well, safety scissors' album "parts water" is fucking excellent... lots of reviews call it 80's sounding but to me that's lazy and i think that the dntel remix is pretty well indicative of what you're in for with safety scissors- bouncy vocal tech pop that manages to look at the future through an aged lens. he does all the vocals on his own stuff, but the vocals on the dntel remix feature the guy from kings of convenience whom i would probably not recommend, but perhaps that's just me. also, if you like the more playful aspect of of mr. scissors' stuff, you should check out the pigeon funk ep's. pigeon funk features a rotating lineup that has included/does include: sutekh, kit clayton, safety scissors and... felix kubin maybe? maybe i'm totally off on that. some of the safety scissors stuff does err more on the tech-house side of things the further back you go. other fun things i've heard lately-ish: dat politics- plugs plus goodiepal- narc beacon blectum from blechdom- tracks here and there fischerspooner- one track in particular, called 'the 15th' which i'm almost certain is a cover of a wire song. new wevie stonder album

dntel's live show is pretty incredible... stage presence-wise it's pretty typical for an idm show, though he does fiddle with a few more things than his laptop and there is a guitarist and sometimes jimmy sings (though he always mixes his voice way too low). the first time i saw him, my girlfriend and i just laid down on the floor at the venue... not that it was sleepy sounding, just very sensate... maybe i'm sounding a little freaky now though... the remix album just clicked with me tonight... i liked all the artists involved prior to hearing it but i think i went in with expectations too high... anyway, i like it now but i do wish that people had altered the song more... and as much as i love barbara morgenstern's voice on her own things, i wish she hadn't added her voice to her mix. anyway, gregory __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
