Wizard
Of creates an electro piece of music at heart with this cassette, but there are
some underlying factors in it which certainly need to be addressed as
well. There are any number of cassettes
out there right now that could fall under an easy “electronic” category that
just lets you know they consist of a lot of beeps and boops and all the sounds
that come with it. Wizard Of is a
little bit different than all of that else, but they do still have that
electronic base.
Through
the electro bliss, drum machine blurs bring out a unique sound that can be
described as smooth. I’ve only ever
heard one song by Fort Minor, which has a video that is pretty cool so I’m sure
you know the song, but this cassette just reminded me a lot of that only on an
instrumental level in ways. And I never
really thought that song was particularly bad on a musical level, it was just always
the vocals that bothered me.
But
there was always something in the music of that single that translates to this
cassette by Wizard Of just as well. It’s
mysticism if you will, the way some skateboarders can pull off tricks and just
make it look so easy. It’s the way you
can sink a three pointer and it’s nothing but net. It’s a home run when the ball seemingly just
disappears.
Do I
need to go on with the sports metaphors or can you begin to understand better
now how this isn’t just a piece of electronic music—if you’ll pardon the pun,
this is magic.
