I recall there being some brief mention of the V/VM tribute to Falco last week
or so. Anyhow, I got the record in the mail yesterday and this morning before I
left for work I gave it a quick listen. My opinion? I really don't see how this
can be called a tribute. It is so completely far from anything like the
originals (6 songs included on the double 7") that I have no idea what the point
is. I noticed also on the V/VM tribute from the FAQT magazine CD that the style
is similar; time-stretched vocals, lots of distortion, cd skipping sounds,
skips, pops, click hisses. So is this it? Is this the V/VM sound?
Next. I also got the new Minus record called PK. Interesting record, absolutely
NOTHING like Minus Orange. Closer to Consumed than anything else. One side I
would call an "acappella" of the other. Im terrible with reviews so I apologize,
but one side has beats and the other doesn't so there ya go. Imagine any track
from Consumed, then put a beat in front of it = PK
Next. I got the Peshay vs. Special Forces double pack. Excited I was to hear
something new from Photek so I ordered it. There are 4 tracks - 2 by Special
Forces, 2 by Peshay. No collaboration so its not much of a "vs". The only track
I like is Exocet which sounds SO similar to Photek's - "The Bleeps Tune" it's
funny. Whatever, they'll probably mix together quite well...
I also just got some CD's I should have bought long ago:
Derrick May - Innovator - Haven't listened to it yet (i expect to hear many
classics)
E-Dancer - Heavenly - Listened to it today and yesterday and except for 2 or 3
tracks I love it.
Carl Craig - More Songs About Food - Haven't heard it yet
Detroit - Beyond the 3rd Wave - haven't heard it yet.
Warp 10 + 1 Influences - Heard the first 3 tracks of Disc 1, pretty much what
you'd expect lotsa old electro and music to break to
Over the weekend I got the LTJ Bukem double cd album - Journey Inwards and I
must say that I really love this album. Great stuff. Highly recommended. Easy
listening.
