Among the top ten

How many times have we philosophized about with friends: If you had to choose from your music ten albums, what would they be? Kosheen with RESIST belongs to me without long thinking immediately do so. RESIST was the debut album of the trio Kosheen from England / Bristol in 2001. It resulted from skilled intelligently rhythmically reduced drum n` bass into the mainstream.
Driven by the wonderful voice of the Welsh Sian Evans vocals come at the first "real" play "Hide U" over black and incredibly soulful to with repeated this hearing not to be. All the more great. "Hide U" was also almost a radio hit, while the successor "Catch" has been downplayed as a video on MTV and up. For this to be even more remarkable that the entire video converts this music as well. From brilliant simplicity perfectly complementary.
To prevent this prejudice: the two early hits remain true to the masses about the only, but for the listener the disc by far not. And this follows exactly the way I like it, it can not go on with cribbed pieces or filler. With "cover" it is very relaxed and groovy before "Suicid" with fast, even faster beat binds to the first two. 3:34 whole goes to the piece with "Empty Skies" proceed almost as Part II. But before one threatens überzuschnappen and get tendonitis in the ankle, bringing a "I Want It All" and my personal favorite "resist" resist down. Especially in the chill-out area ...
So the whole album is about sixteen (!) Pieces and a good hour sometimes more, sometimes a few up and down to work without inharmonious. The mixture of reduced rhythm drums, sequences, short and cleverly-placed Sythieschwaden classical concert guitar, connected to one of the greatest female voices of modern popular music and are a nice combination. Rarely listen, it easily straight through without being annoying. Unfortunately, the atmosphere loses the follow-up album. And despite the baroque Cover image: buy and enjoy. Rarely one can relax on such a level of Disco / DnB / Trip hop!
