Dan le Sac vs Scroobilus Pip – Angles

Angles Album Cover

Chris Iredale tonight brought the album. Dan Le Sac vs Scroobilus Pip – Angles.

The band themselves were a back-room duo so to speak, with much of the album being recorded either in a bedroom or shed using fairly normal equipment and gear.

The songs on the album all touch on subject that are considered as taboo such as suicide, drug use and depression. The lyrics concentrate on the other “Angles” to the situations that may not normally be touched upon. Hence the album title.

Its because of this bravery to touch on such taboo subjects but in a way that is quite delicate and respectful whilst also being thought provoking that compliments the very rough round the edges and realistic feeling to the album that compliments the under lying messages. These reasons lead to the final conclusion of;

Arctic Monkeys – Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not Album Cover

Welcome back to Groundbreakers. A little late on parade but hope all you guys had a great Xmas and New Year! So for our first show of 2012 we had Cameron Ward with us showcasing the Arctic Monkeys debut - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not (2006)

Cameron decided on this album for a few reasons. The origins of the band;  being based around near his home town and sounding “Local” to the area. The second is due to the widespread success of such a young act and the influence the album had on the musical scene of the time and the final, and probably biggest reason is due to the story that each song tells in a way that can either be related to past mischiefs or to more “taboo” subjects.

Whilst originally I wasn’t of the singles from the album, I was however by the end of the show more impressed by the al;bum, leading to the final success and seal approval. The main reasons being due to the relate-ability and also the bravery of such a young band to risk writing and performing songs that covered such “Taboo” subjects and still pulling it off.

This week we have the two tracks hotly tipped to be Christmas number 1 battling it out. The two contenders are, Nirvana – Smells like Teen Spirit, put forward by the very same, quite brilliant people who defeated the X Factor single to the number 1 spot with Rage Against the Machine two years ago. Their opposition, X Factor winners, Little Mix with their version of Damien Rice’s Cannonball. It’s up to you who wins, mark whichever track you play on the Storm studio whiteboard and come the end of the week, we’ll tally the numbers up and proclaim one, Christmas Champion of Stormfm 2011!

Pendulum - Hold your Colour Album Cover

Tonight Rhys of Storm FMs Frequence brought us Pendulum – Hold Your Colour (2005.)

Rhys presented the album as one of the most breakthrough Drum and Bass albums of the decade, and highlighted it to one of the most influential albums from one of the most influential bands that helped to bring Drum and Bass into the public limelight and make it what it is today.

The album is well produced and made a massive impact on the album charts of the time as well featuring tracks that were used in many games and tv appearances. Alongside the uses of the tracks, the album itself make a strong use of samples ranging from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to past GroundBreakers winner War of the Worlds.

Overall the album was so massively influential and important to the drum and bass world, and the wider scene such as dubstep and break-beat that to call it anything but a Ground Breaker would just be a mistake and for that reason, its a resounding;
