OH yes yes yes,
Being a Locust fan I disagree with your assesment of TIBOA, but it's your opinion
and I can see why you don't like it too much. I think Weathered Well is a much
better produced album, therefor you may like it. It is darker (IMO) and the
rhythms are a bit more (oh god I gotta use this word) dance based. WHat I mean
by that is to me, TIBOA contains some beats that sound like tribal stuff. WW
has beats that sound like they were produced on a drum machine and nowhere
else.
If you like music that is spooky, _XENOPHOBE_ (track #3), this is a must buy.
Like I said, gun to the head, this is the one I'd buy without thinking (it's in my
blood!) You mentioned, you don't like it when there is no variation in rhythm.
Well, some tracks on WW suffer this (esp. XENO) but the following track
WEATHERED GATE I find to have one of the most complex beats ever written.
By first glance it just sounds like a dance beat, listen to it through headphones
and email me back when you get a total # of layers on that beat. I am still
counting!!! I don't know if its simply the effects processors he used on this track,
but Mark has got me by the balls on this drum beat. I love it. Layer after layer
the beats build and build, then they get stripped, and build right back up
exactly when you crave more (its perfect!)
NOW I *NEED* to get Natural Composite.
good luck,
