Once
upon a time, Adhesive Sounds only had two cassettes out and I was rocking them
both. Now, this is their eighth release
and within the five I somehow missed were Demonstration Synthesis as well as a
Hobo Cubes split (!) amongst what I’m sure were some other quality
releases. So, needless to say that is a
wrong I need to quickly make right.
This
cassette by Karl Fousek begins with an electronic and acoustic vibe at the same
time. I used to think that the two were
impossible as you needed to choose one, but I’ve been hearing it once or twice
lately so I’m no longer quite as skeptical when it does come up. It’s kind of like how you can go to the one
point in the United States and be in four states at the same time.
There
is some of that water dripping sound that is almost like Chinese water torture
although it is not at all painful. I
alluded to this earlier in a review of the new Hobo Cubes cassette “Memories”,
which is kind of a funny coincidence since this is the second time now that
particular name is coming up in this review (Which is also definitely not a bad
thing)
From
the mechanics of the percussion to the synthy sounds of Transformers, this is just
an electrician’s dream. This cassette can go beep beep into whirrs
with the best of them and in many ways it is simply perfect.
