nenartus Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Mika's Album - Metropolis StudiosTilted The Origin of Love, the Mika’s new album is said to combine elements of melodic classic pop that defined 70’s and 90’s. Mika has described his approach on the album to be more simplistic approach than his previous albums. However, this wasn’t reflected in the percussion order! Were we sent everything from Djun Djun’s, Conga's to our 4.3 Marimba. I’m looking forward to hearing the final album and how our instruments contributed to his latest work. http://www.bellperc.com/article/news_events_2012 That's an interesting article. Thanks! Marimba sounds so beautiful [YOUTUBE]xuw7L_hKJsg[/YOUTUBE] Sounds so "underwaterish", don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Tilted The Origin of Love, the Mika’s new album is said to combine elements of melodic classic pop that defined 70’s and 90’s. I hope this is not true. The 90s were a terrible time for pop music, Mika has even said so himself. That's why Madonna's Ray of Light was such a breath of fresh air, because it was very dance/trance instead of the pop at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Madonna's Ray of Light was such a breath of fresh air, because it was very dance/trance instead of the pop at that time. The 90s was all about one hit wonders, boybands, plus the Spice Girls, Mariah and Celine in pop music. Nothing really characteristic and I didn't like it, either. Well, I liked Blur and the first 2 Oasis albums as at least they were different. I don't know who Mika was referring to from the 90s (he once mentioned the Cardigans ) but I hope it's not Ace of Base or Aqua Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Actually Ace of Base and Aqua were two of the better acts in terms of real pop. Which just goes to show how dire the situation was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzie Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Actually Ace of Base and Aqua were two of the better acts in terms of real pop. Which just goes to show how dire the situation was I think the Ace of Base production team was the hub where several of today's songwriter/ producers of oversimplified pop music learned their skills. So I blame it all on them. Edited March 13, 2012 by suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my mind just clicked. Beck was in the 90's, so as Radiohead, Cardigans, Garbage, No Doubt, The Cranberries, Third Eye Blind. Not classic pop, but what is classic pop nowadays after all? It wasn't that bad after all. Maybe, 50 years from now, someone is going to say Nirvana was a classic pop band, who knows.

Christine Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well let's just say top 40. I never heard Radiohead on top 40 radio in Canada and Beck was a one hit wonder in that respect. I'm going to see the Cranberries next month actually so of course it wasn't all bad but my iTunes is filled with music from the 70s and I have fond memories of hundreds of acts from the 80s. I also like a lot of music from around the time Mika came out so I don't think it's just because I'm :wheelchair: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 @nenartus yes, the Cardigans was definitely one band Mika mentioned as an influence on the next album but he mentioned Beck earlier, too, and I haven't really noticed the connection yet. I actually mentioned Ace of Base as he did speak highly of 'The Sign' once and ever since then I am horrified he might start working with producers from that 'stable'.

And I think he was a little bit in front of his time (i'm not sure if this is the right expression). I think iTunes (or whatever) is going to be filled with music from the 90s in about 20 years, when nostalgia starts to hit kids from 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 10, or something like that, when this song was a hit. He must be nostalgic. It's perfect for kid's parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think iTunes (or whatever) is going to be filled with music from the 90s in about 20 years, when nostalgia starts to hit kids from 90's. You would say "ahead of his time". It's not nostalgia for me. I listen to music from all eras but almost all the 90s stuff is dance/trance because good pop was so limited. Most of the best artists in the top 40 were already well established in the 80s like Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, U2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think EMD fits better for kid's parties. In a way, it is similar to Barbie Girl: brilliant in its idiocy but not exactly the direction I'd like to see Mika to take. I don't know where his idea of 90s pop influence is coming from and in a way I agree with Christine AoB and Aqua were better than most other pop productions of the era but citing 90s pop as an influence in general still sounds rather odd to me.
