It’s been a little while since I posted up a music review, so I thought it was about time that I got on down to writing one and just at the right time as the news of a re-release of the 2004 album Cocktail by Carlos Wilde.
Some years back in those early days of me surfing around the internet and producing my own music, yes I still do that as well, I got to know a lot of artists through a lot of the social music networks and one of those artists was Carlos Wilde and the one thing that I never got to do was get my hands on his debut album Cocktail, shame on me!
Then just as I wanted to get a copy the website that was selling the album ceased and so it was a case of having only a couple of tracks of his music.
But, recently Atom Sounds has announced the re-release of the album on Bandcamp and I was lucky enough to get a copy of the album from Carlos, though this album is now available as a pre-order and isn’t available in full until the 1st June, you get two tracks with your pre-order, now how cool is that 😉
Anyway on to the album, though this album was originally released in 2004, it’s still got such a powerful and fresh sound to it, with the distinct vocals from Carlos and collaborations with artist such as Mezzer, Nicki Nova to name but two, this album is something that can be played over and over again.
The album includes 10 tracks with each track giving the listener a joyful joiner of sound from start to finish and ending with an amazing club version, it has to be one of those albums that just wants you to spin it over and over again.
I’m glad that this album has been re-released it’s a crime that quality like this had to be lost from those that love music so much, it’s been lost too long and now hopefully Carlos Wilde will gain new fans for his musical talents, I for one am proud to say that I have the superb Cocktail in my music collection.
You can stream the album at SoundCloud and at Last.fm, so stop by and check it out and don’t forget to order your copy from BandCamp 😉
