Yea, you can keep your uberzone and c.method
(far from what i'm speaking of..)
I guess i was just really looking forward to this
release and thought it would be in the vein of
they're previous material (Good, Funky, Bumpin')
not some Huge step Backwards to this trendy
(should be over with) coil/r.devine sketch comedy.
I'm not saying all music should have drums/basslines,
be funky, dancleable, what have you... I'ts just
that these guys were actually Good at it and
Were dope, instead of just being dopes...
i'ts sad, but 'Brownout' looks like just another
'flavor-of-the-month' in true Internet Dork Music
fashion (and i Do mean fashion).
Sorry guys.
Curious,
anyone feel the same way ?
anyone else on this list sick of noodly comp. music ?
anyone feel like some real Intelligent Dance Music ?
wake up.
