maybe i missed a post about this, but has anyone heard the new speedy j
album? just picked up a promo copy in the used bin at other music
($7.99 and you CAN'T beat that) during my trip to NYC. anyway, here's
the rundown:
speedy J
a shocking hobby
novamute (anomu74cd)
terre zippy
borax
ferber mudd
balk acid
drill
caligula
vopak
actor nine
sabina seat
amoco cadiz
manhasset
i've only given a few listens, so i can't really give detailed song
descriptions yet. i'll just say it's a definite progression (and a
logical one at that) from public energy #1. heavy processing (sounds
like a lot of metasynth) but not over the top so you're sick of hearing
the same old DSP algorithms being recycled in recent IDM releases. it's
sweet. very sweet. plenty of BASS. if you see it, grab it. i promise
you'll like it.
also, the lovely lovely designers at MEGO (tina frank and company...)
have released an album called 'chicks on speed.' while i was browsing
the store i was fortunate enough to hear a good deal of the album
(unfortunately i didn't have the money to buy everything i wanted so
i'll have to wait a week or so to pick this up) and it's excellent.
three graphic designer 'chicks' singing about whatever is on their mind
over some hyper tweaked hip hop beats and MEGO you know sound quality.
three girls + electronic music + sense of humor = another fine MEGO
related release. and yes, they can actually sing when they try.
the worse feeling, is having a pile of CDs which include DAT politics,
dettinger, senking, profan, hecker, v delay, speedy j,
speedranch^janskynoise, and bruce haack in your hands and only having 30
bucks to spend. i went with speedy j, speedranch^janskynoise, and bruce
haack because i found them in the used bin (i was very happy) and
they're all quality releases. the bruce haack album 'hush little robot'
is quite disturbing. if you don't know about this album, i'll care to
explain in another email.
must pick up the dettinger album soon. and the profan stuff...
over processed music is a lot like over processed food. you reach the
point where you just wish people would STOP putting shit in it just for
the sake of it.
thank you,
christian.adam.hresko.
