Reviews

  • scoundrel's avatar
    scoundrel
    Sharp, crisp, dark -- Photek's FORM & FUNCTION strikes like a ninja in the night, leaving your ears to wonder, 'What was that?' And while the tracks here aren't as experimental -- his mix of "Resolution" only has brief moments of the iciness amongst more conventional sounds -- it does showcase his technical skills. "Knitevision" and "UFO" have a hint of menace, while "Santiago" puts some rhythm guitar and funk horns to go with the bass. "The Seven Samurai" adds some Asian flair, and his own mix of that same track sounds like the accompaniment for a fight scene that should have existed in the movie itself. The jazz touches of "Rings Around Saturn" help that track achieve a state of bliss. On the remixes, Digital makes "The Lightening" more... well, digital, and Doc Scott turns "The Margin '98" into a looped frenzy while J Majik introduces some more melodic elements into "UFO." Though the outside mixers are strong, I think Photek stands almost better by himself.
