I frequent. Akufen is worth checking out. his style is surprising and impressive at first, the way he puts together all his little, disparate, radio samples over big bompy Perlon-like beats. It's kinda got that herky-jerky thing, like Twerk. Fun. But it's pretty gimmicky. It wears thin. There's also the problem of his using the same gimmick again and again. I wish "My Way" were more of a departure from his previous releases, and I wish even more that his next full length shows how he's a lot bigger than this one idea. Personally I enjoy it for a song or two at a time and I don't come back to it that often. But I like to know it's there. k --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
