I've been listening to Go Plastic for a little while too and I'm loving
it. I don't quite see where you are coming from in thinking its
closest related to MIRON. To me, its sort of like a combination of Big
Loada and the better sounds of Selection Sixteen. Basically, this
album is fucking OUT OF CONTROL! I mean that in the best way possible
too. I totally agree about it sounding better the more you listen to
it. I guess most music is like that for me, but the first time I took
a listen, I wasn't that into it.
My Red Hot Car is a catchy fun song, but I'm way more into the
ridiculous drum n bass stuff on this cd. "Bonneville Occident" never
fails to knock me on my ass. That breakdown that happens like two and
a half minutes into the song RULES THE SCHOOL! Also dig the classic
Tom J. melody going on in "The Exploding Psychology". Overall the
album rules, but that track "Greenways Trajectory" kinda sucks.
