broadway project 'the vessel'

A second slice of brooding, melancholic psychedelia.

Dan Berridge’s darkly magnificent sampledelica gets a new twist, courtesy of the vocals of Richard Palmer. Vessel’s brooding, melancholic swirl will appeal to those swayed by the grainy melodramas of Portishead, though Berridge’s sonic alchemy and Palmer’s keening vocal acrobatics resist comparison to anyone else. Sometimes the material seems too insubstantial to take the emotional weight that Palmer and Berridge laden it with, but for the most part their opulent, romantic noise is as emotionally compelling as ever. (9/10) Pete Marsh 01 August 03

Broadway Project – The Vessel, released 04 August 03 on Memphis Industries.
