Description

With a slew of single releases on various independent labels Australian drum 'n' bass outfit Pendulum release their debut album 'Hold Your Colour' on Adam F and Fresh's Breakbeat Kaos. Pendulum have created a hybrid mix of drum 'n' bass, nu-skool breaks and classic rave, managing to keep their underground roots while crossing over to the mainstream. The album features the singles 'Slam' and 'Another World'.

what a load of rubbish! (2008-09-04)

Do not buy this version of the cd, go and get the original, theres stupid 2 second pauses inbetween the tracks and they've just taken two of the best tracks off the album and replaced it with crap ones.

Pendulum - Hold your colour (2008-08-10)

I bought this based on someone else's recommendation, and I have to say that although it's not a bad album, In Silico is much better. Sorry!

Like being on a plane! (2008-05-12)

I've very strangely titled ths review as like being on a plane, just because some aspects of it are exactly that! When the album starts the plane is parked on the runway and the engines go down then everything just well.. takes off. You want to close your eyes but are just forced to submit and watch, just as the album opens you can't help just just sit listen or get up and dance like a looney depending on preference! Anyway dispensing with the metaphor, I was never a fan of drum and bass or any music of that kind. I thought that it was just for a certain group of people that was until me and my friend happened to find 'Hold your Colour' on a stone wall out in the middle of nowhere that my views on that music were changed perhaps forever. After we stuck it in the CD player we didn't know what to expect but then we did get addicted to it. True some may say that its not proper drum and bass, the kind of stuff that you'd find hooded geniuses to be crafting in the basement of their dark and dingy North London flat but this album certainly is a gateway into all of that. Pendulum are so sophisticated in 'Hold your Colour' that they even manage to make Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory sound good, thats in 'Through the Loop' by the way! With the reissue last year even with the success of the original issue you'd think that Pendulum would make this new version even more accessable (if you could do such a thing) stick a few alternate takes of songs etc yet the only difference is that they have changed the last few tracks with new ones. The two in question being 'Blood Sugar' and 'Axle Grinder', in the broad sense Blood Sugar is the same story as Slam only with a different synth riff but still it does have knack of getting the crowd going. Axle Grinder is true to its name and does sound reminiscent of a car crash, a little atonal and uninteresting. But to sum up, this album is a cracking good listen and I'm a self confessed bad dancer and I really did myself justice when I went to see them live, it is guaranteed to get you jumping up and down (whether you choose to admit it or not)! So if in doubt, buy buy buy! You will be pleasantly surprised!

Awesome (2008-04-10)

Many people are slating this album and saying it isn't portraying true drum and bass, for me this has no consequence, i am primarily a fan of rock and easy-listening music but this album really has an edge that made me jump up and listen, the fact that it is not genre-specific drum and bass doesn't bother me in the slightest, people can classify it however they want but the only thing that matters is that it's brilliant. Slam and Tarantula are the tracks that initially caught my attention and i guess these are the more non-drum n bass tracks on the album, however, after repeated listens the tracks that really stand out now are the terminal and through the loop, firstly the terminal is a pure drum n bass tune which not even the most hardened DnB fan could surely complain about, secondly through the loop is a masterpiece, sampling gene wilder was inspirational and really gives this trach a rare quality. Overall a fantastic album that will have your head spinning, if 2008's follow up 'in silico' even comes close to this we are in for a real treat.

Overrated for sure! (2008-01-31)

Being a purist who has seen every DJ on the set also having lived with a very talented DJ I can honestly say this is overrated. It is a pop crossover attempt with more emphasis on creating profitising music for the masses than creating solid D+B. Ask anyone who is less than thirty if they like drum and bass and you will invariably get the answer; 'I love pendulum'. And to compare them to the mighty Prodigy is laughable! However I have given them 3 stars on the merit of their instrumental gigs which few artists have the courage/talent to pull off, and the fact that they are actively getting more people into D+B. If you are getting into drum and bass buy anything on true playaz ot hospital!
