Customer reviews of Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)

Customer Rating:  
Summary: AUDIO CD
Comment: THIS CD WAS PURCHASED AS A GIFT FOR MY GRANDAUGHTER. SHE SAID IT WAS GREAT!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Another Successful Album For The Groove
Comment: I bought this album at its release in 2001. Six years later and I'm still playing the entire album or some of its choice tracks on a regular basis. This is a very good album by Groove Armada. I'm sure it would sound just as fresh today for someone who is not overly familiar with its tracks.
Noteable mentions are "Superstylin'" and "Edge Hill" with the remaining tracks being completely dud-free.
One of the best performers to catch live, prove that they can do the studio thing too with Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub).
4/5 stars.

Summary: Hellooooo, Groove Armada
Comment: Long after proving themselves to be maestros of analogue-driven club-roots pyrotechnics with the quaking "I See You Baby" and the lackadasical "At The River," Groove Armada put out "Goodbye Country," proving that their versatility has no limits. This album proves that the definitions of "house" or "groove" or "chill" or "dance" are only as constricted as the artist who aspires to them.
Findlay and Cato partner with a classy conglomeration of collaborators (Celetia Martin, Jeru the Damaja, Richie Havens, et. al.) to form an album of music that is at times excruciatingly sweet ("My Friend"), at times deep and deliberate ("Fogma"), and sometimes just plain air-slappingly ecstatic (you must've heard "Superstylin'" by now).
Whether they're weaving herbal folk rhythms into something sunny and gorgeous ("Little by Little") or pumping out minimalist hip-hop sewn tightly to exquisitely looped musical murals ("Raisin' the Stakes" and "Suntoucher"), they're redefining the meaning of Good Music. Their sound here is lankier and lazier than in album's past, but it is certainly just as wonderful as ever.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not many highlights, but still a nice album to groove to (har har)
Comment: Groove Armada isn't a great group, but they do manage to deliver some quality tunes every now and then. I don't think "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)"'s best tunes are as good as "Vertigo"'s, but they're still really good (and it's nice to hear a cameo appearance by Jeru The Damaja in "Suntoucher". Also, "Suntoucher" and "My Friend", especially, sound like they could be hits). However, some of the songs do sound a bit cheesy, and overall the album is pretty uneven. If you're a fan of Groove Armada or if you're looking for some groovy tunes, though, you should be at least satisfied with "Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub)" (get "Vertigo" too!). Slightly recommended.
Highlights include:
"Suntoucher"
"Superstylin'"
"Little By Little"
"My Friend"
"Lazy Moon"
"Edge Hill"
"Tuning In (Dub Mix)" (Though this one more as background music)
Customer Rating:
Summary: A pleasently feel good trip.
Comment: Same old GA winning formula, the trick they have is exploring the mainstays of dance and ambient chill in the main and adding a thematic twist to each album. It works so well becuase they study their craft and bring something truly original to each album, something copycat artists do not even come close to achieving. Each album is a joyous celebration of a musical style and this "hip hop" trip is no exception. A treat for the ear canal!

Editorial Reviews:
|
Following a tide of critical acclaim and numerous appearances on every other chill-out compilation since records began, Groove Armada's Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) has an awful lot to live up to. Vertigo, released in February 2000, was a phenomenal success, critically and commercially, spawning hits like "If Everybody Looked the Same" and the sun-drenched "At the River." Having found their niche in downbeat, Groove Armada explore the style even further on Country. The opening track, "Suntoucher," is a slow-burning dub plate, featuring Jeru The Damaja, which breaks out a supercool horn riff midway through. It's a fantastic start to the album, but it does begin to feel a little long as the song unspools. Even the slightly more uptempo numbers, like first single "Superstylin'" and "Fogma," don't rush into anything, building slowly before the bass hook and drums kick in with a lukewarm impact. Goodbye Country is another musical triumph for Groove Armada, with every track as good as the one before. Still, it's a shame they veer so strongly in a downbeat direction, as they mostly leave behind the quirky house style that helped distinguish their earlier work. --David Trueman
