Interetsing new concept album came on on Grand Royal records called
"@ home with the groovebox" . The idea was to put an MC-505 in the hands of
some of the better-known artists on their label (sean lennon, bis, cibo
matto, and buffalo daughter) as well as the likes of some other well-known
artist's such as air, john mcentire (of thrill jockey fame) beck, pavement,
sonic youth, and money mark, and see what they would come up with.
While the over-all result sounds like rock bands 'trying' to make electronic
music, there are a few gems. Sean Lennon's track "Winged Elephants" is very
nice, and the Air track "Planet Vega" stays true to their melodic sound.
John McEntire's outting "J.I.H.A.D." sounds very much like a Tortoise track,
and is very developed (if not well produced).
Alll in all, it's a nice album that let's you see what some of these indie
(and not so indie) rockers would do machines.......
