>>Got a promo of burger/ink a few days back. Ugh. One of the most >>boring, just "blah" things I've heard in a long time. Dullness. >>Figured someone had to say something bad about this record. >Arthur, try giving this one repeated listens. You may >find it gets better with age. Tried already. Hardly even got my foot tapping, and the only track I really do like, the last one, uses an (the?) old Third Eye Foundation progression, so it wasn't very effective. >But for basic channel-sounding german electronica, >you can't get much better than this release especially >at a domestic price. Imagine Maurizio mixed with The >Bionaut, The Modernist, Gas, or other J Burger releases. Well, for one, I've been utterly unimpressed by both Burger tracks I've heard (one on Deutscher Funk as the bionaut and one as J. Burger on some random 12") - they weren't bad (liked them more than burger/ink) but I wasn't too excited either. More to the point - THAT'S what Basic Channel sounds like? I haven't heard any of it, but I was under the impression it was more similar to Plastikman - Consumed or EAR - The Koner Experiment which I thought were pretty spiffy (hence I wanted to buy BC stuff). So please, if Monolake/BC/Maurizio/etc sound like burger/ink, someone tell me so I don't waste my money. --- the humble abbott arthur purvis set his hand hereto
