Just got the 2x12" on Zod in the mail yesterday. This has been the first
thing to really knock my socks off in well over a year.
Fast paced, very computery sounding, solid beats the whole way, not abrasive
or too glitchy, but perhaps slightly on the aggressive side. Reminds me a
little of Mike Paradinas' stronger, harder moments. A step or 2 harder than
Brothomstates' Claro, and not quite as melodic. Sorta like Lexaunculpt on
amphetamines.
I wasn't familiar really with any of the remixers outside of recognizing the
names of Emotional Joystick, Duplo Remote and Curtis Chip. Others include
Digiotaku, Taisuke Matsuo, Mishima Ongaku, Robo*com, Yogo.onomotobok, and
many others.
Recommended if you like: Aphex Twin, Hrvatski, Gescom, A Shocking Hobby,
Otto v Schirach, Proem's first cd, Kid 606, Electric Company...
For all those who stated on this list that you favorite Aphex release is
either Richard D James or I care because..., you'll be eating this one up.
If any of this sounds up your alley, do what you must to find these records.
