5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Luomo, December 14, 2010

I have to disagree with the more negative reviews and say that I love this album. It's not as dance-floor oriented as the other Luomo albums. Very soulful, a bit more freeform and experimental. It has the soundscape elements that I love about Vladislav's other work balanced with the more vocal Tech-House style of Luomo.

I would rank this as Luomo's best album.

I must say I was plesantly supprised to find a new Luomo cd - ironicly when i started to wonder what he was up to. With that said, this cd is absolutely everything I was hopeing for; just about.

To start, this CD sounds a bit like "The Present Lover", but in actuality I was hopeing it would. That sexy mystery singer is on the majority of this cd and as expected, her vocals are mind blowing. Literally every track on this cd is phenominal and lives up to Luomo's sultry, classy sound he is known for (atleast on this alias). The perfect cd for a lazy afternoon, or really anything. If you like Luomo, this cd belongs in your collection. Im almost tempted to say its just a tad not as good as his previous works, but whenever I listen to this cd in all its magnificience I am thrusted into a state of confusiion and bliss again. You will find yourself humming tracks from this cd without even realizeing it. So ill let you decide. But rest assured, this CD belongs in your collection. Simply amazing.

And whoever the singer is, she needs a nobel peace prize or something. Her vocals are just plain sexy.

This review is from: Paper Tigers (Audio CD)

Luomo, the housier side of Vladislav Delay, comes back for a third round with Paper Tigers, and even though he steers away from the 80s pop of The Present Lover, he doesn't totally abandon it either. The title track starts off on a spacey, glitch-dub tip. The house is deeper, although not quite as deep as on Vocalcity. "The Tease is Over" comes on like a torch song, while "Cowgirls" has a light, spry touch to it. But more than anything, I'd disappointed by the blandness of this album. It had none of the depths of emotion of Vocalcity or even the cheesy fun of The Present Lover. Indeed, it just feels a bit empty. Fine to listen to, but empty nonetheless.
