FICKLE - I CAN SEE THROUGH YOU YOUR DRUGS DON'T WORK (CDR by Consume)
The Scottish Consume label specializes in weird projects. Music made
by people whose name you will probably never find out. Music that is
made with samplers, turntables, cd's and radio's: usually a curious
combination of post rock, plunderphonics and electronics. Fickle - I
mean whohe now - works with a turntable, CD player and radio, abusing
all sorts of popmusic. With each track he mentions the musical style
he operates in: techno, ambient, prog rock, ambient, dance, rock, new
acoustic, big beat and chillout - all corners invented by the music
press to easy classify new music. An abused copy of the NME comes
with the package. These styles are probably not ment in any serious
way. 'Decon/recon (hip hop)' does indeed have a hip hop rhythm, but
that's mainly through the plundered hip hop beat. 'Locking Horns
(prog rock)' has nothing to do with long guitar solo's and layers of
keyboards - it's a sampled play of sounds on a relatively cheap
keyboard (or maybe turntable). Although this release certainly has
it's moment, I am not entirely convinced by it. There is a strong
sense of naivety in these collages, plundered together from
pre-recorded sources, but it's rather haphazardly put together by
means of improvisations. Hmmm. (FdW)
