Velvet Vimoz

Category: Trance
Album: Boy

Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive. Repetitive.

Annoying, isn’t it? Well, it’s more annoying when it’s the word “boy” being repeated about 7,000 times. “I wanna be a boy boy boy boy…” Is this really a pertinent use of vocals for this music? The one track to use vocals has to use them in this pointless capacity? Why must dance music throw in vocals that exist as nothing more than a representation of how pointless and repetitive the song actually is? Velvet Vimoz would be better suited to stray from this in the future.

They should stick with what makes up the other 5 tracks, typically generic but entirely servicable electronic dance music that could easily pass as background soundtrack for a movie or TV show or be background music for a video game. Either would suit its style and tempo… Whether it’s the end credits of a show on TechTV or the latest Japanese fighting game, either would be pleasing enough. But they should strictly forbid the usage of anymore vocals to harass their listeners.

They’ve included a video of “Boy” in all its glory glory glory glory glory glory on this enhanced CD, but I wouldn’t recommend actually watching it.

Velvet Vimoz may be skillful enough in the creation of its music, but it does nothing more than stick to the same formulaic electronica structures that have been grazed over thousands of times already.
