The Abracadaver

Despite my general disdain for iTunes, I bought the new Foxy Shazam single "Wanna-Be Angel." Also, just because it's kind of a necessity, I bought a physical copy of the Minor Threat Discography.

I can't stand Foxy Shazam but you're right about the second part.

Haha, Foxy Shazam is really hit or miss. My punk friends hate them. But I understand.

All I tried was 'Introducing'. Don't know where it stands in their work but it was enough for me to say No Thanks.

Ha, well that album does sound quite a bit different than their independent release, 'The Flamingo Trigger.' That album is a bit more rough and might be worth checking out, but I dunno.

Jay Sean - All or Nothing

I found that EP pretty mediocre as well. His album Drift is good though, but it's not all that glitchy, not much is as glitchy as that edIT album.

Every other artist who last.fm has tagged as "glitch hop" has for more of a funky vibe to it. Crying Over Pros For No Reason had a more downbeat and less danceable feeling to it, yet it's one of my favourite albums to listen to when I'm reading.

Here's a perfect example:



Michna - Magic Mondays

With an album title like that I was hoping it'd help cheer up my Monday, however it was so uninspired and boring that when it finished I barely even noticed... I love the sound that edIT made for glitch-hop, but everyone else (with the exception of Tipper) has been disappointment after disappointment.

I think your expectations are the problem, then. Seems like you keep wanting every album that someone labels as glitch-hop to sound like edIT. I don't think Michna is glitch-hop at all, personally, it's just downtempo electronic/IDM. I think it's a good album (though it took a few listens to appreciate)...but I prefer his work in Secret Frequency Crew.

For something closer to glitch-hop try Prefuse 73's first two albums, Dabrye's One/Three, Lukid (practically no funk here), Flying Lotus, DAK's Standthis, and maybe Jimmy Edgar. Not that I'm saying those will sound like edIT...but they're closer than Michna. But for all I know you'd feel the same way about all of those, because you really want the same kind of glitchiness that edIT uses. I liked Crying Over Pros for No Reason a whole lot at first, and I still like it, but when I listen to it now it almost feels too gimmicky and overly glitchy...like a glitch filter was just applied over the whole album.

And I take it back, I'm sampling Michna's album a bit now to refresh my memory, it does have a bit of a glitch-hop vibe but I think it's very secondary in his sound.
