Still on the BC/CR artists identity tip, I'm intrigued to know the provenance
and spirit of a project/artist going by the name of 'shapes & forms'.
I recently came by a number of tracks by shapes & forms that sound like someone
parodying the BC/CR sound (reinforced by titles that seemed like intertextual
references). The sound is so generically BC/CR (obsessive 4-on-the-floor
kickdrum, post-house keyboard stabs suffused with grainy background noise,
and dubby effects; there are dead ringers here for tracks by the likes of
Maurizio, Scion, Fluxion) that it almost comes across as caricature. What's
more, the source of some of the tracks appears to be an album mischievously
entitled 'Plagiarism'. So, anyone know what the game is here...?
