for the longest time i have been of the opinion that chiastic slide was
there most truelly complete and developed album, from start to finish
but when you sit down and listen to lp5, on cd, where you get the whole
thing without flipping, the flow is just amazing, from start to finish, and
the last two tracks(minus the secret) are bloody amazing.
its not that they are losing touch with their melodic excursions as they go
along, as would be the average opinion with their last two albums, its just
they are developing beyond almost the point of perception, that it requires
more and more listens to draw them, the melodies, out, but once you have,
you can never "not hear them" again(sorry, hard to put in words)
im sure that confield will also turn out to be the same(not so sure about ep
7, it, among all their stuff, was truelly just a collection of tracks
instead of a complete album)
everything they have done is amazing, im sure anyone(at least on this list)
would agree, its just with the last three albums, their knowledge of the
machines they use has grown, and thus their expression has truelly come to
bear in their music. tri-repeate and prior are brilliant, but simply,
immature, in a way(as was most music from that era, just good for what you
had to compare it to)
there's way to much stuff these days to do a fair comparison
-"I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that
would make it impossible for me to write music. He said 'You'll come to a
wall you won't be able to get through.' So I said, 'I'll beat my head
against that wall.'"
-John Cage
