speaking of esa ruoho...
if you're a fan of his lackluster stuff (or even if you're not), then hurry
up and track down a copy of his new 7" released on the rikos label. I know
this thing is pretty limited, and is almost as rare as rocking horse poop
already, so don't delay!
four awesome tracks (33rpm will allow for this, even on a 7")..."01/10/00"
is a gorgeous laidback (or "downtempo" if you wanna be pc) groove packed
with all the melody you'd expect from lackluster. "07/05/00" (my personal
favorite) is bitter/sweet because of how short it is...it's a pretty simple
track that starts off with a nice reverbed-out melody (that plays throughout
the song), then the drum track kicks in, and if you're not at least nodding
your head at this point, then you've got issues! it's one of those tracks
that you want to last for a while...so I'm left wanting more every time. (I
asked esa about it, and he said it was an unfinished track, so there you
go).
the b-side's got a couple bootie shakin' jams that (of course) don't fall
short in the melody department either. "18/10/99" is another one that's
almost too short for comfort. (I might be forced to record and loop these
short ones for myself!!) and finally "26.05.00 (dear laurent)" is what I'd
consider have a borderline electro vibe to it with nice flanged out little
melodies sprinkled over it and wicked effected out vocal samples thrown in
for good measure.
this is by far my favorite lackluster release to date. cool artwork, too!
=)
also, keep an eye out for his forthcoming 7" on zeal:
