CD Reviews

A disappointing addition
J. Spiegler | Long Island, NY | 01/10/2008
(2 out of 5 stars)

"If you've heard City Life: Underground New York (vol. 1) or London (vol. 2) - you may be disappointed in the musical shift that Florence takes.



While London maintained a brighter house thematic, and New York followed a more intriguing, sometimes mysterious, jazzy feel, Florence's tracks are repetetive, droning, and uninviting.



The 3rd City Life volume is mostly progressive house that seems to lack any musical 'soul'. Don't expect much in that way of instrumentals or notable lyrics. It's droning, muffled beats sound like the bass was drowned underwater.



The only noteworthy songs on the entire album are 'Soulheaven' and 'We Are Together' - unfortunately, compared to the two City Life predecessors, even these are mediocre at best."
