today i listened to a bit of the new cd at the local shop, and i was
immediately struck by the first track. it's got exactly the same bassline
as a track from Deep Space Network's "Traffic" live CD. which struck me as
odd, because of the methodology that i understood Cinematic Orchestra used
in making their tunes (making tracks, giving the finished track to a band to
re-record, and then finally re-processed into what the final product is).
wot's, uh, the deal? it's a pretty unique bassline, so i feel certain that
they've both gotten the idea from the same place, if not DSN themselves (the
CD was recorded at Interference Fesival "95, btw)
the cinematic orchestra did sound very similar to cujo/amon tobin in a few
ways. probably more "live" and less "sequenced" sounding. i would have
gotten it, but i settled on the new Mu-ziq, which sounded pants at the shop,
making me wonder if that will last for me. . .
