Search - Gooding :: Factory Blue

So far, best album I've gotten this year

04/04/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Factory Blue is the soundtrack to an unrealized film script. The tried-and-true premise of music for nonexistent films is one that can be really pretentious in the wrong hands, but brilliant in the correct ones. Suffice it to say that Gooding doesn't fall onto the pretentious side. This all-instrumental album has a little bit of a lot of different types of music, but manages to transcend and defy genres, as opposed to just merely mix them. This is one of the best all-instrumental albums of all time, right up there with Phylr's Contra La Puerta, Peter Gabriel's Passion, Barry Adamson's Moss Side Story, Lab Report's Terminal and Delerium's Syrophenikan. Get it."

THE BEST ALBUM OF 1999

"When I saw Gooding in concert, during the Factory Tour at the Continental in New York City, I was blown away. Not only was it one of the best shows I have seen all year it was an experience. Once I bought the CD, I was even more amazed. For anyone who wants to listen to something different and new, this is definately the one to get. It IS the best CD of 99."
