> any comments on the new Phantomsmasher CD om Ipecac?
I like it. Have you heard the last one (on Hydra Head)? This one is a little
less noisy and more "song"-oriented than that. There are still blastbeats
and crazy vocals and all that, but the overall feeling is actually pretty
peaceful, which is odd. Also, if I had to guess, I would say this was more
of a group effort in terms of how it was put together, as opposed to the
last one where Dave Witte and Speedranch recorded their parts on their own
and sent them to James Plotkin to chop up and put back together. But, I
could be wrong, and maybe they did it that way again ...
While we're at it, I have heard a bunch of stuff Plotkin has done -- solo
album on Avant, his duet Cd on Kranky with I-forget-who, some (not all) of
the OLD stuff, Khanate -- but certainly not all. Does anyone have any
favorites not mentioned above?
As far as Witte, I tend to be a fan of just about anything he is on: Human
Remains, Discordance Axis, Burnt by the Sun (esp. the EP), etc. I still
haven't heard much of his stuff with Black Army Jacket or Major Burns, or
his duet CD w/ Chris Dodge. Anyone? (Am I getting too far out of list
territory here?)
