Amorphous Androgynous - The Isness - 19-Dec-05 08:04 AM
I suppose peoples real problem with The Isness is what they were expecting from the record. Luckily, I can enjoy music that isnt "innovative", as long as its well written, and I enjoy the moods and melodies on The Isness without needing every record I buy to be some far-out innovative trip. Some people dont like the songs, which is fair enough, but to criticise this album for not being innovative is kind of missing the point. You mayaswell talk down Britney for not having enough guitar solos.

Squarepusher - Music Is Rotted One Note - 22-Jan-04 02:05 PM
No, its not his strongest album... oh wait, yes it is. Unlike all his other records, I can put this on and never, ever feel like skipping a track. Theres so much emphasis on performance and sound, and less on technicality and how many snare rolls he can fit in less than a second, and I fucking love it. Absolute divine beauty wonderful yeaaaah.

I dont think theyre out of ideas at all. Yes, a lot of stuff here is heavily influenced by 60s and 70s music, but it also sounds incredibly original at the same time. High Tide on the Sea of Flesh? Her Tongue is Like a Jellyfish? Hell, even The Mello Hippo Disco Show... ideas stolen from places (but thats what FSOL have always been about, isnt it?), but they sound pretty unique all the same.
