Song of the Day - July 14, 2005

This song just worms its way into your brain. Once you hear it, you will not be able to remove it from you cerebral cortex. Eltro's sound has been compared to both the Talking Heads and Kraftwerk; two hugely influential bands that Eltro has done a deft job at weaving these disparate influences into their own sound. "Say It" starts out with Talking Head influences with a funky guitar riff that is just plain infectious. The song progresses and develops an almost world beat type sound, before the Kraftwerk style keyboards kick in, moving it into more of a "galaxy beat" style. As I was never sure Kraftwerk were from this planet. The whole combination of sounds is just perfect. Click here to listen.
