Society announces the release of Melancholydisco 2 by Viola, a Finnish
duo of Riku Karkkainen and Tommi Forsstrom celebrating their tenth
anniversary in 2009. The first Melancholydisco in 2005 featured
versions of tracks from Viola's debut album Tearcandy (2004) by such
artists as Boys of Scandinavia, Iconcrash and Verneri Lumi of
Rinneradio. This second installment includes re-shaped songs from
Viola's subsequent albums Anything Can Stop Us (2005) and Wonderabilia
(2007). Melancholydisco 2 has four brand new electronic Viola songs and
six remixes from various artists.
I decided I'm really bad
(meaning too lazy and undisciplined) in writing record reviews,
especially in English, but I might give a few words about this album
after receiving the promo in mail yesterday and having time to give it
a couple of listens already. The opener, 'The Hardest Hit', is
potentially the biggest, erm, hit on this compilation; a track in the
best 80s Pet Shop Boys/Bobby O./hi-energy/Italo/gaydisco vein featuring
"orchestra hit synthesizer sound". Of the rest of three new Viola
songs, 'We Owe Love' also holds dancefloor potential; the mentioned Pet
Shop Boys (with a touch of 'Blue Monday'-era New Order) probably
providing one major pointer to those uninitiated with Viola's
bittersweet indie-disco sound.
Also remixers here seem to
represent the current Who's Who of Finnish indie and underground dance
scene: Hannulelauri, Turku's "chiptune ninjas" Videovalvontaa, Regina,
I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper (with a dub-wise sound here),
22-Pistepirkko's sons Black Audio and Kiva a.k.a. Teemu Korpipaa (who
has also mixed Viola's own tracks on this album) with a trancey
"stadium house" sound.This is Viola's second melancholydisco, enjoy & dance!  | Ссылка: | | http://narod.ru/disk/4457324000/V-M2.rar.html |
