_9 Deadly Venoms_ was not what I expected. But after giving it a chance, I think that's a good thing. It is less subtle than most recent (genre-label) releases, but that lends it an energy, accurately expressed in terrawatts per second. It's potent stuff. The 'Hubba Hubba Hubba' 12" is considerably closer to the beaten path IMHO, and so if the full-length doesn't sit well with you, give that single a spin. It serves as a kind of musical bridge from the now-familiar BoomBap/DustBros/MoWax thing (which is what I for one was expecting from Depth Charge) to the overboard sound of the full length. Thanks for all the replies to my question about mixers. I am very pleased about the amount and quality of them. Thanks also to Kent for reviewing the new Seefeel! And Kent, regarding you 'obligatory rolling stone/NME blurb', I just wanna say, You and me both, brother. I aspire to be as creative as them Seefeel fellas. True, they wouldn't sound so hot without their reverb and flange, but have you ever noticed how reverb and flange don't sound so hot without quality musical ideas? I am VERY thankful that record labels are willing to distribute music like theirs. (we all have our favorites :) ) Brad

Well put, but Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor sounds kind of lame recorded dry on casiotone too. Concert halls and churches are designed on purpose to have echo and reverb. Those halls were as much an instrument as the ones held by the people on stage. And for the record, some of the reverb on Succour sounds more like they miked an amplifier in a large room rather than pushed it through a lexicon. Which is one of the main things about their sound -- the blurring between guitars, effects, samples and synths. Playing live, you'd probably be suprised at what Sarah actually sings live and what comes from the sequencer. In fact I think she occasionally imitates live the sound of a vocal sample being repeated. -- kent.williams@cadsi.com -- All views expressed are.
