Finally got the new Meat Beat Manifesto 12" in the mail the other day.
"Eccentric Objects" has four songs and mine came with the limited edition
10" flexi-disc (!) with two recordings of some sound recording experiments
from the 60s or 70s.
The four songs I would recommend to those who prefer his more dub styled
songs from Actual Sounds and Voices and Subliminal Sandwich. And the drums
sound very much like a standard acoustic set along with some great analog
synth bass lines and occasional honky saxophone. All songs are instrumental
except one which has a prominently featured female vocal sample.
None of the songs exhibit any trace of his squeaky, squealy, post-industrial
techno.
The first side of the flexi has some scientific audio experiment from the
50's or 60's where somebody recorded sounds of internal organs doing their
work and a second expeiment where the pitch of a male voice is altered.
The second side of the flexi starts out with an eavesdropped recording of
some woman speaking in Spanish on the phone (ala Scanner style) and moves
into a noise/synth/ambient track towards the end.
Neat stuff indeed, but hopefully he gets back to that good ol' bumpin'
throbbin' grindy aggro techno next time around.
More info I'm sure at brainwashed.com/mbm or sputnik7.com
