it's funny, but the two best "post-rock" records i heard this year (apart
from godspeed's, which was released in '98) came from brokeback and papa m,
two tortoise emigres who both left that group for the same reason: to
pursue less structured approaches to the idiom. (it's precisely in
tortoise's overbusy structure, beginning with "millions now living...,"
that i find the source of my boredom with them -- same with squarepusher
and recent autechre.) another tortoise departee, bundy brown, also put out
one of my favorite records of '97, "directions in music," which i still
listen to about once a week. it's funny, but tortoise seems to have become
more significant to me as an alma mater...
obidm: the new fenn o berg cd on mego is a pretty fun listen. (this is a
compendium of fennesz/jim o'rourke/peter rehberg live shows from '98.) a
total fucking mess, but a pretty one, with smears of electronics and guitar
and heavily fuzzed out farmers manual-esque beats gathering together in
little clouds of chaos. recommended to those who thought computer music
could only be "stuffy."
