Why dont we just all put a pic on the wall, and throw darts at him for crying out loud. Granted he makes make minimal efforted tracks right now, from a production point of view that is purely obvious. But let us totally not forget his stuff from 1998 to 2001. Anyone denying those years of his career with Redhead.............
Well, it`s only this particular release that is getting darted, not bailey in general.
My beef is that I know the man can rock the show. So why isn`t he? Why accept or make anything from the mindset of mediocrity?
This record, is beige wallpaper for an ideal home.
Techno isn`t pop music, but in some ways, productions like this water down the meaning behind techno.
Sure, there`s nothing wrong with making something, that has mass appeal, chords, a bit of funk, a bit of groove etc
But it can be done with an original approach, and genuine spirit and soul.
Earlier bailey stuff (especially the redhead time) hit the right level of creativity and commercial appeal.
