Interesting point - I haven't got a copy of this, thus can't say either
way, but up to now I've only had a tape of AmonTobin's Bricolage,
which sounded just fine 'n dandy in the car.
So I jumped at the recent opportunity of obtaining the album 2nd
hand on CD - alas! As I had once before written about a Cujo
track, Amon Tobin seems to be a bit slack when it comes to
adjusting the various keys his samples are in - everything will be
sounding great, till suddenly a loop comes in totally out of tune.
Well, maybe not *totally* but certainly enough so to put my teeth
on edge and make the hairs stand up on my arms (piloerection?
Nah, in a BAD way).
I know we thrashed this thread to death a good while ago, with lots
of people coming out in favour of slap-shod production (sorry if I
misquote, but it sounded like a hippie attitude to anything goes).
To my ears, this just isn't pleasant and I know that I will not be
listening to Bricloage again in a hurry. Pity, because I really love
Easy Muffin...
