Duct Tape Mummy - Bindings - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After years of producing music, it was some old DAT recordings from my youth that were to kick start Prequel Tapes. Listening to those recordings was like a flight back into the past. Understanding these recordings was to realize why I do what I am doing. Again a circle is closing. I find it ´s very enjoyable to open and close all those circles. Time is relative.

Honing their studio skills and coining the phrase Dubhop, Supremely dedicated committed artists Matt James, Aaron Grain and Dan Sorce, FNDMNTL's debut , 'Subduction', arouses a fresh feel of deep-dub-downtempo-soul, acid jazz and hip-hop. Paying close attention to detail Subduction is like a mix-tape moving continuously, seemingly without break. The mind participates and the head nods subconsciously. 'Subduction' suits both intimate situations and intensive listening - provoking conversation. Reciprocated by the seducing cover art work by acclaimed artist George Vergette, this CD is one that will be on your MOST PLAYED list. FNDMNTL has been featured on CBS, The L Word, Godiva's, TBS, Showtime, Showcase. FNDMNTL produces with guitar, percussion, programming, bass, turntables, and samplers. They bring forth their own brand of instrumental music; encompassing beefy instruments, fat filled bass lines, sharp traps, and sugary sprinkles of tasty programming.

The incomparable duo, Matmos, have done it again! Their new album, Plastic Anniversary, was created using only plastic. Highlighting the crises of convenience, the Duo make music from our refuse. True to form, the band have assembled a promiscuous array of examples of this sturdy-yet-ersatz family of materials Dominos, Styrofoam coolers, police riot shields, polyethylene waste containers, PVC panpipes, pinpricks of bubble wrap, pills, silicone gel breast implants and most horrifically synthetic human fat. Where did this idea come from? Drew Daniels and M. C, Schmidts own plastic anniversary as a couple. Matmos glide from the tongue-in-cheek fun of Breaking Bread (literally smashing Bread LPs) to Cronenbergian body-horror of Interior with Billiard Balls & Synthetic Fat. The album is playful and poppy while conveying a very serious message and on the darker implications of ignoring the havoc we are imposing on the earth all for the sake of convienience.
