review: sugizo | "the edge" & "miranda" (2011)

the edge & miranda
2011

Two new digital singles from the inimitable Sugizo, one perfectly suited for the Cowboys and Aliens end credits -- a mix swirling modern atmospherics and a simple, not-quite-jangly-or-twangy guitar line, laid overtop of a cruising techno* beat. I dig.

(I was gonna say it's a little like L'Arc's "Get Out From the Shell" in flavor, til I checked and found my memory of "Shell" was wrong... but there is a slightly similar L'Arc song I think... right?)

The other song, "Miranda", has a brisker techno beat, but with ~violin~, and feels vampires-dancing-at-nightish. (Speaking of which, have you guys seen We Are the Night yet?)






But "Miranda" doesn't hold my attention, and feels repetitive (like most dancey-dance tracks do to me, with their unchanging digital beats)... It features "Mazda", whoever that is.

So, one sorta cool song and one so-so one from the Sugi-Woogie Bugle Boy of Company Sea...

*If it's not techno but something else (house, electronica, etc) please educate me, my non-rock vocabulary sucks.
