>BTW--Anyone ever heard Antediluvian Rocking Horse? Got an advert for them >from Seeland and it seemed to be something I'd be liking. Anyone reviews?? Here is the low down as I see it. Most wouldn't put this under the "intelligent" moniker of IDM. It is basically a bunch of appropriated samples (which they didn't pay copyright for) cut and looped in a way to make dance music. Some guy Ollie Olsen added beats or something to it. I actually like it, it is fun and kind fo silly (they use burps for the bassline to one of the songs). I don't think it would be a lot of people on this list's cup of tea though. The one annoying thing is that the real tracks are broken with random, weird tracks of what sounds liek someone just turning the knob on the radio a lot or just a long monologue taken from somewhere. They aren't very inteteresting and they seem pointless ot me. Got to give them kudos for espousing the Negativland no copyright ideal, although they aren;t out to make any statements whatsoever. I interviewed them for a humor ezine I write for called The Shrubbery. Check it out at www.theshrubbery.prohosting.com and then look for it in archives. Its the ezine's one year anniversary...hooray! This might be off topic, but an thinking about ordering the new-ish Stars of the Lid, the one where they incorporate sounds from Jon McCafferty's paintings...how do they do that? Like, what sounds does he actually make painting? Just curious to see if they really do anything interesting or if it is just Stars of the LId with the moise of some guy mixing his paints over it.
