#2691 Errorsmith - Superlative Fatigue

Too much human music. We've been at this for what, coming up on 40 years? And electronic music mostly still sounds grasping and immature. Maybe I'm applying rockist impulses where they don't belong, but I feel like I've got to do all the heavy lifting to appreciate some of this shit.

Behond Errorsmith showing off his million-wave additive synthesizer, or something. The first couple tracks are wanky human-not-human showoff reels. When it turns into actual music, sure, those're pretty rich tones, and they skitter like a skitterer do, but it feels like a demo reel more than anything worth hearing in its own right, a bunch of sounds in search of structure, melody, or movement 2.5/5
