Wow he has changed a lot from the album I have (What We Must) which was a little less frenetic rhythmically although this track did have some of the Jazz elements of that album.
Not sure really. Didn't blow me away as those fractured IDM beats seem to be everywhere these days. 5/10
actually it's the other way around, Animal Chin was from 2 albums prior to What We Must (it's on A Livingroom Hush - 2001). as odd as this may sound i found WWM to be VERY reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. there's just something about the thickness of the production. but yeah, i can't stand the broken glitch beats anymore either, i just love the melody and the visuals of the clip. i laughed so hard the first time i saw the band stampeding on screen hehehe
@Stone Birds - i wasn't really looking for factual accuracy, i heard the song, i thought Radiohead. sucks that the originator was overshadowed. it's hard to deny the similarities though.
----
as for Tyondai Braxton's Jackpot - starts of interesting enough, reminds me of Nobukazu Takemura, wondering what direction the vocal manipulations will take. thinking this should have been 2 separate tracks for the most part. when it's over all i can say is there was piano at the start and nothing really stood out. 6/10
speaking of Takemura this track was later remixed by Aphex Twin but still stands as one of my favourites. i much prefer his jazzy style over the glitchy direction he took in the early 2000s.

It's 3:19 long. Elastica had plenty of songs that long haha. But I agree, after listening to it again I'm not really sure where I got that idea from haha...

that's fair but the Elastica equivalent to 4 Big Speakers would have been about 1:40 hehehe

^Hmmm...it starts promising and has some really catchy moments, but too often likes to beat it over the head and ventures in some rather generic territory. So instead of making me wanna dance all the way through, it was actually beginning to bore me. 5/10

Well that's not too bad. Partially up my alley (that sound weird). The production's a bit on the noisy side, and I'm not quite sure about the vocals, but I certainly don't hate them. Doesn't feel like there's that much variety going on in the song though, kinda stays the same throughout. I'm not quite convinced that I should further investigate the band, though, so I'll give it a 6/10.

I guess some parts of the thing were cool, but I didn't even bother to listen to the whole thing. 5/10

It was pretty decent, but it didn't really wow me. Lyrically, it left something to be desired, I guess. 5/10.
