MBM gig @ Metro, Chicago IL 22 June 2005
by Gavin Miller 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Hi all, just got back from seeing Meat Beat @ Metro tonight. It was a good gig, clocking in at 2 hours 15 mins. It was recorded by 88.7 FM WLUW's Chris Widman of Abstract Science (http://www.abstractscience.net) and will be broadcasted during an upcoming show. I was talking with him before the gig, and he told me Meat Beat is working on a live album, and he had to sign a contract that stipulated that the concert would only be played once on air and then returned immediately to their management. as of now there's no word on the broadcast date, but I would guess soon The show airs thursdays from 10 PM to 2 AM on thursdays...

Token EP/ Komfort
by JASON HICKS 25 Jun '05

25 Jun '05

Big day for me yesterday as I got both the Token EP and Komfort 12" finally. The first track off of the Token EP, "Oh Shit" is awesome, the vocal samples definitely had to be from LX, they really reminded me of the samples from Majestic "like a loud. . ." The rest of it was pretty good too, but they definitely would have been better off leaving Magic on the cutting room floor. I also think it's awesome that Malicious Damage includes stuff like the medallion and the badges with their releases. Wouldn't it be great if all labels appreciated our business that much? I was very impressed with the Komfort 12". Honestly I think moving in this direction (which sounds to me like Pole or the other scape artists like Jan Jenelik) is the way for the Orb to go. Using kitchy samples and cheesy vocals (a la parts of B&T and Cydonia) just sounds dated or plain bad in the year 2005. Sure this 12" sounds more like Fehlmann (I'm not sure how involved LX was in producing this music, I think maybe I hear his stamp on the acid lines in one of the tracks), but damn it the music sounds good. Who cares if it doesn't sound like the Orb if it sounds like something new and fresh? The bottom line is that I found it an enjoyable record to listen to and that's what really matters. I'm actually excited (rather than nervous as I was with B&T) to hear the new Kompakt full length. My two cents. Jason

Token EP
by Brian Kinney 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

I received mine the other day. Very nice release. Jap Cars is my fav song right now by far...sweeeet guitar riffs. Amercia is Unavailable is very groovy and warm but the sample usage is predictable. Sweet beats in Magic but I don't like the vocals, it almost sounds like a kids song. Thats just be being picky...it's a very solid release. -- Brian Kinney
