I didn't think I would like this record at first, a collection of two side long live tracks the band performed in Turku, Finland in 2004. Seeing as there is no way of telling which is the A and B side of the record, I decided to play one side randomly (and then took the liberty of naming the tracks after the corresponding drawings found on that side). The "arrow side" starts off with this extremely chaotic and not very interesting mess of sounds: turntables, chipmunk voice samples, screeching and scratching. Towards the second half of the track however, things slow down and fall into place and becomes much more hypnotic with great use of toy and musical greeting card sounds. The "scribble side" starts where the first side left off, slowly, with an interesting sound collage which gradually builds up into this bizarre hardcore techno version of Avarus (leaving us ready for the first half of the other side). |
