below is a review that i posted earlier this morning
which was lost in bitnet limbo. . . .tp
WARNING: to the weak of imagination. . .drivel follows
Up with the sun this morning. (damn big moon last night eh!)
Iced in for what feels like eternity here in New England I've been
warming up to a 12" that earns repeat trips around the spindles of
the Home Bass 1210's. I have been hesitant to use the following
cliche, but here goes. . .It's the feel good track of the year!
phew!
COMATONSE RECORDINGS 000 (the creation of IDMer Terre Thaemlitz)
Raw Through a Straw-this is THE track that keeps me looking
phorward to springtime. (cant wait to hear this out in the sunshine!)
Coming in ever so chill is a Pink Floydian intro of organ sounds
supplemented with piano droplets. The feel here is instantly soulful
and very edge of the world. Perch your imagination of a cliff above
the ocean. Big spacious free jazz sound. Te Quireo DEEP!
(the beat hasn't even dropped yet!!)
With a gentle shift into rhythm we take off with the freewheelin'
freestyle break. Tamborine hip shaking big smile beats. Terre
has done a magnificent job making sure that the beats never
dominate the continually jamming piano/organ which makes this song
so special. No doubt there is a musician at work here.
(not always true in the world of techno)
This track has celebration written all over it.

may be able to get one of your own. . .right!
