(idm) CAPITOL K rekkid review

I saw there was a few requests for comments on the Capitol K record. Well, I got it a few weeks ago, and first off, was quite impressed with the packaging! It came in an oversized protective plastic bag which was lightly taped closed. Inside, the out sleeve was made of medium-weight art paper which was only folded in half, not sealed on 3 side. The whole thing is a mock-up of a mock-up that would go to the printer. The artwork is rough but cute with wires runnin all over comin out of some time of electronic unit and a 'lil koala bear climbing out the corner, there are notes written where the song titles would go, etc. A small peice of paper is irregularly cut out and placed perfectly on the right top corner with a paper clip ( a real paper clip) with a notation about the Logo. Inside, the record is in a nice sleeve, and there is a sheet of paper with each individual song title, the artists and name of the 'band'. I write all this out because I was pretty freaked to get something so neat and original like. Ok, here's my review of the music...my fave cuts are marked with an * CAPITOL K - SONG FOR B - ELFCUT…Wot a package! Great concept, and a hellovalotta work went into this one! 4 very interesting cuts of Electronic jazz for the millenium! *'Song for Belgium' has a very sweet intro with twinkling as light drumming with an undercurrent of strong bass takes over…voices call out as it goes deep, funky and strange and gets pretty wild 'n wacky rockin out with neat use of feedback. *'Wisdom Teeth' begins with deep ambience…clicking grows then slows as bass gradually gets pumped in and signalling sounds lead to deep, low 'n lovely Aphex like tones with deep bass drops and great scrapings. 'Song for Banana' is an odd, thick mix-up of rockin percussion, exotic song, trippy efx and police sirens, it reminds one of Aphex Twin's 'Logon Rock Witch'. 'Arabs' starts out with a pleasant combo of ticking and twirly keys pulsing, then acid stabs and eeire low tones flow thru and scraping stuff like an amphetamine cricket sounds off.

i just got two 12"s on elf cut records (one capitol K 12" and one which i can't remember at the moment), and mark my words, they will be the next SKAM. limited records, nice packaging, groundbreaking music, and a mysterious "where did this come from" appeal....

that's strange. inside my capitol K record was a piece of white paper with a circle printed on it the exact size of the 12" center label. if you look closely it looks like it's written in arabic (hence the title of one of the tracks "arab"). and instead of a piece of paper with the song titles listed, i got a large weird looking zip-lock[tm] bag with little pieces of paper in it, on each piece of paper was a different track title, artist names, release title, and some other stuff... and also a elf cut records business card is enclosed with one side stamped with the elf cut logo... really nice packaging.,.,.,

yeah, i haven't seen packaging so strange since the v/vm frames for reference records... and just for the record, Capitol K is putting out his full length release on Planet Mu (mike paradinas's label) pretty soon, so if you want this 12" get it now... i haven't heard stuff that actually reminded me why i started listening to idm in the first place in a while... and putting the elf cut records on brings a smile to my face. the whole schematic/chocolate industries sound has gotten as stale as petrified bread. so i ran into a problem yesterday: a Sharp machine experienced frequent L-4's and possible blurred copies. uhm:: Sharp tried to mod their drive packs but I tried that version before they did > didn't work. The best solution is to replace the old 2035 drive pack with a new one from the 2040. Just swap the drum drive gear, complete harness ass'y, and the paper feed drive pulley from the old one. A significant reduction in drag will help aleviate this problem. You can also try placing a washer of the appropriate diameter between the metal plate and the transport bed (in the center position) of the DM-11 if it has one. Fresh Lychees # 1!!! Just make sure that it sits on the screw post not around it. If you still have L-4's, then the motor is probably weak and needs replacement. and don't forget to true the scanning rod..,.,.,., -kiya i am a copier. we are not all copiers.
