Just got ahold of "Goodair + Minimissing" by Erast, on Laboratory
Instinct, and man, this is one fun listen! The music is all over the
map, from some sound collage-ish, noisy type stuff, blending into
IDM/orchestral treatments, morphing into dense rythmwork.... some
random interesting vocal samples and stuff... Just damn fun to hear.
Not DSP wankery, not IDM cliches (heh)... And the Freeform remix of
Goodair is tops, his remixes are always a surprise, to me at least.
Naturally sounds nothing like his recent Skam work,,, The AtomTM remix
is fun, too. I've never heard much AtomTM...
You know, I'm not going to say anything about "album of the year" or
seek will pounce & force me to listen to more of the ghastly o9 album,
but... between this and Ratatat, which I've grown to love, and which is
nothing like this, I think I have a couple of contenders for my
end-of-year best of list, if I remember them then. I probably won't.
