this kid gets a bad wrap from time to time but i don't think it's bad. you open always is a nice track. i haven't given this cd a thorough listen but i think i will for the rest of the day. |

this cd is excelent, she's very underrated. One of the best electronic records i've bought recently, love the sounds she uses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree she does use lovely sounds |
||||||||
|
|

It is very good. Now expect some stupid ass to come in here and make the comment about how she's on Warp soley because she's either a) married to Sean Booth, or b) because she's female, or c) both. |
||||||||

there are far to many stupid comments like that about ive seen her perform nanu live and she is in league with SB or RDJ and the album is good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like this album very much. I like how she uses singing. very nice. "woody" is excellent, as is the rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is she married to sean booth? didn't know that. |
||||||||
|
|

i used to dislike her since i thought prickle sucked. nowadays i don't dislike, i respect. played a track from prickle at a party too. i bought skimskitta cd, then borrowed it to my friend because we had a project and i was looking for samples of what kind of sounds i like. she still has the cd, and i don't even remember how it was :D anyways it's all good. i love the sounds she uses, there is much intuition and feeling in the songs while she might not have the ultimate skills. |

its a little toosubtle for me to get into, its a bit like boc, only with less tunes and more 'being one with nature'. but i do like how the first 7 tracks mix into each other, and the rest of the album has more seperate tracks. |

skinnfitta. pretty nice album actually. the best of mira me thinks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but actually i believe she's on Warp soley because she's either a) married to Sean Booth, or b) because she's female, or c) both. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, that's what I thought too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Personally, don't care for it too much but I put it on once in a while. ^_^ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:O add to your list that she was a warp dj for a while |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and she has four left arms and a limp |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
does she collect left arms? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
erm yes and also left gloves. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and she limps cos of the weight on the left side. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why what? I just thought like oyvinto did, when I discovered she was on Warp.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
.. or could it be because Warp thought her music was good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but actually i believe she's on Warp soley because she's either a) married to Sean Booth, or b) because she's female, or c) both. Jealous pricks. Not only is ms calix very talented and deserves her place on Warp (more so than some of the artists on there) I am pretty sure she was a press officer for Warp and had her first single released through Warp before she got married. Indeed I believe she met mr booth through her links to Warp. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Lee is right. Anyway I haven't listened too much of her stuff, but I can say she deserves a place there.. |

you know your onions young man |
||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|

|
|
lovely album |
||||||||
|
|

I stand by the original review I gave 2 years ago. There is a description I found in an online review for another album (I beleive it was confield) that I beleive applies to skimskitta, more so than any other album I have- "it is a work to respect, not enjoy" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that respect/enjoy thing looks like a pile of cack to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Wolf The Sheep And The Door (5 track) makes me crazy.. Anyone else? <3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't care for it. Has an amatuerish feel. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is it possible to discuss the music? most of these threads discuss many things aside from the actual audio content of the releases. i.e....gossip, technology, etc . . . read sound on sound or OK/HELLO. .. . there are interesting things related to the artists and releases but some actual discussion of the music would be good.........thats why were here? actually..... being racist / sexist and homophobic seems pretty popular too. anyway..... it sounds good ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that amatuerish feel is the power of that album i think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If sounding like it was made with fruityloops is powerful, then it might be the Oprah of IDM. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mira calix is great, but my favorite release would probably be 3 commissions. i don't really see how she's more unfit to be on warp than any other artist there. |
