LOST WITHOUT CAUSE. - Take Back Everything CD.
Lucid Cut Productions Luton and Outhouse studios Reading. 2011.
This C.D. comes in a card wallet with an enlarged bar code design and band logo with the track listing on the back and on the disk itself. Simple but classy in a minimalist kind of way!
Ive been hearing some good reports from bands that have used the Lucid Cut studios in Luton and what we have hear, is a slice of a well produced recording from them.
Hitting the floor running and what a fantastic opening to TRIGGER. Not knowing what to expect of this bands sound, it was a bit of a shock to hear such a great vocal style. Clear, sung well and a great sounding singing voice, it has backing vocals and a noticeably good beat. Also, they know how to write a stingingly good chorus.
They seem to have all the quality of a household name thats signed and appear on T.V. music stations and radio daily LOST MY MIND is no exception with its pop rock, widely accessible sound, but seems rather drum and vocal orientated with guitars taking a secondary place.
LOOSER meaning loosing her, in the case of this song, about keeping your loved one, as you know how youd feel without her. As with all tracks, it possesses a great definite tune and a fast pacey rhythm with enthusiastic drumming incorporating enough stick to build a wicker man!
YOU WONT KNOW allows you to rest your feet and recover in a reflective calm middle part after a usual pacey start. Its a song that has an epic feel that Im sure the band must be quite proud of, even the drumming stands out, making this for me one of the strongest contenders of the C.D.
An exceptionally well played acoustic and vocal only track SENSE ends the five main songs. Its a soothing crooning ride but an enjoyable listen.
Its over to Outhouse studios in Reading now for two additional bonus tracks starting with COME ON with full band sound after the previous tracks acoustic interlude. I think the drumming sounds a bit mundane and played by numbers at times, just tapping a logical beat to the song while in other sections youre given added flourishes and speedy bursts punctuating the rhythm with an integral skill.
SITUATION is a rip-roarer and great track to end on. Dark, moody, brooding guitars add to the atmosphere of the songs rhythm. I think Lost Without Cause never sound more professional when the backing vocals kick in, making a wall of great quality sounding music at its best. The song is for me, another favourite with lots of twists and turns, lending a certain excitement to the music, emphasising my overall thought as with all tracks how this bands quite innovative grasp of style completely fail on all levels to bore the listener!
