More geeky musics
Though I’m in danger of turning into a record review blogger, I did want to share about the latest score, the splendid Mille Plateaux compilation Clicks & Cuts 3. As the name suggests, this is the latest in a series of compilations, of which I missed the second, but I’ve been awfully fond of the first for a long time, so I was excited about this as soon as heard it was out. It’s better than I’d even hoped. The biggest surprise, especially compared to the original entry, is that so much of the music on this latest one is really, truly, deeply funky. It’s certainly avantish and v. v. minimalist and has those crispydub “glitch” crackles, but most of it is not, at first, recognizably indebted to drony stuff like Oval that usually gets termed under the “glitch” rubric. It’s more like hip-hop for art galleries. It’s kickin - I can’t recommend it strongly enough.
