5.0 out of 5 stars Techno Edge and Politically Incorrect, October 13, 2001

By

This review is from: Gandhi Khan (Audio CD)

Armand has put out another genre defining/defying set of cuts which are all real tasty. "Why Don't You Free Some Time for Me" is the most commercially accessible with its Daft Punkish techno vocals and anthemic redundancies. Armand's renditon of "Girl You Got Me" also rocks, it is a disturbing blend of house hooks and assaultive vocals.

Armand's albums always have a cutting-edge theme not necessarily in synch with the music. Armand's latest manifestation, "Gandhi Khan, the disco Don from Pakistan" was released on October 2 and contains many Middle Eastern music samples and spoofs about the Pakistani rapper. Forget about "Benny and the Jets" or "Bridge over Trouble Waters", this CD gets 6 stars for political untimeliness. I am sure that Armand likes it that way.

This CD, although different from anything else I have heard from Armand, is absoulutley wonderfull. Anybody who can tell me that they have heard something like this before is crazy. This shows the creativity used while having fun making an album. Keep up the good work Armand, We love you

5.0 out of 5 stars Gandhi Khan is superb...., October 16, 2002

...For the few actual songs it has. I will say this:
I would buy this CD for nothing more than "Why Can't You Free Some Time?". That cut has got me spellbound and I totally love it the way the electric guitar was sampled over and over in a loop ala Trance style. It reminds one of Darude's "Sandstorm" except with a Talkbox-vocals to boot. Call it what you want, that song, if nothing else, is reason enough to buy this CD. And to those other peeps criticising AVH, stop crying! he's an artist - appreciate his work.
