Got my Flanger in the post today (Thanks Ninjas!!) Think 70s fusion jazz. Think digital madness, incredibly tight/precise programming. Think cheesy chunks (good cheese). Even think a spot of dub. NOW think of the way Senor Coconut seemed to move between its faux Latin to cheese to digital mania sporadically...sometimes seamlessly (e.g., that incredible Fx-ed snare drum roll) so you'd find yourself "somewhere else" if you turned your head for a minute and sometimes like falling off a cliff. Very acoustic sounding drums interspersed with digitalia. Prominent fender-rhodes sounds and lifelike (sometimes) bass. Neither Bernd nor Uwe sound out-of-sorts at all....NUF gets jazzy at times, and, well, what DOESN'T Atom Heart do? It seems to me like Uwe's influence is the most predominant, but maybe it's because he's really identifiable. I like this record. Fun, flashy and done with the high sense of humor we've come to expect (yet with great respect to what they cop and great skill to boot) from these guys. Again, thanks to the Ninjas for generosity - and with a bit of a break in form which this release is (btw, I'm pro-ninjatune). jeff -- jeff "10,000 people all screaming the same thing at the same time are wrong, even if they're right." dancing/about/architecture "...with wandering steps and slow..."
