>Every once in a while, I get an album which then becomes my propaganda for
the month. After a stream of buying CDs and 12"s that have been close but
not hit the mark, I finally got the CD which most closely approximates
exactly the vibe I'm looking for in today's amorphous electronic musical
environment. Aside from the 4 minutes on the album that are spoiled by
speech on top of the tracks, and the fact that the album hits its peak a bit
too early, this album is so incredibly right on target that I literally
couldn't keep myself inside my skin. People into slower, heavy deep tr*p
h*p will thoroughly enjoy this. I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned
much. Think Wagon Christ - Throbbing Pouch without the quirky electronic
cold feel. This shit starts furiously and moves like a juggernaut even in
its quiet and fragile moments. I am very happy now.
After a review like this one, I 've just gotta have a listen - but, please
excuse my ignorance, is the artist called 'SPACER' (x10), or did Jason just
get excited and write the title 10 times? Also, Jason, could you tell me the
label and number etc. for this one? A find Wagon Christ a bit too dark and
heavy, but still would love to have a listen to this.
Thanks,
Marc.
