yeah, it blows. (cue applause)
no, seriously, not that good - i think it's on fuzzy box, which is a warning
in and of itself; fuzzybox being the "electronic" sister label of darla
(wuss rock paradise), so most of the artists seem to be remedial wuss
rockers trying to flip the script and go electronic. consequently, most of
it sounds like the half-assed noodling of rock kids who just got their
GrooveBox and can't wait to show their moms/the world how good they are at
ambientojunglistidm wank.
if you're looking to blow some cash, buy the venetian snares CD - it's
brilliant, like old squarepusher (when his records were worth buying, when
he was on spymania) having a bugger-baby with panacea (when his records were
worth buying, when he was fat and ugly) or perhaps it's more like some weird
canadian guy with lots of time to scatterplot his breakbeats with an
intensity so nerdish it's almost psychotic.
or if you're one of those chirpy little IDM-listenin' MAMA'S BOYS who needs
TWEE LITTLE MELODIES all over everything, you could buy something by
Frederik Schikowski, who, most of this list be damned, is the best thing
going in that department.

a corporate satan anyway." - norb
