Well I was hitting the 'd' key on the woodenspoon posts last week, but
it came in friday, so I grabbed it on faith...
It is mmmm...tasty! I went in knowing it was a Mark Clifford joint, and
given that it's unmistakably his product. He has a way with sounds that
I find highly original. As near as I can tell, he's taken the Akai
sampler torture of the junglist one step further -- a lot of the sounds
seem to be very short (10 millescond) chunks of other samples looped, and
then filtered, and then resampled.
There's a cut on 'Looking for Snags' that this disk recalls -- the one
with the stuttering metallic sounding percussion. You've heard of
'intelligent' jungle, 'ambient' jungle. This stuff can only be termed
'Abstract Expressionist' jungle.
