Motor "Klunk" Album Review

More Variety
The CD is OK. I think I was looking for something a little more varied.

Aphex Twin "Richard D. James album" Album Review

Perverse Migraines
Huge berserk burning compositions employ the shock motif. Their overwhelming physical awkwardness exhausts the listener. Strange fusions of mechanical electronic crankshaft rhythms come across as illiterate pompus headaches. James' role as "genius loci" is based upon his staggering musical vulgarity.

Video Aphex Twin "Yellow CalX"

If you're looking to have a music video made, contact me at: dylan.walker@my.brooks.edu Director / Editor: Dylan Walker Producer: Mike Viera Director Of Photography: Chris Treichel This is the first video I directed. Shot it for 107 and recently re-edited it. The song 'Yellow CalX' is from Aphex Twin's 'Richard D. James' album. Comments / Criticism welcome. Note: The sound doesn't sync with the video perfectly due to it being on Youtube. I hope to have a higher resolution / synced version up some time in the future.

Orb "Cydonia" Album Review

nothing wrong with it, but nothing memorable either
The problem with this record is not that there's anything wrong with it but that it's derivative. Patterson seems to be filling in the gaps of territory that he's already mapped. Now, it's still impressive territory, but there's just nothing here that wasn't done earlier, and more spectacularly. And in the end there's nothing to hold onto in the same way as earlier records had. So if you've been to Orb land and loved it you'll like this record. If you're less familiar with the band, this isn't the place to start. And if you like Orb and respect them and already have Orblivion and Ultraworld (as I do, for instance) then this is probably an unnecessary release that will sound just fine the first two times you play it and then it will disappear into your record collection, never to be remembered again.
