these are initial impressions as repeated listens tend to reshape perception funckarma "parts"- not as good as I thought it would be. The purpose here seems to be to try to impress the listener with the variety of interesting sounds they can create but their sound manipulation is sub par to the likes of autechre, funkstorung, crunch, aphex twin. They attempt at humorous high pitch alvin and chipmunk voices in one song wasn't humorous. matmos "a chance to cut is a chance to cure"- An original fun entertaining release. The sounds are from weird sources like surgery but the compositions are playful and sometimes use conventional beats but sometimes plays more with the sounds. The control over the sound isn't as good as Crunch or autechre, but the sounds are interesting to begin with without being modified and tweaked. One song is quite funny where a woman says a word like "lunchbox" and then they play a sound of someone opening a lunchbox and eating lunch. They do it for about 10 words and then repeat the list and make a beat out of it. arovane "atol scrap"- I originally really liked it the first listen, but am much less impressed now. Beats and melodies are created with a seeming degree of randomness. The songs build up to interesting structures I guess but are too homogeneous, if you look at any one part it will be similar to another part even if slightly different through chance. The use of reverb is done on I think every melody sound which is interesting but gets old. It makes good background music because strangely though complicated you don't really think about comprehending it too seriously. otto von schirach (spelling?) "8000 bc"- This is something few people will like, but it certainly has my curiosity. It's extremely annoying and forces you to concentrate to understand just what it is that you are listening to. It's thesis is constant change I think. It's like deciphering a language composed with infinite letter units. There is some symmetry but it lasts just briefly enough to comprehend it, it's really blipy and glitchy. It's way more sophisticated than merzbow but almost goes in a similar direction. It's a thinking album, I don't think I'll ever get bored of it. |
