SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:59 Min.
For his 1996 dance-electronica album, Dreamland, composer-musician Robert Cocina (aka Robert Miles) performs this instrumental (Track # 6). He is accompanied by vocalist Maria Nayler.
REVIEW:
Aside from the rudimentary math lesson, “One and One,” unfortunately, is Dreamland’s weakest track. Part of the problem is that Maria Nayler’s soft vocals, as pleasant as they are, don’t mesh well with the lackluster lyrics. Fiorella Quinn (the vocalist on Tracks # 2-3) would have likely sounded better, but the choice of guest vocalist wouldn’t have made enough of a difference.
The song’s mushy lyrics are frankly a detriment to a relatively good melody. Had it been been a pure instrumental, “One and One” might well have been an asset to Dreamland.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5½ Stars
