]idm q: is photek minimal or just boring? i can't decide.
If a song is on the boring side of minimal, I stop myself from
picking the song apart and just "try to be passive" (if that's even
possible) when listening to get a feel for the overall groove.
Personally, I never find photek boring...
Can anyone offer a reason why I should think of Oval as anything other
than boring and a complete waste of time? I listened to their newest
album in a store today and found it to be INCREDIBLY repetitive and
stifling, every song seemed to be something along the lines of "obscured
and reverbed synth line with CD player skip-clicks skip-clicking along".
I even noticed a blatant sample from SAW II. Is this all one has to do to
have one's own CD out in stores everywhere?...scratch up RDJ CDs, use the
most cohesive but invariably out-of-synch sequences I can find, and then
rake in the dough? 90% of what I heard sounded like it could have been
nothing other than a mangled and skippy SAW II CD.
I ended up purchasing "68 Million Shades" by Spring Heel Jack and I can
already tell it's not going to be leaving my CD carousel for a hella long
time.
