Tally Ho! is one killer record. With every Luke Vibert release I am reminded how much fun can be had with a bunch of vinyl records and a sampler (well throw some synths in too for good measure). I love Ae type stuff, but when it becomes too much abstraction, I always return to the collage work of Vibert and Amon (and others). You know what I mean, it's not about treating the samples, it's about how they interact with each in certain contexts. I believe that often that takes more skill than delving into abstraction... My favorite art is the kind filled with contrasts, and Luke Vibert's work is no excpetion. Never have I heard such meticulous attention to detail sound so care-free. His records consistently create a good vibe, reminding the listener not to take the artist too seriously, because after all he's just dorking around with his sampler and a collection of records. DJ shadow eat your heart out. peace Nate On Wed, 14 Oct 1998, Sean McGonagle wrote: > Hi all, > > Wondering what people are thinking about the new Wagon Christ full-length. > I just picked up a copy yesterday -- which i think was the domestic release > date anyway. > > I know that there has been some talk about it, but just curious what others > think. > > In light of Throbbing Pouch, it seems as though he collected a lot of fun > wacky material and lots of fun new toys and gadgets just before Throbbing > Pouch was recorded . . .
