This might come out sounding wrong, but when I'm pretty drunk and tired, I
put in Phonem's Hydro Electric. I've praised this quite a bit as far as
sobriety is concerned, and I can praise it quite a bit as far as
inebriation is concerned. Great album either way. I usually can't fall
asleep to music of of any kind, but this is an exceptional exception.
quick reviews
Brothomstates - Qtio: I find it strange that Warp would release this bland
and ordinary album. The best parts of it are good because they remind me
of Autechre. Thats about it. I'm surprised at how well it is being
recieved on and off the list by non-reviewers. I attribute this to the
fact that new IDM fans are the ones who voice themselves the most.
Venetian Snares + Speedranch - Making Orange Things: Oh I needed this. I
didn't really have anything like this in my collection, and boy does it
hit the spot at certain times. UNBORNBABY!!!! Really fast, "breakcore"
mania, I guess. Anyway, if you're gonna give yourself a self-applied
migraine, this is the way to do it.
Phoenicia - Radoom Roomet: this woulda been good four years ago.
LFO - Frequencies: I consider this techno(cat puke, mmm-tissk). I guess
mabye you had to be there.
Gescom - Keynell: Most of you who would appreciate this already know who
you are. If you like tracks like the last off of the second disc of Tri
Rep++, you will prolly like this. I myself really appreciate this, mabye
not so much to listen to often, but every once in a while because the
structure is fantastic, it feels like architecture. Worth the 5-7 bucks
just for awesome 4th track.
Aphex - Drukqs Promo: I know if its either good or great. Didn't hit me
like the good stuff from RDJ, but I prolly need headphones, because it is
so dense. I'm gonna wait till the cd comes out to pull out the headphones
for this oh-so-important one(not sarcastic).
ps: I'm not gonna get Drukqs on the 22nd because I live in the land of
the easily televisionally-enraptured. I've listened to some of the
tracks, but I never put the whole thing on my comp, or any given track for
more than a day, or a listen or two. I'm a big Aphex fan. BUT I"LL GET
IT LIKE A WEEK LATE! MOTHERFUCKING TERRORISTS!!!!!!
