1. plaid - not for threes (my favorite CD ever. true pioneers.)
2. Mouse on Mars - Autoditacker
3. Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy
4. jiri.ceiver - jig, amble & lisp (is he overlooked, or does nobody like
him?)
5. Vapourspace - Sweep (this would have come in higher, but track 4
destroys the flow, which is very important when almost every track has
only one or two notes with filter sweeps. Nobody does it better, or at
all, thinks I.)
Special mention: Recoil - Unsound Methods
This is the biggest piece of capital D Doo-Doo I have ever heard. I will
not listen to it a second time, even at gunpoint, well, maybe at gunpoint.
Embarassing, trite, stupid, a 105% waste. I expected something half
listenable after his last couple of efforts. This "sucks", to use the
industry lingo. Hey, wanna buy my copy?
I will stop short of saying Alan Wilder's near-death experience (almost
hit by a plane that fell out of the sky) was not near enough, since that
would be unkind. There used to be a dictum here that one should not
criticize a work unless she or he could do better. Well, your
three-year-old nephew could do better with two popsicle sticks and an egg
carton. (That's how I recorded my own superior version of IZ-US, BTW.)
Take care.
