What's with the vitriol?,
By Curmudgeon "grantc" (West Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sidetracked (Audio CD)
Once I'd read the setlist my expectations for this mix were not exactly stratospheric, but by the time I'd heard the third track (the awesome Ms Joyce Sims) I was hooked. The mixing is nicely finessed and the track order and choice actually makes sense. The other reviews don't mention there are some recent acts sprinkled through, such as Fever Ray and Kavinsky, and the fact you don't really notice is tribute to the overall conception. It's a fine Nu 80s mix showcasing La Roux's inspirations and influences.

Different,
By Will (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sidetracked (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Renaissance since the 90s and been relentlessly buying their albums for years. The days are gone when I'd buy anything that left the Renaissance stable and I'm now much more picky, these are hard times after all.
When I saw this album, probably like most Renaissance fans the idea of an 'influences' album and La Roux seemed to sit uncomfortably with brand. However thanks to a small microsite on the Renaissance site I had a listen and I was hooked. This is very different to previous releases and the name 'sidetracked' really works well. This is an album that will take you back to some of the more aberrant 80s tracks, and if you like the electro sound of that decade this is a must buy album. If you don't like La Roux, their musical style or the 80s then give this one a wide birth. The tracks that really had me hooked were; Doot Doot by Freur, Big Bubble No Troubles by Ellis, Beggs & Howard, Precious Little Diamond by Fox the Fox (which reminds me of Imagination), Self Machine by I Blame Coco, Big Blue World by Paul Haig. And since buying this album it's been on loop for over a week now, so different is it to the stuff I normally listen to. The album is mixed together really well with enough interesting highs and lows to keep you hooked and it's quite a musical journey you go on. It's a bit like one of those random clubs you end up on a night out with friends that's playing a mixture of eclectic tracks that somehow perfectly complement your mood. I hope this is the beginning of a winning series of albums from top names old and new.
