You know, __please__ peter-acre don't take this personally, this is a
message for the whole list, but I HATE seeing reviews like this. There
is NOTHING here about what the 12" is like and why it might be
"INCREDIBLE". It may well be brilliant, but what happens is that I'm
left with a vague impression that there's something special about this
release, but no real content for me to make up my own mind. Some of the
time then, when I'm doing a big international order, I'll go "oh that's
meant to be good" and waste money on something which just isn't my style
at all.
In this case, I'll probably love the Dabyre. But there was, for
instance, a spate of Freeform reviews a few years ago going on about how
brilliant her was, and whenever I listened it sounded like that "funky
house" shit I hate... I'd really appreciate that if people are going to
come out and comment on some release they really like, they'd maybe just
_try_ and explain what's so good about it, and give us a few points of
comparison... Please?
Cheers,
Peter
PS Something that annoys me potentially even more is the level of
"creative writing" one might say in the press releases or label-written
blurbs we read on the bentcrayon/skimo/forcedexposure releases lists
these days. There's similarly so little information given about what the
_music_ actually sounds like half the time. [Don't get me wrong - half
the time they're highly informative.] Ah well.
