Maxim Mag Reviews Tribute Album UK Mens magazine, Maxim reviews a new album titled "If I Was Prince" in its latest issue. Looks like another tribute album of sorts. Anybody know anything about this release? The record label is mentioned in the mag itself but I'm typing this from work at the moment! The cover art looks like a sort of distorted Lovesexy sleeve. The review goes like this: (the writer gives it four stars out of five).
"Let's not kid ourselves - tribute albums invariably end up being humiliating experiences for all concerned. But not this time. Recruiting the coolest merchants of underground electronica is a decent start, with Simian sharing space with Berliner Peaches and the underrated Hefner. Better still, Broadway Project, aka Worthing's Dan Berridge, donates 'The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker' to experimental jazz science, and Blue States turn 'Alphabet Street' inside out, giving it a touch of Burt Bacharach. The kind of sideways approach that even the symbol himself would be proud of." | |
