Of those three, LSD is the real clincher for me. I would say the last track
on LSD is similar to Windowpane (I don't know it's name offhand). "O Rose
Thou art sick / Seduce let loose the vision and the void / Blood suckle and
honey suck / ...": nice spoken poetry backed by a spooky quivering bassline.
Besides that it's a real eclectic album (and I don't mean that as a
euphemism; it's mostly solid). And I think there's a Windowpane single too
which damn I should've gotten when all these things were actually available.
The Snow EP never did much for me. Although I would like to know what's
going on with the synthesized voice at the very beginning (Windowpane
"Minimal Mix" maybe)--it's chorused or something and it sort of bounces
around octaves real quickly--a nice effect that they could do much more
with. (A vaguely similar vocal effect is at the very beginning of Perspects
"Where are We.")
I'm always interested in electronic modifications of the voice, so if anyone
has any recommendations for interesting effects on voices let me know. I
mean like clever filters and such, not just cut-'n'-paste wankery (cf. Coil
"Disco Hospital" on LSD) or plain vanilla vocoding. E.g., couldn't you use
a 303 as a pitch-setting mechanism (i.e., either modify it directly to input
vocals somehow or use it to control a computerized auto pitch-adjust
mechanism a la Cher) to effectively get "acid vocals"? I don't know the
first thing about hardware (obviously), but at least this is the kind of
creativity I'm talking about.
