Comment:
Mammoth is an extinct animal
but The Fucked Up Beat has its mission to continue. The duo of Eddie
Palmer & Brett Zehner continues
to convey sample-based music which consists of very old samples being
intermingled
with modern electronic music (which
also might be sampled). Mammoth
is their second issue in 2016 (a follow-up to Researches
Ghostwaves and the Midnight Mysteries of Rhode Island)
consisting of one immense, 48-minute composition. The favourite
element of the duo’s music is related to iterative, minimal phrases
which are wrapped up by haunting ambience. The
aforementioned elements do vary throughout the course by changing its
shape and timbre, its colour and rhythm and thereof resulting in a
multitude of subversions. Thanks
to the Caretaker the hauntology used to rule in the underground music
and
The Fucked Up Beat is one of the most pre-eminent examples of the
style worldwide. Undoubtedly it deserves a place in charts of the
best albums in 2016.
