Subject:: RE: [idm] syndrone / fizzarum

I was feeling especially open minded today, so I wasn't too much put off by the gushing over Syndrone to check it out. My take? Okay, this stuff is really good. More depth than I've heard in a while...I'm going to order this. Also, cruising the site, I found Fizzarum's "Vesat" from the Squadron compilation. I like these guys, but this song sounds like it could have come straight offa Incunabula. I'm not sure how to take this...on the one hand, I dig the song...on the other hand, it sounds like Autechre from 8 years ago. These guys do have some originality, though, and they do seem inspired at times...I find myself hoping that this is only the beginning of a musical 'growing up'. If these guys can mimic autechre THIS well, they have an ear and some talent. Now it comes time to see if they challenge themselves to do something completely unique. This could be fun. ---brian ------------------------ Brian W.

He's utterly amazing, i find his music as mechanical as Ae, yet within a surprisingly humane streak through his melodies. Its incredible, all of you, PLEASE, go listen to audio samples at www.m3rck.net. The Merck CD release was utterly amazing, as was his performance at SINFEST 2000. my regards to travis if he is reading this, i utterly adore your music. respects rotkin.te (the_desig)

No, I'd say this particular song sounds very similar to what Autechre did on Chiastic Slide, though in Fizzarum style...

Their full album on Domino containing the Vesat track you mentioned is indeed a unique and absolutely brilliant mastrepiece of idm in its best. This particular track is like a reminder of their roots... 8) The whole album sounds different from this track yet has the same feeling of complex melodies and science fiction Ae once had... If you could listen to their older live set you would not find anything similar to Ae and that live was a basis for album on Domino as they told once in the mail to me.

Alien btw. The live set had much more inserts from the famous Soviet science fiction cartoon "The Secret of the third planet" than the album on Domino... I love those. 8) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Since they have been signed to Domino so you can probably check easily their evolution or lack of evolution...
