now, see, thats odd how differently we react. i'm not a proponent of
dsp-fuckery for dsp-fuckery's sake, but i do love some seriously
irritating shit like ae/mike pardinas/tom jenkenson but only really when
they creates an emotional space/progression with their fuckery. for
instance, i just can't stand kid606 and his pals, their tunes just feel
like joe satriani with a laptop oif you know what i mean. whereas my
limited experience with brothemstates (the track's jak got stuck, qtio,
adozenaday in particular) really moved me, much more so than 99% of this
sub-genre has done for years.
speaking of, i'm still more wowed by ae with every release, they manage
to keep going at their own speed pushing their sound ahead... maybe they
dont utterly change their sound with every release like some people seem
to want, but innovation does not nessesarily mean tearing down the
past. personally i'm very impressed by how they have managed to mix
consistancey and progression across a whole decade while remaining
pertinent, very very few artists ever achieve this. i really dont think
any other artist has managed to continue to hold my attention for so long.
