Funny that, I thought 68 million Shades was boring throwaway jungle crap, whilst Oval's 94diskont was one of the 2 or 3 best discs of last year. Why, you may ask? 68 million... is just one big cliche. Yeah, they throw some extra instrumentation on. Still plays the same goddamn stuff, regardless of the instrument. diskont94, or at least the 1st track (24 minutes long) is the prettiest song I've ever heard made from cd skips and machine fuckups. It's also awesome, making use of a microtonal scale and cd clicks for a beat. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto.
