What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.

Hello Clint here. Can I just say the word 'autumnal' in relation to that last record? Thanks. Right onto the new stuff. First up Why? on Anticon. This is the first solo record from the cLOUDDEAD/Reaching Quiet guy. Its hip hop but not as we know it. Comes across more like a meeting of minds between Ween, Neutral Milk Hotel, They Might Be Giants and early Beck. Its lo-fi, folky, quirky, odd, off kilter and all those other words.  The guy is a cocking genius.  And how on earth do you pronounce Oaklandazuluasylum??

About the humble LP:

The LP is the daddy of formats. 12" inches of sheer joy. The LP adds to the glory of the 12" record as it can be played at a slower speed (33rpm instead of the usual 45rpm for singles), consequently more musical joy can be had. Played on a decent deck the sound of an LP is about a million times better than any other format. They look fantastic...... a nice gatefold sleeve with a information rich inner sleeve will keep you entertained for hours even before your stylus has chance to make eye contact with it's 12" prey. An essential part of musical heritage which will never be forgotten. It still does play at a multitude of speeds but as it's recorded to be played slower they normally sound ridiculous sped up. Though double albums can make up for this slight inadequacy by ramming more tunes into your ears for your money. Utterly essential.
