Sounds like you definitely need to hear: Tim Koch :: Please Don't Tell Me
That's Your Volvo on Aural Industries. Here's the review taken from the
excellent
http://www.igloomag.com/ site...
Many of you are well aware of Tim Koch's (Thug) Isolated Rhythm Chock from
1999.. it combined breathtaking electronica with distorted beats, odd
rhythms, and cute melodies. Well Please Don't Tell Me That's Your Volvo is
a logical step ahead for Tim. The intersection between electronic listening
and digital quirkiness seems to collide peacefully when Thug turns on his
musical skills. This release is an extension of that theme, with a little
twist..
Within 60 minutes, Tim manages to assimilate video-game styled electronica
tied to flowing blips and bleeps in a similar vein as Lackluster, Plod,
Arovane and even Plaid (yes, Plaid). I'm still wondering why Thug hasn't
appeared on the latest Nintendo or PlayStation video-game as his incredible
grooves are an exhausting (yet fun) workout for the ears!
Regards,
John
