Woo hoo! Much fun was had by all.
Otto was crunchier than I expected, more aggressive. That
polka-with-chubby-white-guy-rapping tune I thought was confusing, but
overall was great fun.
Phoenecia was a bit more subdued, more atmospheric than I've seen them in
the past. Not as loopy as Randa Roomet, nothing even close to as noisy as
Odd Jobs.
To start up this controversy again:
To paraphrase Quiny Jones- "The term 'rap music' is an oxymoron. I hear the
rap, but where's the music?"
There was a whole lotta beats and extremely complex rhythmic programming
going on, but not much in the way of bass lines, melody or harmony. It's the
same reason I'm so turned off by a lot of the Ant Zen stuff. Fascinating the
first couple times you listen to it (on cd I mean), but it gets really old
really fast. I hadn't had Lipswitch for more than a few months before
dumping it off at the used store.
It was wonderful to see so many people at an idm show so absolutely intent
on dancing. Superior vibe all night.
