Written over a two year period, and with the collective creative efforts of many talented musicians, Goldfish have crafted a musical work that perfects the bond between digital and analog.
Vocalists like Emily Bruce will have one singing along on tracks like
Choose Your Own Adventure and
He’s Crazy, while Dom and Dave sample the past, resurrecting musical moments into new anthems. One such past-meets-present work of history and art is the album title track,
Three Second Memory in which Dom and Dave marry the vocals of Marlena Shaw (originally sampled on Blue Boy’s famous hit
Remember Me), with flawless precision. Other standout vocals include Monique Hellenberg’s sultry lullaby-esque delivery on
Planes and Jets with a style that harkens back to the sound of Everything But The Girl, but in a tone and quality all her own. John Mani delivers a big room vocal (with deadmau5 approved lyrics) on
One Million Views and Goldfish’s own David Poole lays down a few spectacular auricular moments on the songs
Away Game,
Giant Leap and
Take Back Tomorrow.
Three Second Memory, as an album, is a seamless soundscape, layering elements of the past, present and future into a master-work that generations will look back upon as a real game changer in EDM.
