homecharlie Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The song on their MySpace is one of the coolest things I've heard in a long time. Awesome! And are those samples from Claudio Simonetti's Demons soundtrack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homecharlie Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Doesn't look like it, sadly enough. I remember Skam holding out for Bola Kroungrine, so we can still hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homecharlie Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 According to Norman Records page about the release (I'm guessing this is the press release): "Blackpool based artist VHS Head began making music in 1999. Usingvideo tape as the primary sound source and 80's B movies as hisinspiration. The music is a collage of vocals, stuttering guitars anddrum hits taken from a vast amount of ex-rental videos teleporting thelistener back to the golden era of the VHS format. This budget-priced mini-album is packaged in in limited edition black jewel case, containing a video club membership card." I'd bet that he's sampling heavily from Demons, one of the most 80s movies I've seen. It also has an awesome cheesy 80s soundtrack.... worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

awepittance Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 sounds interesting ,like the next generation of Jackon and his computer band, it has that really intense plunderphonic Oizo vibe to it but with an Autechre/Dyobi twist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glass Plate Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 yeah, I got the jackson/french type vibe too, but I don't know if the tracks in that style are as good as actual jackson/french tracks etc. The tracks that are less in that vein seem to be my favorite.
