Hey ya'll.
I just wanted to drop a quick note to give the new Ben Neill CD Goldbug (with
DJ Spooky and another collaborator, Page Hamilton, on vocals) a nice
thumbs up. There is plenty of that jazzy, mutant trumpet sound mixed with
some nice phat beats, dub, d-n-b, and even some trip hop. So far I have
heard only a few sampled vocals.
Very cool and textured. Quite danceable in spots. Plenty of bleeps.
Comparisons would be difficult because of the trumpet which is unique (?) to
this IDM artist.
According to my early warning system, this CD should get a rating of
93.5/100.
Your mileage may vary...
