If people can give me example of other house music that sounds like Luomo I'd be damn appreciative. Thinks that I thought made it quite distinct from other house I've heard include: - things flipping and reversing (esp. noticable on the vocals) - a general vibe of unpredictable events (eg. the above effect; percussion sounds changing shape constantly throughout a track; and sudden crashing sound effects and percussion echoing off) - distortion (without being Daft Punk overdriven acid vibes). some of the squelchy distorting bits reminded me most of Mouse on Mars, actually - new musical developments throughout tracks. sure, they're repetitive, and I'm happy with that, but also tracks have new musical elements come and go and riffs and so on develop, rather than always looping. Didn't someone a couple of days ago (week or so perhaps?) diss 'Vocalcity' because it _wasn't_ house?! It's interesting how people can have such different impressions of what the album is like.
