Kind of weak. Since "Self Evident Truth Of An Intuitive Mind", I
think that T-Power's output has really strayed from being very good to
merely mediocre. I bought "Waveform" hoping for more of what the first
album and eps had wrought, but was surprised to hear a disc full of loosely
arranged unfocused experimentation. I was hoping for much more drum&bass-
ish stuff - I think that there was only like one track on the album which
even resembled the T-Power I was used to.
The same goes for "Spaghettification". Only one d&b track (at the
very end of the disc). If you go with the selected tracks I suggested in
my previous post then it does provide a good listen though. Funk, lots of
weird movie samples (some way to long and drawn out, ala Consolidated),
cool noise bits, but mainly dated trip hop. My friend Matt said: "It
sounds like T-Power trying to be Luke Vibert... they should have stayed
with what they were good at.".
Overall, not an album that will be remembered a year from now. Wait
for used copies to appear on everyone's 'FS' lists in a few weeks (after
the Ninja Tune tour is over) if you really want it.
rewop-t.
