I always find it interesting how opinions can
differ so much. Here's a copy of my review of
"Clean Pit & Lid" from amazon.com:
....................
I was really looking forward to hearing this
Seefeel side project, and given the vintage
(early 1996 Warp), it should be just great.
What I found was almost nothing but despair and
depression. All but two tracks on this album
(Gammi and Kracht) have some sort of forlorn,
dark, distant melody. Tracks like Conviction Hic
and Pit sound like the music of blind fish in an
underground cave filled with blood. Ack.
The percussion is decent and sounds much like
Seefeel, but borrows a lot from Autechre and
Aphex. (I gave this CD two stars because of the
nice crunchy drum tracks.)
I have no idea what "Clean Pit and Lid" as a
title is supposed to mean. But Mark Clifford of
Disjecta has created the perfect soundtrack for
how you feel when you've got food poisoning.
Maybe even Clifford himself hated this music,
which could be why he disappeared after releasing
it.
There is a plethora of better music on Warp to
explore. Avoid this album like the plague, and
I'm not even close to kidding.
....................
A year after first hearing this album, I still
feel this way. IN MY OPINION, it is by far the
worst recording in the Warp Records catalog.
Good thing I didn't waste my money on it.
I haven't heard the single from the album
("Looking for Snags" -- is that what it's
called?). Could anyone offer their review of it?
I might give it a chance if it sounds nothing
like the album.
