Well...giving the lp a second listen as I post.
I enjoyed the lp more than "Saturn Returnz" - which I haven't listened to in decades really. I don't recall hearing much about "Sine Tempus" when it was apparently, originally released as a download on the Headz site.. my attentions were elsewhere, obviously. I don't mind the vocals over everything - it is a Goldie lp after all. AND, the tunes could be just fine without vocals, which is a good thing. LOVE the ending "Truez Stringz" orchestral piece. I got a bit bored if only because people do so much more in 2018 for electronic music albums. The lp doesn't sound dated tho. The delivery is still very much in line with anything current, imo.
At the same time, in current climates, so much has changed in references, production, and influences in music overall. With as many ideas as Goldie & collaborators are known to bring, perhaps a dnb specific album is a bit
"safe" at times, particularly in 2018 - just my opinion. In a way, some producers / artists defy genre specific boundaries, as people should. I think Goldie could make a pop orientated record - outside of dnb - and I'd listen to it if it caught my interests. The musicality and ability to crossover has always been there, right?. I like the Tech Itch qualities to the begining half of the lp, you can hear Caro's contributions in the details in the harder tunes.
As with any Goldie lp, were there remixes? My fave quality of previous Goldie lp's is any remixes that may / may have emerged. I may even prefer a great remix to Goldie originals at times.
"Sine Tempus", a bit more cohesive and to the point than "Saturn Returnz". I approve of that.
