Bensons - "Tardrobe Wardis" (EP 2006)
|
|||
 |
Before releasing this masterpiece to the public, we decided to call up some old celeb friends, plug 'em in to the studio headphones and ask them for their opinions... Here's what they said about their favourite tracks from the album... | ||
| 01. Before You Lose It |
 |
Missy
Elliott: "Yo, this track is fly! - U got the flow slow but
controlled like a marine patrol. Deadly! I can tell that u got your
freak on proper style 'n' you're working it good, so hey, me and the
homegirls wanna hook up, pass the dutch 'n' trade rhymes witchu guys
- U know my #, so don't be shy! M.E."
|
|
| 02. Déjà Vu |
 |
Richard
Fairbrass (Right Said Fred): "Deja Vu is by far the best on
the album. 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' I doubt it fellas,
but let's have dinner sometime anyway. A great pop tune and thanks for
the mention!... Just about sexy enough!"
|
|
| 03. The Amazing Adventures of Monkey Roodle Ray and his little pet dog called Spot |
 |
Marilyn
Manson: "Hmmm... I thought I was the scariest man in pop til
I heard the 'Roodle Ray' track - well done chaps, you've achieved new
heights of eeriness with this atmospheric ditty. Tally ho! Death to
false metal and all that. Do you wear make up?"
|
|
| 04. Humanoid Phenomenon |
 |
Flea
(Red Hot Chili Peppers):
"Wow - liquid fingers, Mr Doubleberry! This is the sound me and
Tony have been looking for. The last RHCP album just didn't have enough
basslines like this - Respect!
|
|
| 05. Episode1: Bensonville Saloon |
|

|
06. El Rocco |
 |
Nelly
Furtado: "Where can I meet this big passionate man, El Rocco?
He sounds just my type and this fascinating song about him makes me
all the more curious. Any self-respecting latino girl should find this
alluring tune hard to resist. Prrrrrrr"
|
|
| 07. Chickwah |
 |
Snoop
Doggy Dogg: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, know wha'm sayin'? It's about
females yeah? Yo man, I gotta forty, a ride, two fine conchitas and
I'm playin' fo' time homeboy, know wha'm sayin'? Hot, hot, I'm chillin'.
This is some fine-ass gear. Word out Bensons"
|
|
| 08. Sweet Thing |
 |
Peter Andre: "Hey yo, this is Peter Andre. Easy bro! You got some real-deal home-town reggae right here like what I make all the time. I sing this song to Katie when I want to get her in the mood - works like a dream, bro!". Jordan: "Yes, the syncopated rhythms juxtaposed with the simple funk motif really make me horney!" | |
| 09. Episode2: Bengolian Rainforest |
|
||
| 10. Funky Gibbon |
 |
Terry
Nutkins: "What a perfect marriage of fact and funk! Surely
the first song ever to give insite into the fragile lives of the Bengolian
apes. These rare audio snippets mixed with such unique dirty grooves
make for an absolute classic listen. Well done!"
|
|
| 11. Big Bad Benson |
 |
Mariah
Carey:
"Hi. I wish I'd known earlier that you guys were recording this
track - I can think of at least another 3 extra harmonies I could have
squeezed out on the chorus. My dogs would have loved it."
|
|
| 12. Drink Of Fools |
 |
Roni
Size: "Thanks for the dub-plate guys. I've been droppin' the
Phlegm Gargle mix of this tune in the clubs and on my show. It's doin'
heavy rotation man and the scene is really feelin' it. Fresh production,
tight snares and bongos - You got the rhythms totally locked down. Heavy!
Peace out. Size"
|
|
| 13. Booty Duty |
 |
Lisa Scott-Lee: "I love The Bensons soooo much and this is my fave track because it's such a party. Buck, if you're reading this, I hope you're standing to attention, sentry-boy, because I'm on booty duty for you all day 24/7, honeypie! Call me. Lis xxx" | |
