And now for a different opinion...
With reservations due to the odd (non)tracking, "Themes From Vapourspace"
is probably my favorite electronic album for at least the past year.
Gage proves that truly amazing sounds can still be wrung out of stock
equipment -- even the 909/303 based "Cosmic Dance of Shiva" sounds fresh.
"Paradox of Time Dilation" is gorgeous, and for pure headphuq sonics
the title track can't be beaten.
BTW, Vapourspace is apparently playing some live dates, though I'm not
sure that its a full-fledged tour -- he'll be in Pontiac (north of
Detroit) on the 18th, but this is Plus 8's backyard so maybe it's just
a one-off.
