You’re a good tour guide barty. I listened through these last night and enjoyed the writing. I liked the first one best, the sparta one and c1 slums
I agree with you about the ‘womb like’ qualities. The warp and glide of the 808, the curves and filters give a warm enveloping feel to offset the cold funeral march minors in the melody, and each beat feels like a whole, after an intro you’re pretty much in that space with few surprises. It meant a little key change in the silwood nation tune felt dramatic, few surprises…
A dusty old music box found in an attic. It has a figure of a dancer on it, her pale porcelain face
A great metaphor, a creepy tik-tok wind up music box.. A children’s plaything that’s a bit disturbing and unsettling too. Something contained and doomed to play a mechanised song over and over, jerky, restricted and repetitive
This internalisation of the disposability of their own lives in gang warfare.
And the dancing and videography im into a lot… so much death.
