on the Kid 606 front, i like his live sets that I've
seen, and I dig the split with lsr and the first full
length on VC. I was ecstatic about Down With The Scene
for the first two weeks I owned it, listening to it
non-stop, when suddenly I found it annoying. I'm
starting to really get in to most of it again... still
don't like the way "GQ on the EQ" drags out using the
same beat for too long, nor do i dig the track with
Mike Patton too much, but the rest is good, especially
the last few tracks.
The Kid-606 and Friend's vol 1 record blows my mind
every time i listen to it, as I love noise and it's
the most amazingly delicate and rocking noise-IDM i've
heard, which is admittedly not too much. anyone with
recommendations in that direction would be
appreciated; also how do the remixes on their compare
to the stuff that the artists do themselves?
the best thing about kid-606 is that he's gotten me
excited about IDM and glitch electronics and breaks
again. Because of 606, I've been picking up records by
Cex, Autechre, Oval, Boards Of Canada, Otomo
Yoshihide, 12k comp, mego, etc... and I've started
working on my own tracks in this general arena of
experimental/edgy electronic music...
so he may be grabbing spotlights from other deserved
acts but his popularity is generally good for the
scene. Without influxes of new people, the music will
get stagnant...
In any scene there are usually a couple artists that
gets a lot of attention and others that don't, so
that's why one has to do some research and
investigation to find the bands that appeal most
directly to your particular aesthetic tastes...
anyhow i gotta get some work done,
Anthony
