Corpsey
bandz ahoy
1994 was a great year.
The mythos of Kung Fu, the mythos of jazz, the mythos of mafiosi
Passing through as sampled spirits
1994 was a great year.
Music linking with music history without a sense of inauthenticity, then passing through computers to become less joined to the world to become less real or hyperreal.
Even sampling sounds too computerised now.
not even. computerised is subconscious code for 'I don't like how this sounds.' Which is fine but using the term computerised is inaccurate because most sampling done with computers is still designed to be congruent with human perception. a truly computerised sampling would have to exceed the limits of human perception so 5-10 samples per second. will take you 5 months to make a 5 minute tune. a computerised sample tune will have to sound like a computer processing data.
Doesn't have one bad song on it.
A song about mortality, and the relationship between memory and death.
The genius here is the scratch of that high tone, sounding like a mournful alien signal over those strings
