- Electronica project The All Seeing I
including Jarvis Cocker (Pulp), Philip Oakey (Human League) and basically
DJ Parrot, Honer and DJ Buckel present with Pickled
Eggs & Sherbet a lush debut that does not set any remarkable
impression in one's brain.
While the album includes two UK hits, "Walk Like a
Panther" and trip hop track "Beat Goes On", it does not
tower above those two songs that are not that great as well to be honest,
at least it is "Beat Goes On" that isn't worth it to be a hit.
"Beat Goes On" - as the name already says - presents one
permanent drumbeat that does not stop throughout the entire song, covered
up by a poor bass line and Tiana Krahn's thin singing, including only one
line: "And the beat goes on." Wow.
Most of the tracks sound entirely appropriate for the chosen
vocalist. "1st Man in Space" is sung by Philip Oakey and sounds
like Human League. Jarvis Cockers performs as well - actually he is the
major performer - and all in all the entire album sounds more like a bad
copy of Pulp. Instead of exploring new avenues with this project and the
three DJs (Parrotm Honer and Buckel) Cocker has stuck with his familiar
themes of life and so it is not something that new.
Pickled Eggs & Sherbet has its interesting aspects for sure,
and "Walk Like a Panther" is a fine song indeed, but the most
part of it is just nondesript.
