Comment:
undoubtedly it is a fabulous 8-notch ghost from the past from the
mid-00s when electronic underground music was still set up in the way
to stand against the mainstream pop. There were up axial record
labels like Mille Plateaux and Morr Music of which purpose was to
disseminate IDM and glitched-out music and they succeeded in that.
This album can be considered the magnum opus by Andy Kirk, because
one could not find out other issues by the artist. The result is
mind-blowing, catchy and just beautiful and thereof it used to evoke
those cute memories which had existed 10-15 years ago while I was
listening to artists who used to dwell between electronica, indie and
glitchy beats. Furthermore, it reminds of advertising flashes at
night while blinking and casting the light and neon shadows around
and upon you. At times Andy Kirk's music sounds a bit infantile
though it is obviously an affirmative moment by showing up the
artist's ability to laugh at himself and drift more loosely in
disparate ways. The issue contains a bunch of tracks which would
throne the pop charts in an ideal world. Indeed, I like the kind of
idealism which is presented in the artist's music. In fact, it is
quite weird to experience such sort of a feeling as if you are
foretold the future while you are listening to an issue from the
past. The more you listen to it the more it opens up new angles and
dimensions, at times one can feel it quite unfathomable. In a word,
it is a mandatory listening for anyone who considers himself/herself
to be a music fan. The issue is a part of the discography of Earth
Monkey Productions.
