I just moved into my dorm, and am bored as all hell, so I was browsing the internet and I found this review of Aleamapper by Richard Devine. Since I dont really have any friends to share my anger, I decided to throw it into the trash bin for ideas, aka the internet. Its I usually don't read reviews, but, even surpassing pitchfork's shit, this is the worst review I have ever read. |

Well, considering what they're reviewing... |
||||||||
|
|

Aw come on, I dont really care that they gave it 2 stars, but the argument "It doesn't sound like it came from Miami, so I don't like it" is the most insulting thing I have read anyone say about an artist. |

Ok, "read anyone write". |

jesus that's awful. superfluous comma in the first sentence, too. |

Oh shit, I thought you were talking about me. But that would have been true as well. : / |

i guess the Florida angle is a little weak, but I pretty much dislike Richard Devine for all the same reasons. his music is just too cold and sterile for my liking. music made with machines that sounds like it was made by a machine. where is the humanity? hahaha. |

It's not a terrible review though, basically the guy was rather overwhelmed by it all and thought it didn't have quite the same hook as Lip Switch. Which to be fair is true, I still love the album however, but I can see what he'd be getting at. |
||||||||

|
but.. is there less humanity in making music with machines that tries to disguise that very fact? |

Devine's intricate tracks are very very excellent (lipswitch), however they have the property where they can sound rather farty when played on a normal sound system for some reason- sort of the same thing happens to many mp3.com etc artists. They're suberb on headphones. His ambient tracks do just about nothing for me most of the time and I usually skip over them. |

yeah it's a bad review, doesn't say anything. |

i don't look at it as a disguise i guess, but i see what you're saying. Read the liner notes to the movie soundtrack PI. it's mostly bullshit but something that stuck with me was something about finding a soul in the machine, making music that sounds human from a cold hunk of plastic and metal. |

i get what you mean. I wasn't really posing it as a serious question though, or something i'd give a lot of thought to.. it was just something that flashed into my head really. |

squarepushers 'manifesto' thing says something about the subject, I thought it was quite interesting to read but its also a complete load of wanked up shite |
