Even though I love the music, I don't take it seriously; hell, I promote Scissor Shock with things like "music to give you a migraine!"

Since I was listening to dubstep for the whole recordng process, there's parts that are rhythmically very bizarre (loud snares) and grimey, and there's a lot of little acid techno parts, mixed in with some xylophones and some downright melodic keyboard lines and pop parts. It sounds really broken but complex, I actually think it'd be right up your alley. Even Glice likes it.

It's only 41mb/32 minutes, so it's nothing too taxing to take in, I'm really interested in your opinion on it, it's a lot more electronic than other releases while still feeling really human. If nothing else, the bass guitar parts sound weird as hell (it's just a regular electric guitar, tuned down 2 1/2 steps!) The title track took 2 years to write! |
Downloading it now, I'll let you know what I think of it.

I also HIGHLY reccomend reshape - dance paradox, probably my favorite electronic album of the past 2 years, I know I mention it a lot, but it's SO addictive, almost ikonika-addictive. Have you heard Ikonilka's "Smuck" or "Space Ugly"? Those are pretty rare songs (er, they're not on Hyperdub at least!). I could up 'em for you if you need em. She's also done some badass remixes.

I don't know if I'd really call Odan "weird" (it sounds really reminiscent of some Aphex acid to my ears), but definitely super addictive. You can never get enough of those sounds. Damn! I'll check Dance Paradox too, then. And it'd be really great if you could up those two Ikonika tracks... Haven't heard them.

I don't know, but I've always wondered too ahah. Mono/Poly is so fucking great...

Omni Trio's "Kinetic" for example is probably in my top 10 elctronic songs ever.

I think I'm going to listen to FaltyDL right now! |
gonna check this mix too, really looking forward. I might or might not see Themselves live tonight so I might or might not listen to it tonight ahah. But I'll let you know my opinion too...
Have you already listened to Starkey, iTAL tEK and Boxcutter? If not, you really should. Starkey blasted the fuck out of Dour Festival on Saturday, it sounded like aquatic ear drug or something. Totally mad. I still haven't recovered from that dubstep night ahah.
