Another scruffy simple distorted amateurish catastrophe from the impatient beginner in LMMS. Most of the youtube LMMS tutorials involve people making fake-chiptune or really terrible dubstep - not that there is any such thing as really good dubstep obviously. I am doing it wrong cos the only stuff I can get out of it sounds like lazy Autechre or fairly bad Boards Of Canada. This album is like fairly bad and very primitive Boards Of Canada. Much rougher and without the occasional beauties that BoC stumble across - but it has lovely lofi distortion and space and feedback and the beats are more unpredictable than most peoples'. The first track takes ages to hit its stride. It's hard to understand why anyone would bother. The second track is a serious nonentity. The third tracks is slightly more eager to please. The final track is tres sweet. Overall it just treads water. Foes will sneer at the arrogant pointlessness of putting up these cacky noob fumbles - but their primitiveness brings with it many of the qualities I crave - the accidental beats always unpredictable but somehow always safely danceable, the distortion that we hipsters spend all lifetime running away from and then when we reach Jack White's age realise we wanted all along, and the relentlessness - because no one's listening twice - I haven't heard a recent album twice, perhaps ever.
