Reviews & Discussion
When Danny DeVito commissioned Irish producer David Holmes to provide the score for the film Out of Sight, he chose wisely. Holmes's gritty, urban dance music, first exposed on the sadly underrated The Film's Crap Let's Slash the Seats, is perfect for evoking scenes and atmospheres, yet it's interesting enough to stand on its own. For this album, Holmes and a friend wandered the streets of New York, collecting voices and noises; Holmes then assembled them into an imaginary soundtrack with the structures of modern dance music and the sonic qualities of rock and dub reggae. Let's Get Killed is a disjointed cut-up session that brings the grit and excitement of city life into your living room without leaving a drop of blood.
Rodney Yates is the crowning jewel of this fantastic,ground-breaking album and definitely ranks very high among my all-time faves.A small trivial thing:in the Aphex Twin remix of "Journey" from 26 Mixes for Cash,good old AFX uses the melody from Rodney Yates in great effect and really elevates an already splendid track.It`s not a reworking(something that I suspect many of us would die for),but you can listen to a great piece of music in another context.
Awesome inventive album that is certainly a dance music classic & one of the best albums of the 90s. Just have to say a word about the track Rodney Yates which is an absolutely fanatstic piece of future funk, which has the most amazing funky zylophone which is a certain head nodder, foot tapper & all round groover - never fails to please & is just a brilliant classic. I would love to have this on 12 inch but unfortunately he never released it as a single or as part of an EP, damn!
