I recently picked up the new Luke Vibert 12" on Mo Wax. It is a really nice
continuationof the the style on "A polished solid". Its more downtempo ala
Wagon Christ but it has a much more live feel. The drums sounds are more or
less like a real kit. The bass a has thet acoustic sound. Whereas Wagon
Christ tended to be more otherworldly in the drum and synth sounds, the vibert
material is almost real. I've listened to it a few times and see no resembance
to the Plug stuff. This is breaking no new ground, but it has a mellow,
relaxing beauty that soothes.
The only bummer is the little phrase "taken from the upcoming album" I noticed
at the bottom after I got it home. Does this mean there's nothing on it that
won't be on the full length? Mo' Mo' Wax milking of my money for a non-promo
promo. Nice die cut sleeve though.
