Kosheen: Resist (Music On Vinyl 180g, Colored Vinyl) Vinyl 2LP

After hearing "Hide U" a couple of years ago, I must confess I wasn't really tempted to listen to the rest of the CD. But then a friend told me she was curious after listening to a bunch of breath-taking remixes from DJs like Satoshi ("Hungry", check it out if you have the chance). So I got it from Amazon as a gift for her, and of course I could't resist giving it a try. OMG I was shocked since the very first time I played it.It has a blend of different genres, so don't waste your time trying to figure out whether it's D&B or not. Just enjoy it! Each song has astonishing vocals which cannot be compared to any other singer (ok, some songs may remind you of EBTG but that's it!) Needless to say, I got a copy for myself and I'll get Kokopelli wishing it is as good as this =)

Starting with the intriguing title & cover image, followed by the stunning interior photos of stuffed creatures in nature dioramas, and rounded out by the static stones of sampling flowed over by the elastic voice of Bristol diva Sian Evans, Kosheen is an aural & visual experience not to be missed.The melancholy of "Let Go" and the snarkiness of "Cruelty" transcend all music label genres of drum & bass, electronica, and intelligent pop. It is the melodies that rule here, not the protools.If you like Dido, Slowpho, Olive and especially Beth Gibbon's of Portishead's solo CD, "Out of Season," then you will love Kosheen.

my ony complaint, is that one of my favorite tracks "repeat to fade" is not on the disc. that is the main reason i bought it - but don't get me wrong it is absolutely wonderful!! i love the cd, but I really miss the supposed track#10 (on mine it is hungry) i went to the kosheen site, and apparantly there are several versions of this album. so, if you like that track as much as i do, be very careful when you scan the song titles.this is the first time something like this has happened to be.otherwise, i think "resist" is pure magic and in my book - an absoulte work of art.

Amazon has asked me to review my recent purchase, so I will. This album bears many trappings of the so-called "drum 'n' bass" and "trip-hop" genres. It is, however, not as disjointed or frenetic as, for example, Squarepusher, or nearly as dark as Portishead. The songs are quite catchy and melodically astute--they are basically pop songs set to a much faster paced beat than generally gets radio play. The lyrics may be a bit dramatic for you, but if you enjoy dramatic lyrics (I do) then you will probably enjoy this album. I got it in high school and it was stolen, and since then has gone out of print, so I was most pleased to find it used and CHEAP on Amazon, and it conjured up so many memories of that time when I was one big raging hormone. If, by the way, you are one of those people who needs to get everything that has come out of Bristol then you certainly can't neglect this record, as it is one of the more accessible albums from that scene. Good day.

Kosheen is awesome. Sample some of their stuff on You Tube -- Avalanche, Guilty, Hide U, Cover. If you like them, go ahead and get this album, Kokopelli, and Guilty. All three are great. So are their subsequent albums, but those three are excellent.

I love Sian's voice. I love this CD. I think the drum and bass craze has been gone for awhile, so when I heard it with fresh ears, I found much to appreciate. Excellent production, catchy songs, and her expressive voice. Love it.

item arrived nicely packaged and in good condition, the CD is one of my favorites and is sort of hard to find since its an import.

Thank you! Fab 10/10

Bellissimo CD in versione remastered che mi fa ricordare il gioco su cui ho scoperto la canzone "Hide U" cioè FIFA 2003.

...die CD ist zwar schon paar Monde auf dem Markt, aber wer gern mal Musik fernab des Mainstreamgedules hören will, der kann hier getrost zugreifen. Vorausgesetzt der Musikstil gefällt einem.

Excellent!

Voila un C.D à posséder absolument dans sa discothèque personnellepour moi il aurait du s'appelerSlip & Slide (Suicide)...

コシーン最高ー！て感動しちゃうよ。ドラムンベースって一定の間隔でリズムが流れてるイメージがあったけど違うんだな～って思った!!　クールありゃノリノリありゃムーディーありゃ。個人的にはノリのイイのが好きだからスイサイドがオススメ(^0^)
