What, no endless posts on Lunatic Harness? Or did all you jaded
people get tired of your advance copies already.
After more or less constant listening for the last two days, I'd have
to say that I'm in love. I can cite all the ways in which it's not
innovative or a new frontier in sound design (squarepusher sampler
tricks in the breaks, the same patches from the D50 and DX100 he's
been flogging for years, the pads-through-cheap-reverb), I can bitch about the overmodulation distortion
that adds nothing to the tracks, but at the end of the day none of
that matters.
What matters is his genius for melody, or not so much melody, as harmonic
lushness, the way that the energy level in the tracks ebbs and flows,
and the way he's not afraid to make left turns without signalling.
Hasn't he had his kid by now as well?
Life is good.
