i picked up the stars as eyes, lesser, and electric
company stuff at a recent 606 show, and was VERY
pleased that they were having a sort of tigerbeat 6
not-just-kid-606-and-cex-releases for sale type thing.
anyway... stars as eyes didn't really do anything for
me at first... the same kind of mellow i've heard
before, the same kind of tiny beats. but then i
was listening to it at night, loudly enough, sitting
on my patio after work and it was night and i was
just able to relax after a fairly exhausting day,
and i noticed just then that tracks 7 and 11 were
EXHILIRATINGLY good. so then i listened to the
whole album a few more times, and though it does
careen
towards the familiar every so often, it's a nice sound
to have filling your head.
lesser. ahhhh... lesser, old bean. pal. i really
do not know what to expect with every new lesser
release. i should, by now, perhaps. but for some
reason i eagerly unwrap the cellophane to hear in what
manner he's fucked with the music this time. well. i
was disappointed this time, in earnest. the best
thing
about mensa dance squad (aside from the title, haha)
is the gangsta rap samples, and even thoughs are to be
expected at this point. i'll still rock it every now
and then. but it's no gearhound or 606/lsr split.
the beats are definitely in his style... like 3 or 4
or perhaps 89 computerized drummers beating their own
heads to death.
and electric company, sorry, i don't mean to mince
words, but i just plain don't like electric company
on cd... though i do like the house-y feeling that
the new thing has... live elco is a force to be
reckoned with, but i've been disappointed with every
single cd... and deep down i feel bad, because i know
it's good, i just think that it's possible that i
can't disassociate him from medicine (his old band,
who i don't think were too good)... anyway, there's
a few worthwhile songs on it, but i'm not really the
person to ask.
