well, well, well, well..
workin thru the nite, i took off few hours spending time watching the
city waking up and _listening_ to musik instead of letting it play=)
..
i remember some peeps slagging off Soma-rec, well i came round to
listen to Funk D'Void's older "dos" and the new one: "volume freak"
once again and them good songs just broke my heart. so much of soul
and so much of blues! yet i'm for roughly half of each album, not
every song works for me. Funk's musik goes back to detroit roots but
it doesnt sound old - maybe not exactly futuristic but why should it -
its musik of today. although i dont dare to compare these two
albums in detail, there is no major jump from what've Funk been into
2001.
on the other hand i finally got an ear on Mathew. was i disappointed?
almost. following discussion on a list for a while, i expected
something more special - a great production at least, even if i
wouldnt like it personally. and this is where i'm stuck, cause both
"decompression" and "behind the mirror" EPs appear so average to me.
yeah, Mathew got an unique style to a certain extent [i'd say: by
combining known elements] and even own sound to it [although
its more like bad mastering for my liking]. and rite, his tracks are
all groovy and well constructed and they got a soul too. yet somehow
they feel too raw.. somehow tracks are going so straight, so much
nowhere, and transitions are mostly fades. it would explain if these
releases are largely recorded live. and if i'd like harmonies,
rhythmics and sound on those EPs, i'd enjoy them still. unfortunately
it doesnt fit my taste and i cant rave about production as well.
allrite
lets roll on wednesday!
