Re: Spectra



hahaha :) the first time that my music was compared with the beatles. is that good or bad? :)
 
well, i do not think that he has any clue about live electronics, electroacoustic music and such. well in any case, this will be a great pr for the album.
 
one note guys : i am working on a new electric guitar and electronics album which will be released soon. just hardware fx and analog pedals. hope you will enjoy that one.
 
best regards to you all.

Congrats Erdem,
the reviewer thought yours was the best piece on the album.
I don't remember exactly what he says but he
mentioned psychedelia and Dear Prudence by the Beatles in relation to it.
Helpfully he mentions that the piece was recorded in real time with fx.
 (was it? the Wire usually gets that sort of info wrong :-)

Generally he seemed not overly impressed by the album,
even being critical of Keith Rowe.
Probably trying to be controversial, that's good as it
may create more of a buzz about the album, I wouldn't
even be surprised if they're deliberately doing that to
help promotion, as there's bound to be people writing
in to disagree.
It's certainly a big spread in a mag that normally gives
a couple of column inches to new releases.
