Innovative and Diverse Musical Adventure that\'s Well Worth a Listen
author: Chris & the RadioIndy.com Review Team
“RSG-1” is the eclectic and truly original do-it-yourself debut from Random Song Generator. Random Song Generator is Neil Santos, a multi-instrumentalist that has his head around a variety of musical styles and proves it by playing all of the instruments on the album himself. The arrangements are solid and bass heavy, ranging in genre from hip-hop to pop to funk to techno to metal to folk to stoner rock. By sampling all of these genres, Santos goes against the grain and embraces every genre he finds aurally pleasing instead of limiting himself musically. The result is a mixtape of musical diversity, a Random Song Generator, which is entirely enjoyable and musically impressive. His vocals change with the genre, such as quicker deliveries similar to Beck during the “Mellow Gold” and “Odelay” days, rock ballads similar to Ryan Adams, and the distorted rock somewhere between Blur and Foo Fighters. “RSG-1” is well-produced; raw when it sounds better raw, clean when it sounds better clean, and bringing fully to life this incredibly imaginative album. “Just In Love” has a heavy rock sound with a catchy guitar line and backing bass, hip-hop deliveries on the verses and rock vocals on the chorus. “Addicted to Funk” is an impressive funk track with its splashy bass line, good use of synthesizers, and a group vocal on the chorus: “We\'re addicted to funk/ And we\'re looking to party, yeah!” With “RSG-1,” Neil Santos has really put something interesting together by audibly displaying his knowledge of a variety of genres and laying down the foundation for many “RSG” releases to come. Eclectic music fans in need of a new mixtape should definitely look into Random Song Generator.
