Subject: [313] Sean Deason "Allegory and Metaphor"
Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2000 09:13:31 -0500 (CDT)
Sean came to Iowa City to spin last year and dropped me a copy of this.
It is a remarkably smooth and deep exploration of techno. which has some
bumping tracks, but also some pieces that are incredible 4 am chill
material.
Having grown up with techno in Detroit, this record has the traits of a
classic jazzy techno track -- Kevin Saunderson comes to mind more than,
say, Jeff Mills. But Allegory and Metaphor is beyond that a very personal
work. It really does what art is supposed to -- express what is unique
about Sean as an artist, instead of striving merely to conform to
conventions
of the form.
I personally want this record to be a big success, if for no other reason
than to make it possible for Sean to give more of his time to music,
because
with "Allegory and Metaphor" he's only just gotten started.

I was in a local used clothing shop with a friend yesterday afternoon and
they were playing some lovely, almost baroque techno. I asked what it was
and the cashier tells me "the new Sean Deason". After reading so much about
it here I was glad to finally get a "glimpse" of it. Will be buying it,
definitely.
On another note: NYC 313'ers should get over to Kim's Underground as they've
got a pile of
Dan Curtin's "Pregenesis" CD on sale in their used bin (though the CD's are
new)very cheap. It's highly recommended. I've been digging it nonstop.
peace,
Jorge
