Twenty Twenty Vision

Complication

Label:

athomas by Andy (quirk) Thomas September 22nd, 2002

Twenty Twenty Vision is one Adrian Lomas, his guitar, and generic midi instruments. Making do with what's available the result isn't too bad. The three tracks here are laid back acoustic affairs with layers of cheap sounding synths and strings. The biggest problem is not the instruments though, a song is a song however interpreted. No, it's just that Adrian is so laid back with his whistful vocals that none of the tracks have any real impact. Think Dirty Vegas backed by a Sega Megadrive and a working knowledge of Simon and Garfunkel. The best track is, oddly, the third, 'Some Silouette' - a charming little tune that pleasantly passes the time. Shame it's so short because it could have made an effective round. Overall there's certainly something there, it just needs a little more definition.
