E.A.R. Data Rape made from sounds consisting of altered speak n spells. not as original as i'd hoped. lots of echo, distortion and reverb, but basically a series of somewhat harsh ditgital ambient soundscapes that all have a similiar pulsating feel. it at some points reminds me of disc actually. the title seems very appropriate after a couple of listens :) Freeform Pattern Tub holy jesus! style wise this explores as much ground (if not more) than the new low res, has that same 'homemade' feel as the black dog's music for adverts and simply amazing. childlish poking, ambient soundscapes, mellow funky jazz gone bad & on & on. for those previously turned off by freeform's more abstract works (elastic speakers, heteriachy, etc) this is much more structured and easier to take in... completely different material all together. freeform has always been a favorite, but this is really it. in time, this will sit next to the black dog's music for adverts as 'the complete shit' in my book. why not more talk on this???? are you people listening?????? Varathane Ruddy Brown Primer a few list members i find it very useful to list to in regards to recommendations of stuff i might like... lance, andrew duke, jason tar, kid66669, greg c., etc. one of them happens to be william harris, who pointed out the post about the hydrant stuff... checked this out after he directed me to some realaudio that he enjoyed. anyways, enough on props :) good stuff. sort of a blend of older afx/warp style fun. having just given another listen to the blip bleep comp i'm finding that some of this would really fit into the idea of the comp very well (ie music for imaginary video games) lots of bleepy blippy sounds, happy go lucky melodies in abundance. fans of saw 1 will surely appreciate this... hopefully be posting reviews of cex, disc, kid66669, va - emanate, va - blip bleep and some other fun stuff later today also... i apologize for the lack of review skill on my part :) xxxx@xxxxx.xxx icq_12645306 http://www.sonic.net/~brap/ (now with live visuals (cam.html)) coming sooner than later: sfwd0004 - pre-mil=B7len=B7ni=B7um soundscapes 12" our future has never been so frightening: http://williamshatner.com/
