Editorial Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review

When Danny DeVito commissioned Irish producer David Holmes to provide the score for the film Out of Sight, he chose wisely. Holmes's gritty, urban dance music, first exposed on the sadly underrated The Film's Crap Let's Slash the Seats, is perfect for evoking scenes and atmospheres, yet it's interesting enough to stand on its own. For this album, Holmes and a friend wandered the streets of New York, collecting voices and noises; Holmes then assembled them into an imaginary soundtrack with the structures of modern dance music and the sonic qualities of rock and dub reggae. Let's Get Killed is a disjointed cut-up session that brings the grit and excitement of city life into your living room without leaving a drop of blood. --Matthew Corwine

Customer Reviews

Awesome. Work of genius. (2002-03-30)

Why is David Holmes so relativly unknown, even after producing work of this jaw dropping quality, when his emulators, such as Fat Boy Slim get so huge? This album just makes old Norm seem so...crass. Subtle, delicate, groovy and oh-so-cool, this album is a film, it's a huge hollywood blocbuster without pictures. It feels not like a collection of seperate tracks, but a continual narrative. An album in the truest sense of the word. I came across Holmes by accident and now just want everything he's ever done.Buy this buy this buy this buy this.

Quality, mate (2000-06-16)

This is brilliant, plain and simple. A real mix of styles - some are plain funky (my mate paul), some are heartachingly beautiful (don't die just yet) and some make you want to laugh out loud with exhilaration (headrush on lafayette). All mashed together over a backdrop of the sounds of new york. Buy this.

And also buy his essential mix LP (it's on amazon, but not as david holmes. It's the essential mix 1998 one, I think, by various artists. The one that starts with contact by brigette bardot, anyway. That's even better than this)

David Holmes; I'd shake your hand & say "fair play to ya"! (2000-02-09)

What a superb album this is !

Bought it about 18 months ago.. & within about the 2nd/3rd airing of it, ABSOLUTELY fell in love with it.

Would MOST DEFINATELY now be in my "Top 5" CDs out of the 40+ that I own.

I rate it so highly that (about 2 weeks ago) bought his earlier album: "This flim's crap, lets slash the seats" (via this site of course ! ) just on the sound of this CD.

Favorite tunes for me are No. 3 and 12 - beautiful ! Moody, Mellow & Mysterious would be one way to describe all the tunes.

I say to all those who read this review:

"Enough of reading this - go buy it ! ".

You WON'T be disappointed.....

keep up the awsome funkytriphopjazz (whatever..)production (1999-11-04)

only a few understand , along with DJ Krush,DJ food and Tosca(opera) this is the most shiverring album of 'em all my hat off for you Mr.Holmes
