Got my copy on Thursday and I've been soaking it up all weekend. More good
stuff out of Astralwerks. A few tracks worth mentioning:
Air: Trip #2 - I swear I remember this from the Mixmaster Morris gig in San
Francisco. Brilliant and bright. Some of Namlook's best work.
Divination: Ancient Evenings (Najm-Al-Din) - Very Laswellish. Great, but
nothing out of the ordinary for him.
FSOL: Deep Into Your Subconcious I Slide - Good, but SHORT! 3:55. Sounds
different than Lifeforms in general.
Steve Fisk: Express God - This track is KILLER! I guess Steve has produced
bands like Nirvana, Screaming Trees, and Beat Happening. It shows since this
sound is a complete 180 degree turn from everything else ambient now. Odd
vocals warning us about the express god, surprise beats, distortion-o-matic.
This is a noize-lover's ambient pastry. This is coming out as a single on
Astralwerks with remixes by Mike Kandel. Can't wait.
