Nobukazu Takemura - Hoshi No Koe - 25-Mar-07 04:58 PM
I love love love this album! Nobukazu is the man! This is spring music to me- it reminds me of the days where it finally gets warmer and you can open all your windows and let the breeze in. Much of it is beautiful, even the noisier bits- to me, anyway. Nobu at his best!
Merzbow - 1930 - 07-Jul-06 12:14 AM
This CD really caught me off guard. I bought it with the expectation of it being pretty alright. But what this CD was... It was spectacular, a masterpiece, as far as noise will go. Instead of being one flat gristly tone, I was rewarded with a multi-layered, dynamic release. I think part of this album's - and probably the rest of Merzbow's work - is that it is so busy. There are always little sounds and passages going on, even amidst the static you can find sounds, possibly ones that the noise had stemmed from. After a while, the pure static noise is actually beautiful sounding. I swear that toward the end of The Degredation of Tapes it becomes very relaxing, a relaxed sensation that continues throughout the last track. The first minutes of Iron, Glass, Blocks and White Lights gives me a distinct guitar solo sound...
This album is a wonderful, beautiful thing.

This album is so completely perfect! Absoulutley beautiful! I cannot believe I haven't stumbled upon Oval until now... However it feels right that I found him when I did. That is the kind of feeling he gives you. That metaphysical, everything has it's place feel. Then everything seems interesting and akward and kind of a bustle, while you sit back and watch it go by, relaxed and eternally at ease. That is what this album sounds like to me.

This is coming from one who enjoys the Chip/Bitpop/8-bit music movement. This album really isn't anything too special. It's mostly mostly uninteresting, with a few parts that stick out but nothing that is as good as other 8 bit stuff out there. Not to say it's a bad album, I just thought it was rather uninspired, and I myself didn't like it. If your looking for something 8-bit try 8 bit weapon, Bit Shifter, Nullsleep or other artists that truly bare the mantle of the Chiptune movement.
Sad too, this is a Tigerbeat release.
Boards Of Canada - The Campfire Headphase - 25-Jan-06 11:06 AM
This CD is my first exposure to BOC, and it is amazing. The short but very sweet intro brings you into the well used guitar of "Chromakey Dreamcoat", which goes to "Satellite Anthem Icarus", which sounds like being swept away on the wind across an ocean or something. "Peacock Tail" Is a beautiful track as well, where melody is strongly utilized. The whole album is a masterpiece, I love every moment of it... I am looking forward to my next BOC purchase.
