Re: (idm) Ice, Spooky vs. Spectre

The Spooky side of the 10" is mangled drum and bass while the Spectre side
has two *slow* sludgey hip-hop tracks w/o vocals. The Spectre tracks hang
like fog.  Its a good record but not ground breaking. 

On the Wordsound tip, the new album "Veve" by Equations of Eternity
(Laswell, Harris, Bernocchi) smokes. Big hip-hop & funk grooves with dubby
bass, ethno-percussion and spooky sounds. The voodoo and occult themes don't
hurt either. Its surprisingly energetic and convincing as opposed to some of
the recent Laswell side projects.
