In all honesty, I didn't really enjoy the group's Polydor Records (Universal Music) sophomore effort The Spell
nearly as much as their debut This is Alphabeat
from EMI. The second album bordered a bit too much on camp to be taken seriously in my opinion, whereas the first album was just the right balance between camp and proper pop. But this right here, is good stuff. The music takes a bit more of a supporting role behind lead female vocalist Stine Bramsen, who sounds solid. Four minutes of 90sliciousness.

I thought "The Spell" was brilliant. Great early 90s dance sound and super catchy and infectuous.
ReplyDeleteI love the album, and I really like this cover. Still don't think we are going to see a North American release, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this! Can't wait to take a listen when I get home from work. I loved Alphabeat's debut, but like you, I was more than a little disappointed by their second. I wish they were opening for Gaga here in the US. Although I'm kind of glad they aren't, because then I'd kick myself even more for not being able to get tickets!
ReplyDeleteAhh! This track is the best!!! I just hate the fact that Alphabeat has no proper distribution in North America. We get their releases far too late and this track even though it is meant for novelty only, isn't even available here digitally:(
