Granted, this is minimal, and I do enjoy some interesting minimal stylings, but there is so little variation or anything of interest here. If you enjoy listening to a single drum pattern in isolation for several minutes, buy this.
This is, of course, meant to be experienced on vinyl where it can breathe and be enjoyed for the powerful physical massage delivered by low-end and warm distortions. It is also nice for my headphones at work. It is MINIMALISTIC music. Not for everyone, obviously.

But throughout the past half-decade, dance music has been both cutting-edge and conscious of its own legacy; an irresistible combination for anyone who wants to have a good time first and… more »
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »

Now well into its second decade, the days during which South By Southwest - and the bands it attracts - could count novelty as a chief draw are long over.
