I'm sure someone will think this is a great article, but with lines like : ___________________________________________________________________________
One song, "Kladfvgbung Micshk," uses a prepared piano for both the rhythm and the melody, and this suggestion - that a rhythm instrument can have a melodic value, and vice versa - creates a sense of ambiguity that hovers over the whole album: we're often not quite sure whether we're hearing a beat or a tone. ___________________________________________________________________________ WTF! Of course a rhythm instrument can have a melodic value, considering the writer is paying close attention to RDJ's use of the piano, he/she should at least know something about the piano, or maybe the guitar, bass, drums, etc. All rhythm instruments have tones, a beat IS a tone. I would really like to know what Final Scratch had to do with DE9 2, besides being an influence on it (whatever that means). The best part of the article is definitely: (the author is speaking of Hawtin's use of a Phillipe Cam record) ___________________________________________________________________________ It's a shame there aren't more surprises like that. Too much of "Closer to the Edit" rushes by without making much of an impression; its amalgamated thump never shows any signs of letting up. ___________________________________________________________________________ Glad someone is paying attention.
