Interetsing new concept album came on on Grand Royal records called
"@ home with the groovebox" . The idea was to put an MC-505 in the
hands of some of the better-known artists on their label (sean lennon, bis,
cibo matto, and buffalo daughter) as well as the likes of some other
well-known artist's such as air, john mcentire (of thrill jockey fame) beck,
pavement, sonic youth, and money mark, and see what they would come up with.
While the over-all result sounds like rock bands 'trying' to make
electronic music, there are a few gems. Sean Lennon's track "Winged
Elephants" is very nice, and the Air track "Planet Vega" stays true to their
melodic sound. John McEntire's outting "J.I.H.A.D." sounds very much like a
Tortoise track, and is very developed (if not well produced).
Alll in all, it's a nice album that let's you see what some of these
indie (and not so indie) rockers would do with machines.......
