Speaking of Glocal Goon, I listenned to the new 2x12" lp of GG at a local
record store and thought that, while some parts were absurd or inventive
in a good way, there were just as many meandering melodies and sections.
It was definitely going out on a limb in terms of some raw and melodic
synth lines, which probably means it is pretty good and I should listen to
it again. I notice that the really great records I get usually have some
very challenging (read: annoying) things in them that I later praise
highly. I guess I'd rather hear raw pathos synth songs than bland
formulaic d-n-b remixes. Not exactly a review, eh?
How about this then: the Boards of Canada 2xLP, while having nice textures
and their brand of elements, struck me as a little samey when I jumped
across the tracks. A functionally ambient record, that is, the music
doesn't jump out at you the way, say, Come to Daddy does... or some
challenging V/VM stuff. I picked this up cheap, as well as the I-F
"Fucking Consumer" (guess that's me, huh?... well, Mr. I-F, thanks you
FUCKING PRODUCER) I like this one quite a bit, maybe 2 tunes that didn't
stand out much. I like the new wave discoid arpeggiations. Fun to mix
with the old tunes, esp The Metro, by Berlin (Ha ha ha ....West German
jab, there...*FUCKING PRODUCER*) Good record, cruel title.
BTW, The I-F cd has 5 more tracks, I think 2 unreleased and 1 from the
Viewlexx "Satellite" ep.
BTW, did you know that people actually buy scratch-breaks-beats records on
CD format? Wh....wh...why?! What do they do with them?? ;-)
