Progressive/experimental)
Sometimes looks can be deceiving. At other times names can be deceiving. In this case, the latter is true. While you might initially think a band called Music For Money would create sellout crap, the exact opposite is true (i.e., this disc actually contains music that is obviously not made for money). Music For Money is the quartet consisting of Myriam Boucher, Pierre-Luc LeCours, Jeremie Jones, and Dominique Lague. These folks record interesting progressive compositions that recall some of the more artsy British bands from the 1970s...mixed with some of the more artsy soundtrack recordings of the past few decades. Suffice to say, this self-titled album is not a predictable simple listen. The songs are complex, adventurous, and rely heavily on cool technological tricks. It's hard to sum this one up in a few words. But we can say that the more we spin this one the better it sounds. Nine fine reflective cuts including "Redemption," "Plaisir," "Hymne a la Fuite," and "Novembre." Wonderfully cool and unusual stuff... (Rating: 5+/6)
