Music Review: Deavid Soul - Sparkling Music - Page 2

For all the songs that feel similar in style, one song really surprised me. “House City Rockers” is the rockin' cousin of Fatboy Slim's “The Rockafeller Skank.” It takes a 1950's surf rock sample and turns it into something wild and fun. What makes this song really good is the way that it's done. The song doesn't just take the sample and put some modern beats behind it. Other fast-paced rock samples are mixed in too and a drum machine isn't used. The result is a dance song that actually, somehow, keeps the integrity of that style of rock intact.

If you are a fan of techno or dance music (or a fan of Jet Grind Radio's soundtrack), then Sparkling Music is worth a download. There are definitely noteworthy tracks beyond those from Jet Grind Radio and it's certainly an album that will cheer you up when you're in a bad mood.

As for getting the album from JapanFiles.com, it's very easy. Like a growing number of digital music stores, JapanFiles.com offers songs in MP3 format (192 kbps) with no DRM. It's completely legal with prices comparable to iTunes and since Sparkling Music is out-of-print in Japan, it's pretty much the only way to get the album.
