The Fucked Up Beat - Roswell Radio Cult (2013)





9.3

/Sampledelic, Sound collage, Cut and paste, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Hauntology, Psycho-acoustic/ 

Comment: this batch of 10 pieces does provide wind instruments-driven snippets, though, not being an instance of brass music on its own, it also provides rhythmic music, though, not being an instance of danceable music on its own, it also provides psychedelic music, though, not being an instance of psyched-out muisc on its own. Instead of it, it is a solid representative in the movement once established by James Kirby aka The Caretaker. Indeed, it is filled with sampledelic collages having compelling hints at cinematic harmonies, vintage Latin motives and some subliminal sounds which are spiced up with haunting vapor and dust pouring out from every slots and breach. There is up one exception, called The Groom Lake Flatwoods Monster/ I'd Like Some Gasoline Please!, coming very close to the aesthetics of indie music. The result is marvellous.
