A couple of days ago I posted a review of CriBabi's debut CD "Volume" (http://www.chaindlk.net/reviews/reviews.php3?id=349) which you should refer to for more background info about the band before reading this review. This self-titled or untitled four tracks CDS includes "Somebody to Love" (original album version), "You Need Some" (present in two different Adelphi mixes) and "You're So Sweet (Richard's Mix)". The eclectic Japanese/British new-millennium global-pop duo definitely enters the realms of techno/dance here so it's a good catch for the bouncing masses but probably not for those who want to get introduced to the fine mixture of styles that is band's true essence. The exotic and talented CriBabi creature gave one more proof of dynamism allowing for their catchy, flowery and intelligent tunes to be transformed into grooving, powerful and potential dancefloor hits (even thought personally I would have preferred them to explore the d'n'b side of their musical identity more, when it comes down to remixes). But just so people can't accuse them of going commercial the two remind us of their attitude with the closing water-bubbling ambient soundscapes of the "You're So Sweet" experimental remix. All in all this CDS projects an image of CriBabi that is complete, mature and versatile.PS By the way look out for the CriBabi CD giveaway coming up within the next couple of days: you can win 5 copies of their full lenght debut CD "Volume" and 5 copies of this CDS personally signed by both band members!!!
