Rated 5/5
Review by scoundrel Jun 30, 2004 (edited over 5 years ago)
Doctor Rockit’s second album, Indoor Fireworks, shows the same interest in electro-funk as The Music of Sound, but with more focus and diversity. The squealing funk of “Roman Candle” gives way to the breaks and lightness of “You Are The…” “Hymnformation” is a screed against big media in the form of a hymn. My favorite track, however, is “Café de Flore,” with its guitar work, delicate synths and gorgeous accordion line. It’s the cheapest trip to France you’ll ever take. “Eau D’Erik” mixes in some watery sounds in, while “Summer Love” is a little piece of pop that’ll, sadly, never make it to the airwaves. Same with “The Whistler,” which is country-western done weird. There’s also some inherent sadness on “I Met Somebody Else,” which comes to full blossom (after the sounds of someone getting into his car) on the dolorous “Song With Words.” A beautiful and complex album.
