Here's a review of it done by Rob...from the 3.99 issue of "The Technotic
Times", available on line at www.technotica.com ...
----------------
ENDPOINT COMPILATION 01- ENDPOINT/DUSTTRAXX This is "Chicago's newest
independent label,
signing avant-gardists from around the world, and releasing some of the
most innovative and provocative
experimental sounds being produced today." Here are Restless Rob's takes on
the tracks-
-Rehab. Vs Skycraft 'How Many More Times Can We Fuck This Up?' - Is there
something wrong with my CD
player .? No, this is just an oddly mechanical texture.Maybe there is
something wrong with my CD .
-Second Man 'Bound' - Mysterious Casio Funk with a TickTock beat and
electronic squiggles. More of a doodle
than a full-fledged track, but, "hey Mon, is interesting. Know what Im
saying?" Check out the Koto-esque
breakdown.
-Kush 'Moon Boots' - More space/arcade sounds then what sounds a heck of a
lot like a 606 snare A pleasant
journey, even if not to anywhere in particular.
-CNS Engineering 'Queuefa' - Snip snappy, cool outa-space, low key funk
jive. A fun, minimal mood maker.
-Nudge 'Sprung' - Somethings slinking, its electric, I think, with a
minimal feel. Not my favorite.
-Solenoid 'M-Box' - Ah! Something funky - with a distorted bass kick - that
you can sink your teeth into.
-Salvo Beta 'Eating the Last Marshmallow' - Phase sampled distortions that
sound a lot like Godzilla taking a stroll
to me.
-Skycraft vs Rehab. '#5(Superdope) - Can you get beyond that fingernails on
blackboard sound? If you can, you
might enjoy those electronic horn riffs.
-Nudge 'Still Life with Crack and Rainbow' - Wow and flutter! Minimal,
pleasant, but not very involving.
-Diminish 'Stuntfellows'- Percolating, musical humor some kind of
circus-oid travelogue.
-Solenoid 'Cowberd II" - Is this darned CD skipping again? No, its just
more kamikaze sound assault.
-Salvo Beta 'Crossing the FM Marsh(a Remix)' - Spacey, ethereal, and quite
demented, sort of like banging you
head by accident over and over again.
-Second Man 'Abusing Rob' - Sampled, sliced and somehow scary, while at the
same time silly. Fun, but is it music?
P.S. Dont answer the phone!!!!!!!!
