Search - Alphabeat :: Beat Is

2010 release from the Danish Pop/Dance outfit, the follow-up to their enormously successful This Is Alphabeat album. The Spell has its eyes dead set on the horizon ahead and is full of great songs built on properly affecting retro-Pop styles. You'll have heard the Mantronix-like Funk-Pop of first single 'The Spell', but there's the slippery Filter-House of 'DJ', the piano-riff-meets-speaker-rattling bassline of 'Hole In My Heart' and the R&B touched, Downtempo reach of 'Q&A'. You might go for 'Chess' with its fantastic pitch-bend vocal samples rarely heard since 1989. Right near the end of the record is the epic, euphoric bliss of 'The Right Thing' where a Black Box style big piano screamer tumbles down a huge great chasm of a breakdown. No need for a remix: everything you'll ever need is right here! Universal.
