ROBERT ZIINO - PLASTIC LOVES GLOBAL WARMING (EXPERIMENTAL ARTISTS) |
| |
Minimalist, German-style techno surrounded by the
hyperactivity of semi-sort-of-musical staticky white
noise stuff. Reigned in gabber with beligerent
house/trance beats while whiny/buzzing electronic bees
frollick angrily. Old school video game era randomly
assorted noise pieces with deep goa pulse. Drugged
drum-and-bass with a different swarm of bees. A
Tron-like game soundtrack warped into distortion?
Electronic gnomes being painfully transmogrified. A
big, pissed bumblebee ... that argues and chides. More
gnomes in a computer blender. This harassing batch of
electronic experimental (all tracks clocking in at 5
minutes) will appeal to a handful of you and will
scare the hell out of the rest. I dig some weird shit,
but this doesn't happen to be it. Now, the fact that I
enjoy some esoteric experimental, even if not this
glitchy variety, enables me to approach this fairly.
So, having said that, there is a certain wildly
off-kilter and wicked sense of humor informing the
proceedings and, let me reiterate, there is an
audience for this stuff. It's a given with this
variety of composition that a large proportion of
listeners will not like it; some will violently
dislike it. As for me, I don't personally care for it,
but for what it is, it's well done. Those who
gravitite toward noisy, glitchy experimental
electronica will revel in this.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
