| dbo:abstract | Top 10 Hits of the End of the World is a studio album by psychedelic dance duo Prince Rama consisting of sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson. Produced by Scott Colburn, it is a "retrospective requiem of all pop albums ever made" where Prince Rama revives the spirits of ten fictional musical acts who died during the apocalypse to perform hits: Arabian group Guns of Dubai, English dance act I.M.M.O.R.T.A.L.I.F.E., mafia musical group Nu Fighters, protest band Rage Peace, architect group Taohaus, Bollywood film soundtrack duo Goloka, Black Elk Speaks, virtual group Hyparxia, "dancerise" duo The Metaphysixxx, and commercially successful group Motel Memory. The apocalypse concept of Top 10 Hits of the End of the World was inspired by the works of Chris Marker, Paul Laffoley, and Jean Baudrillard and continues Prince Rama's idea of the "now age" present in their previous records, where a period or moment becomes lost once it is named a "now age." A major theme of the album is based on musical acts in real life that "possess" the spirits of musical groups and artists that came before, such as Lady Gaga channeling Madonna and Creed channeling Pearl Jam. Musically, Top 10 Hits of the End of the World was influenced by pop music from several nations such as Arabian territories, France, Sweden, and Cambodia. It also includes elements of several genres such as what Paw Tracks' press release described as "tribal goth," "motorcycle rock," and "ghost-modern glam." Promoted with three pre-album-release singles ("So Destroyed," "Those Who Live For Love Will Live Forever," and "Welcome to the Now Age") and two music and multimedia (for "So Destroyed" and "Those Who Live For Love Will Live Forever"), Top 10 Hits of the End of the World was released by the label Paw Tracks on November 6, 2012. Several professional music journalists were polarized with Top 10 Hits of the End of the World; some reviewers felt that the album did not contain elements promised by its concept and the press release, and some critics criticized the duo for departing from the style and sound that defined them on their previous records. However, the LP also garnered many positive responses from other critics, some calling it Prince Rama's best album while others praising the concept for how it benefited its music. (en) |
