ok, so i got the choice between "plus forty seven degrees...blah- blah" and "hotel parallell" by fennesz on cd, or to get two albums by oval on lp (quite bizarre, i know). i need some glitch advice here...what to get ? i haven't got any oval records yet (i've heard one or two at a friend of a friend a couple of weeks ago, and they sounded quite lovely), but i got "endless summer" by fennesz, and that's absolutely gorgeous. so, dear friends, i'd like your opinion. |

do you know oval ? what albums are worth getting into ? think i've heard the "dok" album, which is quite tasty... i feel that fennesz has a more "organic" touch to the music compared to what i've heard of oval (still, i haven't heard a lot of 'em). |

i haven't heard much Oval iether but the things ive heard was quite whacky , silly melodies and cheesy house groves ,not my cup of tea. Maybe i should check out more , give them another chance. |

hmm...not sure that's the oval i'm thinking of. oval (markus popp) is making skippety-glitchy tracks, with washes of white noise and all kinds of clicks and cuts. |

the things i heard where from Systematisch.Crappy stuff imo. But do you recomend any other Oval. Ok i have listened to some Fennesz now (god bless soulseek). Very nice stuff , very ambient and alive/organic. My favorites so far are "a year in a minute" and "shisheido" |

yeah, both of those are really lovely. i also heartily recommend the title track as well as the epic 11 minute "happy audio". |

oh, damn, i just advanced to junior status. sheeesh! |

ive heard ovalprocess and endless summer, and endless summer is much better imo. so id personnaly go with hotel parallel, even though i never heard it and don't know enough about either artists. |

Go for Fennesz, Oval isnt as Variedly as Fennesz. Fennesz sounds more "Techy" "and edgy" in my opinion, while OVAL music uses just "layerd soundscapes"........FENNESZ !! |

Remember the days, long ago, when you'd be walking down the sunny sidewalk and the daisies would smile at you? When warm oak trees waved their huge green hands and blew leaves like coy kisses across your path? When even the blades of grass seemed to sway in perfect time with every step you took? Like an electronic pied piper, Global Goon gathers all these feelings together and floats them back at you as downtempo electro grooves and some of the most original, captivating melodies in electronic music today. Vatican Nitez, the third album by Goon-ie Jonny Hawk, effervesces with the pure sonic happiness that characterized his previous effort, 1998's excellent Cradle of History, but with a tinge of darkness: Call it the weighted complexity of leaving behind those sunny days and embracing the harder realities of today's home-listening electronic music, where wholesale sampling and break pilfering constitute the bulk of what's available. Fuck that; the lead-off "Business Man" saunters out with delicate timpani-like percussion and a muted loop before volleying Goon's warbly electro hand-saw melody, and it's a dreamy one at that. Likewise, check "I'm on the 73," a synth-y four-count pop groove that repeatedly breaks down into digital drum madness before composing itself under said groove. "Kreem Ballet" and "!" sound most like Cradle, a bit simpler and predictable in their melodic progressions - and thus enjoyable for that reason. The only complaint: it's not nearly long enough; the Goon has again left us waiting for more memories of those wonderful sunny days long since gone. |
