sorry to keep up the thread but I just got Subliminal Sandwich....dope as
fuck. I am a huge MBM fan and admit I was somewhat bummed upon hearing
the Transmission single. Not bad, but nothing killer which is what I
expected from ole Jack. When I picked up SS, I was stoked it was a 2 CD
set. The first disc is just solid MBM, lots of distorted filters, slowed
and thick breakbeats, and some minimal lyrics (oh yeah lots of samples of
course). Glad to see some kind of 'freeform' jazz thing going on in a few
tracks. This CD would stand by itself as just plain good (sort of like
FSOL's ISDN)....(won't say the TH word)....BUT the 2nd CD....
holy shit....this is what makes this set a must have. Just really
stretched textures and atmospheres over some rhythms and samples; Jack et
al are really playing with your psyche on this one. Sort of like those
tracks on the NOW single only extended over 70 min; this disc has has that
lulling vibe that SAW II has on me....
The 2 discs combined give you the perfect IDM combo IMHO...extroverted
aggressive dance/groove jams on CD1 and introverted eerie chill sounds on
CD2....definitely get this set...
peace-
