yes, it's quite good...it does sound different than 'haunt me', but
listening to them back-to-back i can hear a lot of similarities in tone,
use of ambience, etc...'haunt me' is a lot more stripped down and stark. i
bet if you play a few copies of it on 3 or 4 systems simultaneously,
slightly off-time, you'll get something close to the dense sound of 'my
love...'... 'my love...' feels a lot more playful, of course, and to be
honest, i like the sounds and the complexity in it a bit more than 'haunt
me'.
but yeah, van halen. that's completely obvious listening to the first
track. a chopped and channeled lick from 'ain't talkin bout love' is
currently smacking me in the face. can't see how i missed it the first few
times. and according to the alien8 site:
'Here Hecker has laced together snippets of interviews, concert
announcements and the manipulated sounds of the original artist to come up
with possibly the most engaging experimental electronica to emerge in some
time. Sampled voices unfold while a transformed guitar chord comes tearing
from the left to the right speaker before erupting and reshaping itself
again.'
"eddie claims sammy bit him in the back 15 times." heh.
also, white trash!
