spunk jazz sampler 10" (ILL) hark the sound of spunk jazz, well what is it then i hear you mutter? ok, heres the facts, 2 track sampler for a forthcoming compilation on a label set up by main man at biggie uk distribution company 'charged', said compo features many members of the spymania & bo vinyl crews as well as our very own kung funk (aka hoarse operator) and here is the precursor as black flag's producer spot remarked, "punk and jazz have a lot in common, recordings are sometimes undisciplined and lacking in polish, but often brilliant" add the urban tangle of drum n bass to this equation & there yer go - spunk jazz with their track "spare parts", spymania upstarts 'paddington breaks' summon up the spirit of the santana band to commence a furious bongo-led latino wig out jam with the sonically twisted and abrasive prescence of throbbing gristle, driven frenetic percussion, a tremendously funky earth- quakin bottom end and distortion boxes set to kill are the order of the day here, with random atonal interjections of feedback and heavy filter abuse sustaining the tension, it's an incredible rollercoaster ride that you just don't wanna stop ironically enough animals on wheels track "f.v.a." is entirely composed of "drill'n'bass" [yeuch] spare parts, disposable ones at that, time stretched tumbling breaks, sickly childlike melodies and a wafting wah wah guitar sample are thrown together in some semblance of order, art for art's sake mate a problem i have with genre-fied compilations such as these, are as soon as the big boys try to define a movement, you suspect that creatively the very movement that they are trying to encapsulate has lost it spark, sure legions of imitators attempt to fill the shoes of the *true* innovators with inept facsimiles of a blueprint that never existed in the first place (except within marketing porfolio's & the pages of the back slap happy music press), but by the time these compilations hit the racks those blazed the path will be a step ahead, as baambatta put it "looking for the perfect beat" beat dis! stuart @ 4thworld -- http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/4thworld/ purpose:cutting edge mail order:archive:new skool electronica 60m dj mix:label [m/f] 01 [boards of canda, fabric soap stars, lucky & easy, itchabug,& 1]12" due 10/97

now i really couldnt comment on that......... ;-) Spymania and Bovinyl get lumped together all the time.... i really cant see any comparison... other than they both hail from brighton and both have connections to squarepusher....i.e. squarepusher was on Spymania.. bovinyl try to imitate squarepusher.. nuff said! Hopefully the direction that Spy-05 (d.i.a.l.) has taken will stop these comparisons.... Steve (im fed up of kungfunk! a couple of people off IDM said hello at the bluenote planet mu thing, but they didnt know my name... they just said 'are you kungfunk?' with a sort of embarressed 'thats a dumb name' look on their faces..! never pick your email address when youre drunk!) /k/./F/.........:)
