i tend to agree with you, in part; the cd's probably best in small doses,
mixed with other music instead of listened to in its entirety, but this
music was strictly a demo that the thieves loved and released with some
re-mastering, and a helpful change of song order.
its too bad they didn't let him start from scratch.this was the first
music ursula made with the tools he chose to use. a sampler and mc303. he
had never created sequenced music before. he's more talented than the cd
belies, and, hopefully, the thieves will put out something more developed
from the talented mr. ursula.
for some really cool music, look for satellite lounge bootlegs. they're
often described as acid lounge, groove jet dubbed them, "masters of acid
jazz', but they really only share instrumentation with the genre. i'd dub
them more "avant-guarde, breakbeat jazz"; they have elements of down tempo
and music concrete mixed with free jazz and improvisational electronic
music.
ursula's fun to see/listen spin, though, if you're in ny, look through
the club listings to see if he's deejaying.
anyway, here's some links to stories on satellite lounge and ursula 1000
from their home-town alternative weekly.
