This question has been gestating for a while, but it got spurred recently
when listening to the Third Eye Foundation remix of "For the Damaged" by
Blonde Redhead (who, incidentally, were in my home town of Portland last
night putting on the best god damn rock show I've seen this year). At any
rate, at PopKomm in '98, I saw Third Eye Foundation (or something that was
billed as Third Eye Foundation) late one night at a beautiful, slightly
run-down club on the outskirts of K?ln. This consisted of one skinny,
balding fellow punching cards into a synth and churning out piercingly lush
MBV-ish washes of sound and texture that left me either transfixed or
teetering a bit dangerously, and without the benefits of chemical...er...
enhancement. I can't even remember if there were beats involved. This was
the first I'd heard by them, so I naturally trotted over to ye olde local
record shoppe, but although I appreciate Ghost, pretty much everything else
I've heard by the Foundation has disappointingly fallen within the pubescent
"I used to listen to industrial and goth and now I want to try my hand at
being menacing and oh-so-fucked-up" camp. I see a place for that sort of
thing, but I'm still looking for the sound I found that one Cologne spring.
Have they released anything along those lines?????
Thanks much,
M.
