There exists
a rapper called Little Debbie, or maybe it's “Li'l Debbie”, I'm not sure- but
this is not the rapper. And sadly, the
rapper, from what I'm told doesn't have lyrics about snack cakes at all, which
is unfortunate because I could probably make a book of rhymes about “Fuck
Hostess / I'm the emcee with the mostess” or mixing up Entemann's with being
the man.
In any case,
this is hardcore ambient. This is
instru-metal. And in the less clever
creation of categories, it could also be experi-metal. It is dark and brooding, with deep
vocals. Side A features the line on
repeat “You are hypnotized” and I am inclined to believe it.
There are
some actual musical markers in these songs, staples such as Joy Division and
The Doors shine through, and as we near the end of Side B we get some hip hop
type beats and I'm wondering if this isn't the rapper I once thought it might
be. (If so, someone please release iLL
LiaD o n cassette. Hell, release iLL on
cassette anyway)+
It will
never cease to amaze me how different aspects of this same ambient vibe can be
portrayed, as some can just be so extremely quiet you have to wonder if there's
anything there at all, and others can be as opposite of that as this Little
Debbie, which still totally rocks.
