New music is something like new sneakers; you have to put them on immediately and bounce around for a while. Unfortunately, not all sneakers have great bouncy properties, and likewise, some new music just leaves you feeling flat. I have to confess that this genre, call it Electropsychedelia LaptopPopDiscoNoir all you like, is just not my bag, baby. In fact, I'd have to say that the more contrived a name is given to something, the more contrived that something generally turns out to be...and I'm not sure I've ever known a case where being more contrived translated to something positive. </p> <p><a href="http://excellentonline.com/story/autoparty-lumlight-1147" target="_blank">read more</a></p> autoparty Review Sat, 11 Sep 2004 19:25:19 +0000 margaret 1147 at http://excellentonline.com
