Still on the BC/CR artists identity tip, I'm intrigued to know the provenance and spirit of a project/artist going by the name of 'shapes & forms'. I recently came by a number of tracks by shapes & forms that sound like someone parodying the BC/CR sound (reinforced by titles that seemed like intertextual references). The sound is so generically BC/CR (obsessive 4-on-the-floor kickdrum, post-house keyboard stabs suffused with grainy background noise, and dubby effects; there are dead ringers here for tracks by the likes of Maurizio, Scion, Fluxion) that it almost comes across as caricature. What's more, the source of some of the tracks appears to be an album mischievously entitled 'Plagiarism'. So, anyone know what the game is here...? alan/beyond...sound Quoting "henrik str.mberg" <hs@groove.st>:
