Madness - Keep moving

Quinto disco de los Madness y ultimo editado con la formacion original (antes de su rencuentro en 1992) El disco se aleja del sonido "nutty" original de la banda para incorporar elementos del pop y el new wave. Este cambio quizas haga que este disco resulte un poco extraño para algunos amantes del 2 tone, personalmente, considero este disco simplemente la evolucion natural de Madness, que supo como no caer en el estancamiento y reciclarse sin perder su identidad

The Bullets - Sweet Misery

Con miembros de bandas de la talla de Irie beats o the Allenators y contando con el mismisimo Roger Rivas (The Aggrolittes) como fundador y teclista, nos llegan The Bullets con un sonido que se caga la perra

Y que conste que cuando vi el disco pense "buf, otro clon de los Aggrolittes, de este rollo que tanto se lleva ahora" pero NO. Ni de palo vamos. Cierto es que recuerdan a ellos, pero creo que eso resulta inevitable si contamos que tiene su mismo teclista

En este disco, la voz soul del cantante se mezcla suavemente con instrumentales al mas puro estilo Pama que a su vez, se sazonan dulcemente con el teclado del gran señor Rivas. Sin duda ninguna, el disco de skinhead reggae del año. Y de lejos
