i finally dropped the bucks for Datachi's "mmale and ffemale" and Leafcutter
JOhn's "Housebound Spirit"
jesus christie. i know i've said it, but thank the lords of the starspheres
for Planet-Mu.
"Mmale and Ffemale" is just a damn damn impressive work of sophisticated
sound design, warped aesthetic pleasures, super-future beats, and sub-sub
conscious melody lines. deep, dark vocal and symphonic samples and
relentlessly inventive beat skattering. listening to it while walking at
night, ... huge alien landscapes are revealed in your mind... it's all sorts
of crazy.
"House Bound Spirit" is even more in the improvey-sounding-avant-ness than i
had expected. it's like... "art" music for long stretches, but done so
tastefully, and is placed in such context that it starts to mean something
so much. when he drops it into "khoms" and then "walk on my back" (more
accessible fare) all the strange, distant sound pieces that preceeded them
are placed in a space that makes them come alive with an intimate honesty.
both are damn bold albums, and hugely successful. hats off to mu for the
endless pursuit of timeless music!
