Album Description
Available in:
Soundboy Rock is the fifth studio album by London-based electronica/dance duo Groove Armada which was released on May 4, 2007. The album was released on CD, vinyl, and also as a limited CD package with 2 bonus tracks (listed below). The first single taken off the album was "Get Down", released on 30 April 2007. The second single is "Song 4 Mutya (Out of Control)". The third single is "Love Sweet Sound", and is scheduled for a late 2007 release.
The duo touted the album as their "best ever".
The cover art was created by pixel artists eBoy.
The song "From the Rooftops" contains an uncredited sample of Jesus Loves You's 1989 single called "After the Love" (written by Boy George and Jon Moss).
User Album Review
Eclectic to the extreme is the only way to describe Groove Armada’s latest offering. The fifth studio album from the Cambridge duo is an unpredictable mix. Breakbeats and electro-pop sit side by side, trip hop follows chillout and electro-reggae precedes grime in an album where every track nods to a different musical genre.
But despite the risk of falling between musical stools, Soundboy Rock offers diversity and intrigue while maintaining continuity. Employing some of the biggest names in music, Andy Cato and Tom Findlay have stood by their musical heritage and managed to sound vibrant and of-the-moment. That said, some listeners may find the eclecticism a little excessive.
Simon Lord (Simian Mobile Disco) appears on the danceable “The Things That We Could Share”, while Candi Stanton lends her services to “Love Sweet Sound” and trip hop pastiche, “Paris”. Hot off the garage scene, MC Stush shares her razor sharp vocals on single “Get Down” and again on “Drop That Thing”.
But Tom and Andy remain faithful to chillout; What?s Your Version? recounts images of days-gone-by beach strolls while Save My Soul incorporates trademark sun drenched synths and splitting breakbeat to great effect.
Title track "Soundboy Rock" utilises the distinctive Hard-Fi harmonica courtesy of Richard Archer and "See What You Get", the most breaksy, funky offering, features The Rakes’ frontman, Alan Donohoe - just to keep the indie kids happy.
The only slight anomaly is “Song 4 Mutya (Out Of Control)” featuring ex-Sugababe, Mutya Buena. Pop fans will be dancing off the walls, but the song treads a fine line between catchy-credibility and pop banality.
All bases covered, there is enough to keep most music fans happy although some may complain Tom and Andy have tried a little too hard to please everyone. A band that has always been able to produce hit singles and retain their cool detachment, Groove Armada have created an album that will certainly get people talking.
