Glad someone else likes sit! I got the distinct impression when it came out a couple of years ago, that people who were discovering the more melodic 'Who Taught You Math,' 'Point Blank' and 'Wire To Wire' Hood, would rather ignore this harder, darker, more archetypally-minimal incarnation. The LP has actually grown on me. After about two years of listening to it on and off, I'm noticing all sorts of themes in there which I hadn't before. For instance, I think there is a very subtly-used, Philip Glass sample on one of the tracks! (I could be tripping but I don't think so.)
I find the Logistic Remix project a little puzzling. I mean, the tracks no longer sound anything like the original. Now that's not necessarily a bad thing: there have been some very nice results imo, but it just seems to portray unwittingly that the general atmosphere and tone of the originals (which the remixes are totally bereft of) was in some way defective. Having said all that, the Substance rework is Peter Kuschnereit at his best (even if he might as well just have handed in a brand new track!) k -----Original Message----- From: darnistle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 March 2005 03:45 To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: (313) Monobox OOOHHHH, THIS IS GOOOOOOODDD!!!!!!!! Just picked up "Molecule" today and I am tres pleased! At first I was surprised by how understated the music is. Its subtle, dark and groovy, though not as vigorous as I've come to expect from Robert Hood. Just stripped down, pulsating-twilight music. How yummy!! Now I'm really eager to hear the remix album. I can just imagine what Pantytec, Matthew Dear et al would do to these tracks...;)
