I FUCKING HATE THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE FUCK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF EXP022 - BRTLMN - QUININE EP Muzak from hell... 60's spy themes... The club scene from Fire Walk With Me... These are all things that could MAYBE come close to describing "Onublauxe", the opening track from BRTLMN's 'Quinine' EP. With this work, BRTLMN has broken even his own threshold for the strange and awkward, yet the heart of the recording is surprisingly lucid and stripped down. This is not throwing feces at a canvas to see if it will stick. This is, on many levels, the art of re-constructing deconstruction. At times, the music subtracts itself into just a lonely slow oscillating rhodes. at times, it builds itself into a chaotic mashup of what seems like different takes on a theme. BRTLMN even dares to venture into the land of hip-hop... with stunningly tasteful and head-nodding results. This is simultaneously BRTLMN's most accessible AND abstract work to date, and only makes the listener more intrigued in what lies ahead. EXP023 - GRASSHOPPA - LOST IN GRAY MATTER EP From the second you hit play, you know it's on. This EP is a 37 minute no-holds-barred attack on your eardrums. The beats are relentless in their insistence, and the melodies and pads are about as overflowing and volcanic as you could imagine. Simply put, this is expressionist drill 'n' bass. the songs are extremely glitchy and fast-paced, yet hang in the air like a haze around your sphere of perception. Thin, bell-like chiming and strumming floats on a thick rockbase of orgy-like percussion. "Drown In Lena River" takes you on a ride through a funhouse of contrasting organic plant-life, while "owiiFF" seems to struggle just to maintain its own static form. The pieces come off, ultimately, as having a natural child-like wonder, and an awe and a playfulness that other artist struggle to pretentiously invent in their music. |

I'll pseudo-quote Elvis Costello : Writing about music is as retarded as dancing to architecture. |

it is, yes. impakt: hahahaha! brilliant! likewise, frank zappa on rock music journalism: Rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, in order to provide articles for people who can't read. |

Haha, yes :D |

Costello must have stolen it then :p "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's a really stupid thing to want to do." --Elvis Costello, in an interview by Timothy White entitled "A Man out of Time Beats the Clock." Musician magazine No. 60 (October 1983), p. 52. |

Hmm, maybe I should actually listen to Sigur Ros, hear what it's like. |

Well, if they're hardly likely to write the truth, "Sorry, as if the world needed more glitchy 'dance' music from people that couldn't write a proper tune so they instantly went electro psuedo-jazz, all the same here it is" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That could have been said about almost every genre, electronic music ain't the only derivative style out there, frankly I find most rock much worse :p |

It annoys me too ; reviews in french are also like that. Pieces of bullshit ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, the review may not be up to par, but the music is really good. i'm actually quite surpised you guys weren't attacking my reviews, my writing stinks! i've been trying to keep it more factual lately, however. BRTLMN is a very close friend of mine, and the music is good. i reccommend it. :D |
||||||||

|
|
chill |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Haha, I thought John Cage said that. anyway... I hate this type of music writing too. That's why I verbally berate Pitchfork as often as possible. After a couple years, all the reviews just sound the same. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are good reviews though, the ones that tell you something |
