Description

Gotye (pronounced Gauthier) first found fame in his native Australia with his second album, 2006's Like Drawing Blood. Radio station Triple J named it their album of the year, as did iTunes on its release in Europe in 2008. It was recently voted the 11th greatest Australian album of all time. In Britain, Like Drawing Blood became a cult hit while in the States, it made waves after Drew Barrymore fell in love with single Learnalilgivinanlovin' and used it in several of her films. Making Mirrors, its extraordinary follow-up, was more than two and a half years in the making. To write and record its dozen sumptuous songs, Gotye moved from Melbourne to a barn on his parents' remote five hectare block on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. There, he had the space to permanently set up his growing array of instruments and recording equipment, and found the isolation that allowed for sonic experimentation and recording at any time of the day. The first single of the album is Somebody That I Used To Know.

      Comments about UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC Gotye - Making Mirrors:

      This album is full of original and unique songs which feature some very interesting and unusual sounds. Gotye has really experimented with sampling and the tracks are all very cleverly put together. In my oppinion are some true masterpieces on this album such as State of the Art (check out the video on YouTube!) and of course the number one that is Somebody That I Used to Know. Gotye's voice has a wide range which suits the wide variety of tracks featured on the album. This really is as album for true music lovers who want to discover a new talent.

      The only thing i would say is that if you like the kind of mass-produced, commerical music that seems to fill the charts these days then this album probably isn't for you. It's not really an album you will hear in nightclubs or could have a dance to, it's more music for listening to, although some tracks are very catchy so you may still find yourself (attempting to) sing along!

        Comments about UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC Gotye - Making Mirrors:

        Bought this Cd on the back of the massive hit single Somebody That I Used To Love, Am I pleased I invested my hard earned money in it. Well worth it,you certainly cannott pigeon hole Gotye because he covers all genres. Upto now my Cd of the year which says a lot for the amount of music I buy. Don't take my word for it give it a listen, I will be suprised if you don't end up buying it. Can't say if there are more number one singles on it. But I love it all the same. Recommend Yes I Would!!!

          Great song in 'Somebody that I used to know' but the rest of the album is a little bit of a let down. No other song really jumps out at you.

            This album is excellent for use in house or whilst driving....my son and I sing along to the lyrics printed in the cd booklet. We have listened over and over. Gotye is original and a very intelligent artist.

              Comments about UNIVERSAL REPUBLIC Gotye - Making Mirrors:

              I loved Gotye's Like Drawing Blood but took awhile to listen to Making Mirrors. That all changed when I started hearing Somebody That I Used To Know. The perfect pop single, I can see why it drew people to listen to this album and to Gotye's credit the rest of the album does not dissappoint. A well-crafted, made-with-love album that truly satisfies if you are into pop with originality. Not a cent of mine was wasted buying Making Mirrors. Can't wait to see him live.
