Wow... Wow. Am I insane for thinking the Lexaunculpt MP3s totally blow the 12" off the frigging map? I was listening to the 12" last night and it was pleasant, like a piece of abstract art that is soothing but a bit shallow. Then I fired up my machine and started in on the MP3s. Total shift...it was full of emotion, and nothing like the slab o' wax. The 3'22" track was the most stand-out. It starts off brutally, like being hit with a feeling of utter hopelessness and pain, then the peaceful, soulful melody reveals itself slowly...not unlike a stripper, yet with far more inner beauty. It seriously brought back feelings of loss I've had to deal with recently, and brought me some peace. It totally caught me by surprise--IDM isn't supposed to be this soulful. ;] If future releases have this emotional charge, I'd say the SoCal hype is warranted. Orange certainly has my attention. .rr np: "lex_793k.mp3"
