In a new, regular (possibly) meg.ie feature, album reviews are now going to be interactive. Using ground-breaking ‘several paragraphs’ technology YOU the reader will be able to interact with the review itself, IN YOUR MIND.
In this first interactive review, meg readers must decide which is the truthful album description. What japes you’ll have trying to decide, invite your friends round and make a night of it! “It’s the first review Gerald” “No Rupert you’re wrong, it’s the second review you asshole!” Fun guaranteed.
UNKLE’s fifth album ‘Where Did The Night Fall’ sees the electronic duo take a massive step away from their experimental roots. Once the darling’s of the indie scene they’ve decided alternative doesn’t pay the bills and gone for the big payday. Their fifth album is littered with europop classics that seem destined to make UNKLE big on the teen disco scene. Factoring in the ringtone sales, they are going to be big – Basshunter big. Standout tunes include ‘Girl’, ‘Oh Girl’ and ‘Girl you’re my girl’. Their trademark in guest vocalists remains, there are great collaborations with Chipmunk, Akon and the ratty looking white guy from N-Dubz.

The UK two-piece have stuck to their tried and trusted method of making ground-breaking, dark electronic music with plenty of guest vocalists. The star wattage has been dialled down in the guest department, possibly so as not to overshadow the tunes or possibly because, like me, they lost their phone, and with it all their contacts. It’s not a album that’s going to bring new fans in from the cold, but there’s enough greatness here to convert anyone who stumbles into their tent over the festival season (including Electric Picnic). Standout track is ‘Falling Stars’ with regular contributor Gavin Clark. Now you the reader decides… (Big Brother voice)
