Got my Flanger in the post today (Thanks Ninjas!!) Think 70s fusion
jazz. Think digital madness, incredibly tight/precise programming. Think
cheesy chunks (good cheese). Even think a spot of dub. NOW think of the
way Senor Coconut seemed to move between its faux Latin to cheese to
digital mania sporadically...sometimes seamlessly (e.g., that incredible
Fx-ed snare drum roll) so you'd find yourself "somewhere else" if you
turned your head for a minute and sometimes like falling off a cliff.
Very acoustic sounding drums interspersed with digitalia. Prominent
fender-rhodes sounds and lifelike (sometimes) bass. Neither Bernd nor
Uwe sound out-of-sorts at all....NUF gets jazzy at times, and, well,
what DOESN'T Atom Heart do? It seems to me like Uwe's influence is the
most predominant, but maybe it's because he's really identifiable. I
like this record. Fun, flashy and done with the high sense of humor
we've come to expect (yet with great respect to what they cop and great
skill to boot) from these guys. Again, thanks to the Ninjas for
generosity - and with a bit of a break in form which this release is
(btw, I'm pro-ninjatune).
