wonderful!
So how come no-one's been banging on about how cool'n'groovy /
boring-old-farty, enrapturing / snooze-inducing, fresh'n'wild /
same-old-same-old 'Trans Canada Highway' is?
Could this be a sign of an IDM cultural climate change, indicating that
IDM-peeps are no longer hanging on their every note or enigmatic
squiggle to impute strange significances?
I mean... what's the point of subscribing to this list if a guy can't
get a mailbox full of people inchoately slavering over/whining about the
latest emissions of their idols?
Tsk. Call yourself an IDM-list - IDM SchmyDM...
OK, you need someone to start the ball rolling, is that it? Right. 6
tracks: 1 you know, 'Dayvan Cowboy', as per the album (did you check
that video? Yeah, video of guys surfing. Cool. If you like surfing, that
is. If you don't. Not so cool. Last track is a remix by Odd Nosdam of
the aforementioned track - a 9 minute oddyssey (geddit?) that traipses
distractedly between some sort of smack-ambient noodle and
hypno-drone-hop semi-propulsion with gaps in between, like he got bored
and went off to make a cuppa and left the record button on (he did?
aah.. *cool*). All very um... *odd*... In between there are '4 new
tracks' none of which sound that new, but they're all OK. Bit like the
album, really. You probably heard 'Skyliner' at bleep.com and it got you
mildly aroused if not entirely creamed.
Will that do to kick us off? OK, I know it's not Lester Bangs or Ian
Penman or Kodwo Eshun, but hey... you got no excuse now. And don't give
me that coy sh|t about release dates. You've got an internet connection
haven't you... don't pretend you haven't already downloaded the whole
thing P2P and proudly burnt it for all your mates. Yes, you there...
