Speaking of Dead Cities. I just picked it up last night. It sounds like
what should have followed up Front 242's 06:21:03:11 Up Evil. Overall it was
dark, and brooding. The first few tracks were wickedly violent - makes ya
wanna crush some skulls or something equally unpleasant... but I digress
It definately has some characteristics of 242 and others like Nitzer Ebb, but
still has FSOL's organic feel to it. You can hear quite a few of their
Lifeforms-esque samples sprinkled thoughout. I really liked the subtle DnB
stlyled in the percussion. Subtle and effective it doesn't go overboard -
and is definatly not the focus.
Dunno peeps, I dig it. Any opposing views?
BTW - I just saw Spring Heel Jack at the New Music Cafe here in NYC. Please
gimme a bit more info. I was impressed, they threw DOWN last night, but is
their recorded work just as strong?
At NYU, Spooky spun (someone tell me he sucked and make me feel better - I
missed it)*grumble* as well as UI *grumble* but did catch a rather
ineteresting band - Irish I think (sounded like it was at any rate) - called
Stereo Lab. Some really bizarre drony sounds comin' from these people.
Almost like listening to a Bagpiper on Acid.. Makes me wonder what their
recorded work sounds like - anyone?
