I urge everyone, Freeform fans and haters alike, to check out
his new Freeform cd on the Sprawl label called "Me Shape."
This new one is a compilation of sorts culling twelve tracks
recorded between 95 and 97 for live Freeform performances.
The every track on this album is a nice mix of complex
rhythms (ala Elastic Speakers, Prowl, Palavalamp and Glob)
and sublime sample-laiden melodies (ala Heterarchy and
Pattern Tub). So fans of the new and old Freeform style
should enjoy this one. Highly recommended!
