Happy fun organic analog IDM, a little experimental, a little poppy. The disc is split into 3 parts (tracks 1-7, 8-12, and 13-19), each has a distinct sound and can be played as a continuous song. The first bit is Matmos-style future disco, almost danceable but not quite. The second is more experimental with washes of sound and static. The third part is a nice compromise, not too out there but with some fantastic bleeping. *1. fast paced splurts 2. A more poppy track 3. Slow gargles **4. Driving funk 5. Med tempo electronic honks *6. Echoey space electro 7. Futuristic “Billie Jean”? 8, 9, 10. Quiet creaking and banging gradually fills out to creepy wails 11. Buzzing static *12. Slow, creepy and drawn out *13. Cool skipped beat video game sounds **14. Strange tempo fluctuations fast/slow in same measure *15. 80s style funky *16. Med tempo, great drunken sounds 17. Slow driving beat 18. Static melody with a pounding beat *19. Echoey splurts over stop/start Ben Bostwick 6/2/04 | ||
