All a matter of opinion of course. Tiki Obmar doesn't really do much for
me, few nice tunes, I think their sophomore work will be more developed and
interesting. The Proem album was absolutely ruined just for that first line
"I don't know how to tell you this but hip hop is dead." I don't lack a
sense of humor, I can guarantee that, but this is not saying anything of
value in any objective way at all as far as I'm concerned---It's just
stupid. Too much of the album as a whole seems to lack depth, not sonically
but conceptually. Serial Human is a good listen, but Unomia has much more
character and atmosphere. It is really a step towards what I feel needs to
happen with electronic music. It is pretty, but there are sinister
elements, some sort of antagonist that I think a lot of recent electronic
music is lacking (Xela, Mum, practically anything that has come out on CCO
or Morr in the last couple years after they both lost their touch... etc).
It's more real and raw. I could go on but this is pretentious and stupid
enough. All a matter of opinion of course.
