It's interesting how different perspectives are on this list. This ep
gets my vote as the best of the year - there's something refreshingly
demented about mutilating show tunes (perhaps that's why v/vm are so
popular now?). Sound of Music seems to take the packed sonics of _Busy,
Curious, Thirsty_ and match them well with the more studied academic
approach of _Treader_. Seeing that Ashley Wales is/was a classical
composer (or is Coxon - check the engineering credit on LFO's "Tied Up"),
perhaps the ambient wash is reflecting this approach more than the dance
floor emphasis. "Death Futures" certainly is eons removed from the slide
guitar and big beats of _68 Million Shades ..._. Or they just wished to
contribute to the genealogy of "My Favorite Things" ... they acquit
themselves well.
Like an idiot, I JUST got Jochem Paap's _Vrs Mbnt Pcs 2_. Could someone
post (again, sorry) a store's webdress where I might find #1? Thanks.
If it's anywhere near as good as "vx snth" I'll pay an extortioner's
rate.
