Damn!

This place is heating up! Bunch of sweet minutes posted lately. Like.. Azo's most recent has such an awesome lo-fi atmosphere, and sounds like cool improvisational guitar until a 2nd guitar comes in, and suddenly... you realize it's a pre-planned composition! How cool is that? Then the Haamphist shows up with this killer minute out of nowhere! I still don't understand how he assembled that, it really has a surprising... depth to it.

Then Iwan pops out with this awesome tune that sounds like it came right out of a greek tourism video from 1988! Seriously, I love this one. The way the drums are mixed way in the rear, the cheesy yet catchy melody, the slightly brooding interlude in the middle? It just drips with a sort of modernized commercial ethnicity. It's a feat like making a modern song that sounds just like it was recorded in 1950's motown, but way more subtle than that - it's like total immersion in the world of 1980's mediterranean promotional videos. I threw together a quick video to illustrate what I mean. The middle section is.. well, kinda random. It's 3am.



Oh, also I really like how in the middle section of Iwan's song, the drummer who I imagine playing the song is cool enough to just hit the hi-hat every once in a while. So many realworld drummers would overdo that shit. Truly an awesome imaginary drummer.
