One
of three releases from Boltfish this issue,
"A
year apart" opens with a bassy beat that hops along
like a frog with a leg made of foil, leaving a scracthy
residue in the air as the low down melody begins to appear.
Almost grimy in sound, this secret tune flicks you into
a trance and releases forgotten treasures from your overloaded
information packed memory glands, which trickle to the ground
like a hidden tap behind the shed in your polygon garden.
I love it.
Your
eyes are forced open by sand covered droids and you blink
to attempt to get some focus of where you are, where the
hell am I? I know its "Expodec"'s fault. Expodec
is a rotund robot friend of yours, who really has a problem
with the future, and in turn you end up getting the brunt
of his manic temper explosions. This whole episode was fuelled
by the echo beeps and eery calls which sound like something
from a ghostly adventure into an arcade, that caused this
faulty loon to explode you into the middle of next week.
What a shitting bastard.
"Microform"
pushes you down a tiny slide, which is 20% smaller than
you are and forces you down into a bunker which is lined
from floor to ceiling with discarded programs. You take
a seat on the floppy disc stool and listen to the secret
stories that these data storage devices have to tell. The
messages are relayed to you via a melody of bleeps bips
and whistles, that somehow translate themselves into video
images in your mind and show footage of a huge marzipan
ball crushing all of mankind. You make your excuses and
get the hell out of that madness cave, them freakin loons.
"A year apart" is what you would expect to hear
on the walkman of a toadstool in the middle of a forest
whilst a bio thermonuclear war rages all around it. Cheju
has created a series of intricate and detailed musical patterns
that you can weave into your face and leave to soak in overnight.
More
quality stuff on Boltfish, awesome.
