alex lloyd - black the sun
australian talent - sometimes its good (kylie, midnight oil) sometimes its bad (angry anderson, inxs). this is definitely in the first section.
alex has crafted a very mature sounding interesting pop disc.
using a variety of guitars and studio trickery this sometimes has a garbage with male vocals appeal, with a dash of peter gabriel, unfortunately for all the production talent the songs are not strong enough to warrant passionate dedication. too many of the songs are in that midtempo, a bit more variety would be nice. having said that this has some very nice sonic touches, and repeated listening pays the listener back.
