From: Carved from a Block of Gouda <xxxx@xxxx.xxx> : Third Eye Foundation is pretty much in a category by itself. I was : lucky to see him play live, and his new material is the sort of mutant : breakbeat stuff that seems like the future of something, if not : electronic music... you know, interestingly, when i saw him live he played a bunch of new material (i think it was, anyway, and i've got most/all of his releases) and it was almost totally beatless. just kind of gentle bass throbs and pulses overlaid with concretized turkish musique samples. it was beautiful stuff, i wish i had a tape of it. : I like the "in version" CD a lot. If I had a complaint about the 3rd eye : stuff its that his lo-fi production ethic takes away some impact from : his tracks. Makes me want to remix his stuff to add a little space back : in. another interesting point - i read an interview with matt/3ef in which he kind of dissed flying saucer attack's lo-fi ethic and talked about how he wasn't opposed to using multi-track recorders, etc. i think a lot of the lo-fi quality of "ghost" comes from his heavy use of samples which he pitches down extremely, giving them a grainy, low resolution texture. "sound of violence" is pretty well-produced, though. gaa, [xxxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx] [http://www.netaxs.com/~grievous/] "no more dinosaurs, no more trees couldn't find the vinyl, no record stores."
