Is it just me or does anyone else long for the Two Lone Swordsmen of old? Style wise Wrong Meeting II follows on from where their last album finished up, utilising real instruments and vocals on pretty much all of the tracks. For the most part it doesn't work as a lot of the time it ends up sounding like second rate electro rock (which there seems to be a lot of around lately). For me the best track is Shack 54, the only instrumental on the album, which has a good upbeat funky feel to it. By far the worst track is Hey Deborah Anne which sounds like a really bad novelty song. I definitely miss the wonderfully inventive electro sounds of past albums such as Stay Down and A Bag Of Blue Sparks. Now they just sound like their trying to jump on the Klaxons electro rock bandwagon.

Mixed bag
25 July 2007
Format:Audio CD
Although it's not possible to glean anything from their extraordinarily annoying website, TLS is the well travelled producers and DJ's Andrew Weatherall and Keith Tenniswood, and as might be expected, they know how to maintain a groove. The sound tends to a layered affair, instrument tracks draped over a rock steady drumbeat, with Witherall's english affected vocals buried in the middle. He's not a great vocalist, but holds his own and fits well with the music, which is a kind of techno Echo and the Bunnymen type feel, something that you will feel very comfortable with if you loved the late 80's dark wave, like me.
Only part of this works, after the first four songs the energy level comes off and the music gets kind of dense. "Ghosts" is a little too megaphone voice silly to have in the playlist for long, and "Born Bad" has the mumbles, in spite of a clever biting guitar line. "Deborah" is stupid novelty stuff, don't even bother ripping it, why do people record dumb stuff like this anyway? No one's going to listen to it more than once (if that). "Lose Control" returns to the techno dance beat they're best at, but it's not really well focused.
Pretty good if it was an EP, but they really need to remember their DJ days and produce a CD that the dance floor would dig all the way through, because at the half way point of this I'd be looking for the men's room.
