First off, I've never heard a DJ-Kicks album that was even close to this style...Action packed Mentallist resembles quality old school breakbeat along with plenty of glitchy, noisy, and wild bits to it. I don't even see how you brought "DJ-kicks" into this...
Secondly, does anybody understand Kid606's modus operandi?? Apparently a lot of you don't...The kid is pure satire with variety. I personally have always LOVED anything that murdered pop tunes, waaay prior to kid606 releasing mass music. Sometimes a good bit of you geeks act like everything should sound like fucking Aphex or Autechre; but then if somebody releases some shit like that, you disrespect them for biting their style. What's the hype over the Kid about? Well, can anyone tell me ANYTHING that sounds similar how to this particular album was put together? Sure, there's been plenty of pop remixes; but nothing close to this. It's a pure medley of over 8 genres...If you don't like someone mashing-up samples; don't listen to it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Its not like experimental electronic music is forced upon you...Hell, does anybody on the list know of a radio station that even plays solely experimental elec. music? I sure don't. That doesn't matter though, with stuff like this, and many others available; the fun doesn't stop. Kid606's music is all in good fun & intentionally attempt to provoke strong reactions: both good & bad. The bottom line is; listen to what you like, post to the list well-written reviews of what you like, but don't waste bandwidth & time over blind criticism. This is a good mailing list; but the purpose of a mailing-list is to inform & discuss information. If someone posted such a flame post over "Drukqs" there would be a thread so long I'd get a couple digests with that alone...If you are overly critical of anything, at least try & dissect, review, & give suggestions about how the artist can improve...
Respect.
