Today I decided to review the highly anticipated Zhu album, Ringo's Desert, Pt. 1 released under Mind of A Genius records. This album has thoroughly impressed me and is in top contention for one of my favorite electronic albums released in the past year. Zhu puts a new twist on his classic sound with an album full of hypnotic bass lines and ethereal vocals. I especially enjoyed the first track, Stormy Love, NM which features beautiful vocals from JOY and makes for a very catchy and upbeat jam. I loved the use of 80s-esque synthesizers in much of the songs, especially in Desert Woman when used in a call and response with a guitar saturated in reverb. The only thing this album could have done better would be to cut down on the length of some songs. Certain songs started to become repetitive after a few minutes and it would have been a lot better in my opinion to cut out the extra minute of kicks and snares that seemed to find itself in the end of every song.
