sorry if this has been posted already, but this is a great album! especially for fans of negativland, the ecc, v/vm, matmos, the bran flakes, or sound-collage in general. if you have never heard of PLU before, check this out. --------- People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) creates audio-visual collage using sampling and found footage from the renowned Prelinger Archives. These appropriated elements compose the arena where recontextualized sounds and images begin to take on new lives, giving way to multiple worlds of mirrored images. The result is a labyrinthine universe of alchemical mystery where equal measures of lighthearted humour and sinister satire create a balanced art. By using A/V elements from throughout the 20th C., Bennett paradoxically breathes new interpretations into our current relationship with technology. Her work is a delightful parody of both past and present European and American culture. --------- download lp (2004) |

glad you like something i've recommended! :) i just find her style to be very organic - she puts together stuff in a way i never expect... i've got to try and download the rest of these. so far i've dld the live performance she did with Kenny G on WFMU. you've got to hear at least the first track - it's awesome: |

i really like Wide Open Spaces (with wobbly and matmos) and Nothing Special (with kenny g). you can listen to them on the download page above and, from there, buy them on cd as well. |

well i cant d/l them (as i can only access the net at work) but i will look into purchasing the cds suggested... the only song ive already heard is the lovely 'sugar and splice', would you know if thats a typical plu track? |

that's from Thermos Explorer which you can order from ... the stuff i recommended (her newer work) is a bit different. her newer albums are not as mellow electronica-sounding... it sounds more like what they are - very cohesive collage. i don't think the whole TE album sounds like that track, but i do remember enjoying it. i'm going to have to listen again soon, i think... :) |
