For all of you ART-y types out there, the third volume in the Objets
series is out, as i'm sure you know, however, being an ART-y type myself,
I just wanted to say a few brief words about the CD. It's a collection of
Op-ART stuff previously released, and unlike the first two volumes in this
series. It focuses more on beats and rhythms for the dancefloor, as
opposed to the dreamy synthtronic melodies & tribal percussive workouts
we're used to.
The tracks that really stand out are 'nova', 'M42', and 'flights of
fantasy'. Needless to say--i'm passing on this one for the moment. Yes,
it is on CD-only right now, and has a blue cover. You're better off
listening to the CHECKONE CD mixed by Kirk Detroitio. It's a bit more to
my liking, as it features some stuff from Herbie Hancock & a couple of
other "old cats"--or get Detroit Escalator Co.(Soundtrack 313)
