Woodenspoon, Woodenspoon, Woodenspoon....
I finally picked it up yesterday...(un)fortunately Gonzi had told me who
it was last week.
Went home, put it on and after a few minutes I asked my friend (who is
also a AFX/AUTECHRE/VIBERT/Muziq lover) who he thought it was. Here's
what he said:
"sounds like Seefeel trying to copy something cool like Aphex or
Autechre. It can't be AFX because the beats don't change enough.
(HUMMMMMM, HUMMMMMM, HUMMMMM, BERRRRRRR) Yep those are definitely
Seefeel sounds...way too simple, just like the stuff on Polyfusia. Nice
melodies though. It's OK"
funny thing is, I was thinking exactly the same thoughts.
Woodenspoon is OK, nice but not great...HAB it ain't!
I also picked up SPRING HEEL JACK Suspensions EP. I'll tell you, these
guys can do no wrong! The Omni Trio remix is great, a little harder
that the LP track, less guitars but very clean. I didn't give much of a
listen to the other remix. Then there's two more ORIGINAL tracks which
are bad ass. If you like the Jazzy/Atmo kind of jungle, get this! Like
Plug, Spring Heel Jack is in a catagory of it's own.
word to the mother,
