review circuits

Playlist!

This CD totally embodies experimental electronica.

All are // in their own unique way. Preview the first 30 seconds of each song to get an idea of its sound. The liner notes give great background on each piece.

1. 2:00 Takashi Harada untitled 1 The instrument Flossie & Unicorns use?

2. 10:20 David Claman '70 reverberations in one's head after a punk show (according to the liner notes, it's supposed to be played loud, so do it!! ;-)

3. 7:32 Pamela Z Geekspeak computer discussion sampled and looped.

4. 15:00 Marc Ainger Dreaming Hills from out of nothing and back to nothing floats an electronic choir.

5. 3:48 Paul Higham Duck Spindle Trilogy looped electronic sampling. Starts and stops then goes then repeats.

6. 14:35 Francis Dhomont Lettre de Sarajevo a lot like Frankenstein Symphony

(soundscape of a spooky spooky amusement park ride)

7. 2:30 after 10? Erik Belgum Life's Big Dream Home Odd spoken word says "Goddamn" at the end

8. 5:50 Steve Wadhams Harley Spoken word about the awesome Hogs

9. 9:00 Dan Moses Schreier Exotic (short version) spy movie theme repeats endlessly. (thank goodness it's the short version)

review climate

A lot of the lyrics focus on death and murder. Most of the lyrics that I can understand are quite bizarre. www.therockandrollband.com/swallow

1. // 2:46 sally's on the phone Peppy with flute and wack lyrics

2. //- 2:57 maybe some time Driven intro, bouncy wack lyrics with slow bits

3. // 2:11 show me your fingers Rockin' love song to someone with 9 fingers

4. //- 3:08 fashion! Groove intro repetitive "fashion" WTF?

5. // 0:49 take me home now Slow organ, slow horns, fantasy beach day

6. // 2:27 to-morrow may be the day Twisted lyrics encourage us to enjoy life.

11. // 3:06 in the harbor Slow accoustic weird lyrics horns, harmonica
