I've had this 12" for several weeks, and have been
spinning the odd locked groove on audio-nimbus
when i'm feeling wacky. Here's a mini-review i sent
the IDM-L late January..
quoted 1 line>>
One side is loaded with Commodore locked
grooves, and the flip is Atari. Hard to digest in
one take, but if you enjoy listening to airplane's
drifting along for several minutes, tanks shooting
at other tanks, and odd sound effects, this
record is definitely for you. I personally enjoy
the fact that these locked grooves are funny,
nostalgic and will fit nicely in between tracks
during a set. "The 8-Bit Construction" set is
not just a series of quirky video-game pops and
loops, it unfolds into what may be an entirely new
genre for experimental electronics. Even though
there are more locked grooves than tracks on this
12inch, i still find it neat to hear sounds that would
otherwise remain locked in our childhood (video-game)
memories.
