This is a little out to lunch and sometimes a little out to lunch can be a good thing, and at other times a terrible nuisance. The first track and a half consist of an electronic sound that hums unnecessarily, appears to exists for seemingly no other reason than to pulverize the listener. It’s very annoying and totally banal. What arrogance!
The third track is another electronic simple-sample noise fest whose purpose seems none other than to cause the listener wonder as to why they are wasting their precious time on this. I don’t mind the occasional Mogwai musical track because it’s formed from actual thought to the process of creating a melody (of some kind) but this is the complete antithesis is anything to do with thought process or melody (not even in the video game vein.) It’s so bad it’s beneath the term, pretentious. I could call it pretentious if it was something other then buzzing noise and feedback. What a waste of time.
Apparently back in the day before Beck became Beck, this guy was in his backing band, but I can see why he was left behind. Maybe he’s trying some kind of musical thought experiment here, but it’s not even together enough to call it experimental. What a waste of space. Coming to a landfill near you.
