Hmm... Interesting. I'll have to hear this. I have mixed reactions to Takemura. I thought "Child and Magic" was a masterly work and I loved "Scope". However, I couldn't warm up to "Funfair". I even dumped it, something I rarely do.... g. -- Guillaume Grenier - gollum@videotron.ca in space there is no north in space there is no south in space there is no east in space there is no west --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Really? I was just listening to it last night and it was totally great, like Oval's schizophrenia tempered by hebephrenia. How can you resist the mighty Sabure? Anyway: I had lost track of Photek sometime after Rings Around Saturn, but ran across his latest album while visiting a friend in Chicago album. After the trashing that Solaris got at the hands of his drum 'n bass acolytes, I couldn't resist a chance to hear Parkes' alleged crimes against humanity. While it certainly fits the "Photek goes house" bill, very few people mentioned how his production methodology still works its magic. One mere measure of the terse, barking steel drum (or whatever the fuck) that carries the rhythm of "Terminus" and you know you're in Parkes' grip- brutally punishing in its austerity for exactly as long as you choose to struggle against it. I had to fight through the deep house tracks in the middle (whose vocals seemed almost plopped down over the track without any interesting contrasts being drawn), but the soothing balm of the later pseudo-ambience provided a surprisingly sweet finish to the whole affair. It's almost enough to make me check out his first proper full-length, despite reservations that it may be a deadly boring tech-geek affair (as I found most latter day full-length drum 'n bass albums to be- if anybody wants to set me straight on this, please feel free). Rounding out the evening was a 3" CD from Apestaartje- I swear there's something inevitably compelling about electronically manipulated guitar samples (c.f. Fennesz, Keith Fullerton Whitman CD, Dean Roberts and Oren Ambarchi); perhaps it's because it has become a nexus between what a friend calls "laptop tomfoolery" and the acousmatic, post-tabletop, approaches to playing the instrument that have gained in popularity as Keith Rowe's influence spreads. Regardless, this is a collection of sparser compositions which highlight plectrum over drone (guitar and non) & it does the trick pretty well. It could've easily appeared on Mego, but that really speaks more towards its consistency of quality than actual sound (which is, nonetheless, compatible). They opened for the Noto/Fennesz/I-Sound extravaganza @ Tonic last week, but I (like most of you) didn't manage to catch their set. Luckily, their presence on the bill reminded me to pick up this record, which is somewhat aptly called "Small Record (or Wait)". -rob ps- Henri Chopin LP on Tangent (heard at a party) blows doors on the above --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
