greetings idm heads, i'm matthew. my first idm post concerns the
jega release on skam. somebody raved about this release the other
day, which made me feel good because i knew that my copy was in
the mail. the bola release and especially the freeform release
on skam impressed me. but i must say that i'm quite disappointed
with jega. i expect a miss or two among seven tracks, but jega's
got more misses than hits. while most of the songs could be
considered mildly uninteresting, a couple are downright annoying.
that's coming from someone who likes tracks like aphex twin's
"ventolin (video version)." at least *that* track qualifies as
*interesting* annoying idm.
sorry about the lack of a descriptive review; i haven't heard enough
good idm to communicate to you exactly *what* sucks about jega. i
just want to make sure people don't give up on skam after hearing
only jega...
as long as i'm on skam artists, would anybody care to comment
(publicly or privately) on freeform's _elastic speakers_ on
worm interface? i just joined idm last week so sorry if i missed
previous discussion.
matt (who has a copy of jega for trade)
