    Posted · Edited by Jaffa

    Found a picture of Adrian Blacow aka VHS Head.

    looks like I know who mummbles alot.

     

    also, did Jaffa compare this to Ed Banger, Pop music, and hipster electro-clash? WTF? It seems like god decided to balance out all the love for this album in the form of one critic.

     

    No.

    I said it was a bad pop album, it's a novelty record, which it is. I didn't compare it to Ed Banger records. Ed Banger records=Hipster electro clash. Wish people could fucking read. The Ed Banger reference was in response to Awepittance's mention of said label not in regards to VHS Head directly.

    Yeah !

     

    Was great to talk to you, see you later;-`0

     

    I look forward to his future works, classics like the "one glitch too many" and the "one glitch too far" double pack ep

     

    i don't really see this as a glitchy album, it's made entirely with cutups sure but during idm's heyday 90% of the stuff off merck or countless other idmy labels was far more glitchy than this

     

     

    the most valid complaint i've heard brought up so far is that the album is too unfollowable and that it borrows heavily from the Oizo/ Ed Banger vocabulary. Since i am a huge mr oizo fan and a fan of difficult music this is for me a perfect fusion of the two.

     

    progress towards?

     

    for me it's one of the finest examples of fully re appropriated music turned into something enjoyable. not since i listened to my first hint of Amon tobin have i heard something using similar techniques sound this fresh. and to top off the aesthetics for me is that the guy is actually using samples from VHS Tapes, you can hear that sharpness as well as the high pitched whine.

    progress towards ? I don't know, but it sure as hell is a lot more interesting than most new electronic music i've heard in the past year.

     

    For all the glitch and whatnot on this album it is remarkably funkless and flat. It's a bad pop album. Never liked the ED Banger label, compressed to high fuck big bass pseudo hipster electro-clash- dance tunes. Never liked the Merck label either, lacked balls, sterile, formulaic , boring IDM sound. I do agree with you that there isn't much coming out these days that reaks of innovation or interesting ideas though hence why I'm becoming less and less keen on current fads and going back to the truly innovational sounds of people like Todd Dockstader, Zoviet France, SPK, artists alot more dynamic with fusing source material (VHS tapes or otherwise) into a musical pallete of commendable genius.
