Duncan Sheik - White Limousine - Rounder
It's easy to get caught up in the splendid idea that surrounds the packaging of this new album... there are two discs in the set: one (the actual finished album) is labeled "Mine", and the other "Yours". The "Yours" disc is a DVD-ROM that allows you to re-mix the entire album using software available online. Pretty cool, and user friendly, too.
Hopefully, this "gimmick" won't cause anyone to overlook the actual MUSIC on this outstanding album, Sheik's 4th. White Limousine is the work of a maturing master songcrafter who has a lot to say... about love, life and the human condition in the mid-oughts. And, try as you might, you'll never be able to equal the lush pastures of sound that are already availble on disc one. You'll have a blast trying, though...
