A few random thoughts to see if someone's still breathing...
Converter - "Exit Ritual" -- This is just so damn enjoyable. The
label's right when they say there's some similarities to some classic
stuff. For some reason people keep wanting to say 'power electronics',
which is just false. Of course, it still has Converter written all
over it... especially in the rhythms. Enjoying it a lot more than the
last full length, which I listened to... maybe three times?
Tarmvred EP - Not my cup of tea at all... Anyone have something nice
to say here?
Gridlock - 'Formless' -- Pretty much what one expected, except that
the excellent moments are further apart than one would hope. More
ambient and (of course) glitchy than _Trace_. It's time for Gridlock
to find a brand new synth sound or ten. Hopefully, with no help from
Brian Eno.
Vromb - 'Rayons' -- Not dissimilar to previous work, but more
listenable than 'Episodes'. I quite like this.
Ah Cama Sotz/Izsoloscope 'CarmaNecroscope' - A bunch of moaning and
drones. I quite like Izsoloscope, so I a little underwhelmed here, to
be honest.
Cheers,
Drew
