Either its because I'm Canadian, or just a passive listener, but I feel
the need to apologize. After listening to this new Slazenger disc, I'm
getting even more hooked. I love it! Fantastic, (minus a few tracks) the
general impression is good. However, I truely understand why several
objections to my global praising would make sense. Paradinas' material
is definately an acquired taste... I definitely have it, many people
find his music boring and undesirable. Most of the time I rarely
venture into "happy" music, as I prefer the more searching and
subliminal soundscapes.. music that don't quite have that ear-to-ear grin
effect on the listener. But, I do really like this new disc.
I suppose it was a good awakening to the actual diversity that exists in
such a focused conference. IDM is truely the worlds most diverse
underground culture (dare I say the 'u' word again, however, the
"alternative" would be deadly! :-) )
So, with shame and disgrace, I withdraw my earlier statement regarding
Slazenger's new album. I don't deny loving it, but Paradinas' fans will
still only be a small and selected few.
Yours in the continuing respect for individual talent....
