CD Reviews

Unexpected letdown

Listener | san francisco | 07/17/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Because I still enjoy the undisputable classic "Apricot Morning," I obviously had high expectations for QSO's "Stampede." The QSO tracks I heard on Tru Thoughts compilations have always been solid tracks with great melodies and momentum. That's why it pains me to write that "Stampede" falls short. Yes, it's got some brilliant (pre-released)tracks, but the rest isn't very inspiring. It's as if QSO sort of filled in the blanks with some new songs to justify a full-length release. It's a telling sign that at Amoeba, San Francisco's all-genre vinyl record-store, copies of "Stampede" are easily available but if you're looking for a vinyl copy of "Apricot Morning" . . well, try Ebay and be willing to eat Top Ramen for a while.
One last thing, and maybe it's more of a reflection of the label than the artist, but the liner notes describe how "Stampede" was inspired by old, dusty 45's of funk and soul from decades past. Nice homage, but then it goes on to somewhat predict that future artists will find the same inspiration in "Stampede." This I found a little presumptious and I hope - as a fan of Quantic and Tru Thoughts Records - that this attitude won't guide future releases."
