Am I tuned to a different channel?
Eat Static _Implant_ (planet dog)
Honest friends, I tried four times to give each track a *full* listen.
Each time I found it was not long before I had heard just about enough.
Thus, my notes are sparse, but they are potent.
*Let's get into it man!* J. Brown
I don't feel the words funky apply to this double pack too strongly.
(My funk-0-meter only registered 2.5 our of 8) Trance thumps tip
the scale on almost every side. But, the real issue here is the
musical virus spread inbetween the 4/4 thumps and faux groove, which
kills every passenger on the Implant ship.
Perhaps I am missing the point here but, the tracks on a whole
sound quite unmelodic and just plain noisy. Each *song* telegraphs
in stiff simplicity. Acid by numbers. Dare I call it formula trance?
YES!
Minimal DOES NOT have to mean motionless.
I don't find myself in any way connected to what my ears are hearing.
Eat Static breaks no new ground. People will not be talking about
_Implant_ years from now. (Who cares though, right!)
It is important that I mention this 2x12" was received quite well in
the Netherlands, Detroit, and on out to Cali, to Cali, to Cali...but
*I don't think so." L.L. Cool J.
If you are interested in buying my copy, I will send it to you for
15 US dollars, shipping included. (2day)
