yo yo yo. it's the otha man. >On the other hand, as far as gigantic disappointments go, the >Lexaunculpt Oh Here Come Some Noises 12" is just that. All those >people saying what a genius Alex is have obviously heard some very >different music to this. i ... kinda ... agree. it is rather a disappointment after all the hype on this.list, but i do see some potential. especially that seriously raw-ass funky track with the high pinging noise (i'll be fucked if i'm going to try to remember those dang post-Ae song titles). as for "all those people saying what a genius" the cat is, well, they're all very special people who get CD-Rs and we're not, so we'll just have to take their snotty little words for it. :) >Please don't take this the wrong way - I can see all these SoCal >people's eyeballs exploding from the stress of reading this ;) heh. god forbid a divergent thought might cross their monitor. (mental note: start ridiculous thread comparing lexaunculpt to islam, boards of canada to christianity and pole to japanese shamanistic "hopping" cults from a pseudonymous address.) >I don't like it mostly because it's just not my sort of music, but >then BoC, Jake Mandell, Gescom (sometimes) and others do similar >stuff which I love. interesting - i think jake mandell's got some skills when it comes to programming, but his 'ambience' could use a little roughing up. but i have yet to hear the worm inyerface cd. but i do think mr. mandell's steez smell less like a brown booth and more like his own. >And that last new-age ambient track is *completely* gratuitous. it is! it sounds like something popul vuh would've dropped from one of their religious albums for being a bit too overwrought. some yutz (xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx) wrote: >so wasn't this the old as fuck record that he's kciking the shit out >of now? so isn't this still the record that everyone on this list was busting a nut over? most musicians despise their early material; so what? or are you just trying to retroactively abort the hype? some kinda...terminata....thing. in closing, i like _oh here's some noises_, but i'm hoping that mister culpt chooses to build on the more original aspects of it and not lean so heavily on the Ae-techniques (hey, the percussion's ratcheting down again!). wasting bandwidth since 1994, [gr] -- [http://listen.to/treblequake] [eleet fnema] 'my woman here, she's got a dozen names she's sunk our soldiers and they try to keep her tame...'
