Sellotape Flowers This record is really growing on me. Funny thing is that re: recent discussion it kind of reminds me of a matured depechemodesqe sound. Playful, sexy, very bold sounds, but with a dark undertone. I like that it's very musical, but not in an overly crunchy way. Think arovane, but less floaty. I don't quite know if this will end up as a top 10, but it's certainly a quality release, especially as Ihave been getting bored by the crunchy beats cum soft harmonies style... -Gil --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

I was wondering if anyone else heard this yet. I too found 'Sellotape Flowers' intriguing. It's actually a bit "cold" sounding at times, but with very subtle (and wonderful) harmonies beckoning in the backdrops. Nice flow, diversity, and sound placement. Probably won't be in my top 10 either but I'd say it's worth a listen. synctank ----- Original Message ----- Date: Wed, 18 Apr 2001 11:31:26 -0400 (EDT) To: IDM list <idm@hyperreal.org> From: Gil <gyaker@fragment.com> Subject: Geiom - Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.10.10104181120240.21785-100000@nowhere.fragment.com> Sellotape Flowers This record is really growing on me.

yeah, i agree...even bouncy. not all the tracks are dark. i'm listening to this for about the 4th time now, and i like it better each time. this isn't a very challenging album, but it's interesting to listen to and is surprisingly subtle. it has some psytrance elements to it, even. and i don't think things need to be challenging to be worthwhile. rachel rachel perkins | content-type: text/smackdown system.out.println("bah"); --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
