The Other Color is one of those music album that you don’t know when to play it. It’s not convenient to listen to it in your car wile driving. Neither it is wile doing the housework or washing up. Its not something you will enjoy on your iPod wile shopping or jogging. Its neither dance or pop music but it hardly is electronica despite its cold-wave inspiration.
Its much more like an audiobook spelling repetitive poem over a lousy 8 bit musical background. When you listen to it you need to be focused on it and if your mind starts to drift away … Its fine, you are into it. Its somehow like listening to Mozart and Bob Dylan at once in A hard mix by Steve Reich with a soft and deep core flavoured by Guillaume Apollinaire’s rhymes.
