Well, certainly not in mine. It's just a matter of personal appreciations. And if you consider the other albums
sketches, man, they sure are a hell of a sketchbook.
I didn't make myself clear here. I meant that, although I like them, I suspect that there's a lot of potential that could explode in forthcoming works. That would be closer to my impression.
Sure, there's always room for more, but the ways in which Eastern and Western sounds and aesthetics are integrated is unique and mindblowing.
100% agreed. Trey's use of
beats is one of the few cases were I can tolerate them and the furthest away from "cheesiness" I can think of.
Really? I can't see any distinctiveness or a special good taste in Spruance's treatment of electronic beats, to be honest. I'm don't really listen to breakbeats or drum'n'bass or things like that at home, but if you asked me I wouldn't point you to "Book M" as an example of electronics virtuosity, although I respect Spruance's work a lot and I always keep an eye on his projects. He has achieved to create in the studio a
sound that incorporates Bollywood and Middle Eastern pop recording techniques. These are aesthetic choices and not due to financial limitations. Can't wait for the new shit to come out.
Neither do I. Best, Efrén del Valle ______________________________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! - 6MB, más protección contra el spam ¡Gratis! http://correo.yahoo.es
