Current mood: COME FEEL THE NOISE....
Category: COME FEEL THE NOISE.... Music
So, here we go with 5 acts who've found me - or whom I've lately found, here on myspazz...
Schleusolz's 'About Me' section starts by asking...
So you have meandered through the data graveyards of the modern world. You are a seeker, always in search of life's inner meaning. And you are longing for recognition. But now you are here. And you may ask yourself: what am I here for, will I find relief?
Well, if you like rather groovey modern day easy listening music, you're sure to find at least a portion of your relief from Schleusolz...
Yes boss, with edges of Jimi Tenor &The Art Of Noise, Schleusolz are nicely instrumated, warmly composed and pretty damn jolly....
Col an Col start and finish their 'About Me' with the following..
We make love, then we make music...
Of course on the surface, these are sound priorities - but maybe they should be engaged with the other way around??
I mean one has to worry about whether this order might lead to Col an Cols' music sounding like a cigarette?? Or even a deep, pleasant and wholly satisfying sleep??
But no - these 2 sound all neat and cosey in their musical bed.
Yes boss, this music sounds more or less exactly like a pleasant Sunday afternoon between the covers - and obviously, that isn't a bad thing....
If The Tleilaxu Music Machine are any kind of sex, we're perhaps talking more the kind engaged in a touch earlier on the Sunday morning after a heavy night...
Here's the scenario...
You've been nightclubbing and have returned home with someone you're not totally convinced by...
No boss, your object of fun for Sunday afternoon isn't the first, second or even third choice of whom you saw in da club.
This person feels much the same way, but because your other targets fell through and you're both in need of a quick bout of banging, you head home anyway to make the best of a bad job..
The problem is that this chasing of other potential partners has meant you've left the club closer to dawn than the midnight hour, and things are beginning to get shaky.
Yes boss, your drugs are wearing off, your movement is faltering and you're feeling the unmistakable BANG of the comedown hangover move on up your spine...
You try putting in a call to your dealer, for re-supply - he fails to answer his damn phone..
So you buy a bottle of cheap Brandy...
But, when you get home, you're appalled to discover that you've accidentally bought a bottle of 'Special Spirits' that is weak, unconvincing and completely fucking foul tasting...
The Tleilaxu Music Machine is the sound of the sex...
Of course cheap and dirty sex is a whole different ball game in Iran..
Yes boss, not know for it's licentiousness, Iran has it's own 'Morality Police' who like to control such thoughts - because in Iran, religion still means something other than a bit of keeping face at births and deaths...
Iranian sex isn't however all straightforward..
No boss, last night, I watched a rather revealing program about transsexuals in Iran during which time I discovered (much to my surprise) that not only are transsexual operations permitted in Iran - they're explained as being necessary to prevent homosexuality..
Here's the deal...
Irans Islamic clerics believe that Homosexuality IS a sin - it's punishable by death. The Clerics therefore figure that the only way around this is to allow transsexual operations, so as to correct the sex of the sinner.
They rationalise it as being similar to turning flour into bread - you make something good and useful out of something not so good and useful.
Sounds power crazy to me - WE'RE TAKING CONTROL!! WE ARE GOD AND WE'RE GONNA CORRECT YOU!!!!
Anyway, gONj@SUFI are an Iranian band (or so they claim). They're a bit trip la hip hoppy and quite dark sounding. I find them interesting mostly because I don't know any other Iranian bands - and because they have curious vocals...
Lastly..
Westerner Presents are just the kind of thing Iran claims not to be interested in.. (though I did notice a few cars, computers and the like in that documentary - Isn't it funny how these regimes always like a bit of western hi-technology, even though it was only created by way of the kind of political and religious freedom seen in the west???)
Anyway, here we're talking a kind of low-fi doopy do. Nicely melodic in places, competent, nicely worked - I like it...
DA DAAAA!!!!!
