Black Moth Super Rainbow
Aaron over at Almostcool just posted his review of Black Moth Super Rainbow’s Start A People, giving it a 7 out of 10. While I’m not sure if it’ll make my fave albums list by year’s end, Start A People is still a great album worth checking out, especially if you’re a fan of stuff like Boards Of Canada (albeit with a much more lo-fi twist). My review can be found here, or you can head on over to the band’s website for MP3s and whatnot.

October 1, 2004 10:04amThanks for the link. Like many releases I’ve heard in the last year, it’s a little disc that I enjoyed, but also felt that it could have been made stronger by relying a little less on gimmicks (IE filters and lo-fi production and whatnot). I realize that with the advent of technology (and the ability to revert easily), the temptation is always there (believe me, I know!) to do more, more, more with your sound, but sometimes you gotta let those melodies and unfettered bits creep through. Sometimes I feel like musical inadequacies are covered up with effects, and thus my score wasn’t higher (on a somewhat similar note, this is the same reason I can’t completely embrace Mr. Christian Fennesz).
