VVM005 Chart Runners: dark and disturbing, yet highly amusing. if you loved the 7", you're not going to believe this.... CV[ev] compiles a collection of completely insane tunes which either are: a) dark, harsh, rough, noisy pieces which remind me slightly of older Lustmord (no autechre cardboard cutouts within 100 miles of this fine piece of vinyl) b) highly insane pieces which resemble sounds you've heard before but in an altered state (you know, opera, polka, all the good stuff) The result is fairly different and at times reminscent of the Missingtoe and Whine release, but takes it much further. The release comes with a handy listening guide which quotes the likes of Rimbaud and Kerouac and has lots of keen pictures and is great for hours of pondering over in attempts to find some meaning. But in the end, its the manipulating of those sounds in all those very weird ways that make it competely unique and well worth checking out... ---------------------------- VVM6.1 Shoplift This is the release that VVM is out and about hiding, planting and such. Its out there for (at least the UK folks) to steal (retrieve, reclaim, recover) and its a good kick... i was pretty excited about it and ended up laughing for maybe five minutes straight... thats really all I've got on this one... except maybe its a concept release =) MildManJan mini-review on the way soon also... gots to get me some eats... http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ sfwd.dyn.ml.org [on rare occasion* [V/VM][blackdog] ETC-+/////////// @ICq#12645306.......? .xxxx@xxxxx.xxx
