Ok just finished listening to this album and holy shit is it fucking good. Anyone have any thoughts on it? I imagine this is what BOC was trying to sound like with Campfire Headphase. Review: Iceland may be filled with lush, rolling hills dotted with hot springs, but based on the worn, icy-complexioned music the land routinely exports, you'd be justified in assuming that they spent three quarters of the year in isolated darkness. Naturalist electronic duo Plat is no exception, layering disjointed, chipped-ice beats over a bed of broken jazz drones and freshly squeezed melancholy -- it's IDM for the hoodie-clad, sunken-eyed set. There's a distinctly human feel to the duo's metal machine music: Compulsion is filled with beautiful and beguiling soundscapes that never lose sight of melody, even as they become entrenched in cavernous swells of gurgling electronics and pacing so glacial it makes Boards of Canada sound like thrash-metal. The gleaming Reykjavik sun has baked "Trainers" into a thing of golden beauty, all shiver-inducing flutter and meditative glissando, while the undulating "Kverkatak (Stranglehold)" retains a flair for cabaret-style theatrics and a simmering bass throb -- cold-hearted cynicism hijacked by a roving love brigade and tortured until it cracks the faintest of smiles. They say beauty exists where you'd least expect it to flourish. Despite its frosty and nearly impenetrable veneer, Compulsion's cascading click and hum runs warm enough to melt even the duo's own hardened hearts. 3/8/05 |

If the music is as trite as your review you should probably cut your ears as well as hands off. 21/9/05 |

Then you have my most heartfelt and sincere apologies. Even though you are plainly a cunt, but that's neither here nor there. Still, that really is a dreadful piece of writing. |

only review i could find online and i wasnt about to waste my valuable time writing an interesting review when i can use my valuable time writing uninteresting insults. once again eat a dick and clean up your grammar. that one passage about the hand, ears and so on was horrendous. |

When it comes down to it, aren't we both wasting our time? It's just that one of us seems to be a third-rate maddox with a cock fixation, you should read through a few of your posts again. I'm not suggesting anything untoward, just, y'know... i don't know where i'm going with this, i don't really care, i've listened to the samples, they're tepid at best, this pointlessness ends here. |
