Here's the deal: To do my part in improving the state of the IDM list I will do something I normally don't take the time to do, try to write a review for you all to absorb. I hate writing about music, so please notice the sacrifice that I am making for your benefit... ;) Also, don't expect any amazing piece of writing either, I'm horrible at writing reviews. Quench : A Journey into Electonix : U-Cover Records The press release that s://kimo sent out about this release said it was actually Funckarma in disguise, but I have my doubts. The tracklisting itself states that the first track is 'refuncked' by Funckarma, but that does not mean that the entire CD is by him/them. The tracks on the CD are too 'instrumental' to be Funckarma (I think). A nice mixture of glitchy sounds, guitar samples in places, some Indian influences in places, heavy-beets(tm), melodic interludes, vocal samples (I swear I remember hearing vocal samples earlier, but I can't find 'em now, I may have been dreaming). Reminds me of a combination of Foreign Terrain meets Lexaunculpt meets Fennesz meets generic hip-hop DJ, sort of.
