Classixx - Hanging Gardens ALBUM REVIEW

Get into this new album from Classixx if you're looking for a series of breezy dance tracks with a vintage vibe, taking a load of cues from synth pop and new wave music.

What did you think of this album? Love it? Hate it? Why? What should I review next, eh?

FAV TRACKS: HOLDING ON, ALL YOU'RE WAITING FOR, SUPERNATURE, I'LL GET YOU

LEAST FAV TRACK: A STRANGERS LOVE

CLASSIXX - HANGING GARDENS / 2013 / INNOVATIVE LEISURE / HOUSE, SYNTH POP, SYNTH FUNK

6/10

Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?

[Brendo]

I have to disagree with Anthony ..IMO  'A Stranger Love' was the highlight of the album.

[swordsinging]

The track Hanging Gardens is killer. Tchill teaser buildup to the pumping dance beat gets me exploding on the dance floor. Love the siren celebratory synthetic soaring overhead.
A real over the top experience to me.
Also a great tribute to Fleetwood Macs 7 Wonders track which is a fantastic studio production IMHO

[mporvaznik]

I like everything about your new outro sequence except the "only the strong subscribe" part. Also, good review, keepin my eye on you.

[DivDavD]

I really love the LP! I agree with the filler tracks and the reverb, they don't stick out as much as they could have. I will be spinning this one a lot throughout Summer!

[DemographicsBlog]

I really liked this album so much, just because it's a breath of fresh air when it comes to "disco" in edm. I would say this is more indie electronic. I got to see Classixx about 2 years ago, and they did not disappoint! This album is an AMAZING dance record that should be in everyone's music library!

[vanilla-plus]

I'm really digging all the electronic reviews :D When it comes out in June, I highly recommend reviewing the long-awaited debut from Studio Killers! The singles leading up to it have been killing me.

[jaKthemighty]

'All your waiting for' belongs on EVERY dancefloor across the world... I can't get over how epic that track is.

[scttllch]

I must say I am enjoying yr new outro send off speech you have incorporate into yr videos recently.

[GooGuGajoob]

There's a new Karnivool record coming out soon. If you don't know them, I really suggest listening to Sound Awake. That's all I ask Anthony, P.S. you're very VERY AWESOME!!

John Roberts - Fences

It's an odd fish but might be worth a spin if you have the time. Really liking that Moody Coup album, thanks for the heads up on it. *double thumbs*

[trevorjohnson]

It's been a rocky road, but i'm learning to accept your opinion on Trouble Will Find Me and looking forward to building a new healthy relationship with you.

[carlmanu]

Hey Tony, can you do a review of Australian alt/prog Karnivool? They only have two albums out -themata and sound awake- but they certainly have a nice blend worth checking out. Greetings from Miami, Fl.

[Blekschvart]

do crass - the feeding of the five thousand ! i know it's a classic album but crass is in my opinion one of the most underated punkbands of the mid80's

[InterpolFL]

I've got to say the new track from BoC is causing me to salivate in anticipation of this forthcoming LP.

[outbacknoir]

Was loving this on the first few listens. Just refreshingly intelligent pop/dance music. Really feeling it. it has worn on me pretty quickly though. At least better than RAM.

[AdamLloyd]

Light to decent 8 for me. I felt that it served as a nice genre parallel to Daft Punk's latest album and had just as much substance. In fact, in many ways it's a far more enjoyable listen for me

[Clembo]

There are 5 or 6 songs that you take away from this album that are, pardon the pun, instant classics. However, there are 6 or 7 others that leave you feeling you wanted more to come of it.

If this was an EP that included tracks 2, 3, 9, 10, and 12 then it would be the best EP to come out this year.

Pharmakon! Abandon!
Yeah, it's very early Swans-ish, but it's awesome.

[abacaxinnit]

Its time for BOARDS OF CANADA! 7 years of wait about to be over, need your thoughts on this one fantano.

Culprate - Colours
I know it was released quite a while back, but its god damn brilliant
