Spooky is from the school of old school hip-hop and dub. He's not about playing a set that sound like the same freaking song played for 90 mintes and anal retentive technique worship. It's all about the mindfuck. Just because he has some delusions of granduer in his liner notes has little to do with what his music sounds like. I saw the Scanner/DJ Spooky show last night in SF, and while I think Spooky was a little off last night(both of the performers made it well known that they were not happy with the sound setup), I've seen him before and been blown away. Nonbelievers and the curious should pick up "Songs From a Dead Dreamer" and the "Galactic Funk" 12'. Final Note: If you don't like him, fine. If you feel the need to resort to high school insults, flame me by private mail. ------------------------

Tah! This IDMer was a TT proponent while his stuff was still in demo! I don't recall his first two Instinct (and first Comatonse) CDs having excessive linear notes. But as you pointed out, Terre's got you reaching for the dictionary and spooky usually has me turning the page... I subscr!be to TT's e-news letters and they incite smiles every time. Now *there's* an ambient dj who can juice... Teep

Really? I've got Soil (which is excellent BTW and on right now) and the liner notes are pretty minimal.

well.. i was thinking about Couture Comestique specifically.. i e-mailed him a couple of times asking what certain songs were about, and he'd go on for pages. i was quite impressed. he definately puts some thoughts into his music. ------------------------------------------------- wells oliver : s0ewoliv@titan.vcu.edu "perhaps all pleasure is relief" : w.s.b. -------------------------------------------------
