WAAA! (doo-doodoo-doo, doodoodoodoo) WAAA! (doo-doodoo-doo, doodoodoodoo) isj-one for the treble two fow the bass... she's got nut(s?) all over her FACE! ch-ch-ch-WAAA! (doo-doodoo-doo, doodoodoodoo) WAAA! cuz...cuzzzzzswaaaaa... zzzzz eeeeeee oooooo a-a-a-a-a-a cuccuz I'm thcz cuzc-c-c-cuz cuz I'm (th)a nigger with the attitude. I love that little ditty, and I seriously need to track down that NWA tune. Nevertheless, people were asking for specific examples of DSP fuckery for fuckery's sake, and this little CD is a perfect example. The godawful Kid606 opener sets the tone for the whole CD. How long did it take him to produce that track? Like, 3 minutes maybe? Just random DSP at random times with no coherence or musicality, it's like a little kid trying out all the sound effects on his new keyboard, isn't this cool, press this thing here, do that there, dude, that's some fucked up shit man! You totally rock! Oh wait, what am I talking about? Oh yeah. I do enjoy it, but my point is just--and I mean this in the nicest possible way--this is kind of thing the anti-overglitchiness crowd were railing against. But it's not supposed to be some kind of beautiful musical masterpiece, and I understand this. It's supposed to be what it is. And for that it succeeds. Different strokes and all that. After all, we can't all be B12. And it would be terribly confusing if we all were B12. Let's divide it up: You guys be B12, and we'll be, um, LFO. L-F-O! Okay, shirts and skins. No wait, I got dibs on Scooter. Are you ready... "Hey, can I be FUSE, man?" No. Shut up. Actually, we prefer to refer to it as "postmodern collage." How bout gyp hop? Back to Ahw'-tehk-err. No, I didn't mean it like that. I gotta have some novelty items, but when it comes down to the desert island, shove aside for the Pet Shop Boys, thankyouverymuch. My comprehension of your genre is so limited I shouldn't even bring it up. We can all band together, holding hands, making fun of goa trance ...just like old times. Novelty is all right, but there is such a thing as "overexposure" to the Shaggs.
