Dan’s CD Belch: Onetwo
Onetwo , Instead is a shiny CD that was released into the wilderness today. If you are of a certain age you will remember the two people who make up Onetwo (one word, two people) as they were around in the 80s (oh yes, a most underrated time) as key parts of Propaganda (mentalist arty but fantastic German synth lunacy) and OMD (shorthand name for a rather good synth band with a very long pretentious name, the other one of which made Atomic Kitten, whoops) as they are Claudia Brucken and Paul Humphreys. I am and have always been a bit of a Claudia Brucken geek, although I think I have lost some of my old seven inches (but I do not need those spam emails to help me regain them, thanks) as I used to have too many records. Anyway, the album is a folow-up to that EP they did ages ago (featuring the song Cloud Nine, which is included here) and it’s pretty much what you would imagine if you know what you’re looking for: Pop songs without too much mentalism in a synthy modern way. Nothing surprising, just a very good solid collection of songs that I like very much. Sometimes that is all I need. If you like the idea of listening to an album by ‘half a psychotic ABBA’ then this is very recommended. Or I could just be a geek.
This isn’t quite the actual CD cover as I wanted to combine the graphics with the group shot. So I did.
