Ok, re-listening now, and I guess I got "ambient" from the repetitiveness
of it. I dunno, after hearing _Fatah Guerilla_ 3xCD, nothing else M-Gauze
has done has impressed me. That triple CD set is quite the highlight of
his career (in my opinion).
Another thing I have against the MD is the cheapness of it, considering the
quality of other MG releases and the way it was marketed. It is pretty
much a blank MD, they didn't even bother to title it. They did do color,
numbered covers though. Mine is fine, but a friend's copy has 8 minutes of
blank space added oddly at the end. Just didn't seem to take the time in
production that is shown on other limited MG releases, and on the Gescom MD.
Plus I was hoping they would do something special with the MD format. Such
as make a bunch of tracks featuring the typical Jone's beats and sounds.
Then you could simply hit "shuffle" and never need by another MG release
again! ;)
