the new one certainly isn't their most accessible release in ages
as has recently been said...
it sounds a bit like a more structured version of Confield, the
boundries between the different sounds being a lot more precise...
Confield to me sounded very organic, with the different elements
flowing in and out and mutating gradualy into each other.
it sounds alot more programmed (as opposed to generative) to my
ears, much more complex from both a structural and sound point of
view. also, the album encompases a much broader range of different
sounds and rhythms than did confield... many of the tracks are broken
into two seperate sections which are quite different from each other.
there are two noticeable exceptions to the accessible dealie...
. 6ie.cr which starts off with a drum-machine sounding hip hop
influenced beat which lasts for a coulple of minutes, and
is probably some of their most intricate drum programming to
date, and is followed by some rather nice flute-like allmost
melody...
. surripere, which is an 11 min piece which spends the first
few minutes with a mostly repetitive hand-drumesque beat and
dark droney chords before eventually losing the plot (in a good
way) and deforming into a rather bizzare rhythm and bass line.
it's certainly a hugely complex album and the shitty quality
of the tape promo doesn't really help matters... and i've
only listened to it about 5 times so far, so i'll wait
until i hear the CD before i make up my mind about it....
but those looking for another tri repetae or amber will be
dissapointed, yet again... <nelson munce>ha ha</>
