Tally Ho! is one killer record. With every Luke Vibert release I am
reminded how much fun can be had with a bunch of vinyl records and a
sampler (well throw some synths in too for good measure). I love Ae type
stuff, but when it becomes too much abstraction, I always return to the
collage work of Vibert and Amon (and others). You know what I mean, it's
not about treating the samples, it's about how they interact with each in
certain contexts. I believe that often that takes more skill than delving
into abstraction...
My favorite art is the kind filled with contrasts, and Luke Vibert's work
is no excpetion. Never have I heard such meticulous attention to detail
sound so care-free. His records consistently create a good vibe, reminding
the listener not to take the artist too seriously, because after all he's
just dorking around with his sampler and a collection of records.
DJ shadow eat your heart out.
