OK, I'm going to get flamed into oblivion for this most likely, but what
I really hope is that someone will explain to me what it is about
Paradinas' work that is so engaging (here come the flames).
Years ago I had heard "Roy Castle" on TEX3. Loved it, how could you not?
It's just an adorable little happy go lucky tune with smarmy little
childlike melodies and metallic drums that beat you over the head. So
when "In Pine Effect" came out, I bought it, hoping, I don't know, that
the album would convey a similar mood (Roy Castle was the opener) or at
least some good tracks. The album to me was just very wonky sounding, not
very masterful, and just all around bad.Granted "roy castle" is kind of
wonky, but somehow strikes a balance. About half way through the cd I was
thinking "this has got to be some musical humor on a higher level", kind
of like RDJ does, only much more masterfully so IMHO. In Pine Effect is
the only techno/idm cd I've given away in my years since collecting this
genre. I just found it entirely unlistenable, with the exception of the
opening track.
Yet I read so many listmembers clamoring for his work under various
aliases. I humbly ask that someone recommend another cd of his, be it
Muziq or Kid or Gary or Jake, so that I might see the light. If there is
a certain required mindset that should accompany listening to a Paradinas
work, I would like to be informed of that as well. Again, not bashing the
man as I've only experienced one cd, and would like to hear what the fuss
really is all about.
Putting on the flame retardant underoos now,
James
