Next up on Twisted, comes a welcomed return for Benji Vaughan's solo project Prometheus with his new album 'Spike'.

If you attended one of his shows on his recent US tour, then you'll be familiar with some of the intelligent electro/ techno tracks that will be featured on Spike but for those of you who aren't, we've hidden a couple of demo samples for you to check out in the Audio player on the front of the site.

It's very funny - I've seen (or or rather heard) two live performances by him

with (at least some of) the new tunes now - and everytime hordes of people tell me

the sound was bad,.....

 

OOooops,..... because there's no 16th bass louder than the rest ???

I mean - has anyone of you actually tried to make some genuinely unique music beyond

the nano, liquid, alchemy, you name it - copycat bullshit of today ??

 

"Man,... I got it,.... Eureka!,.....You take the chord,... oh yeah,... then there's the acid bouw

and the reverbed kick ,.....ahhh,... letz reverse these and with the resulting 6 (spelled = six)

sounds - we are going to instrument quadrillion albums"

 

Sorry people, but this discussion is so lame.... if you don't like it - for whatever reason -

try to come up with some relevant wording apart from "horrible",... as that is simply not doing

his ambitious approach any justice.

 

For me his is the most classic yet progressive and musical approach to psychedelia -

the world just seems to be flooded with people that cannot get to grips with what a

real artist wants / has to do / is driven to do - that is create !

 

Mr. Vaughan is transcending the sonic cul-de-sac the psy esthetic and culture is caught

in since roughly a half decade,... he is playing, feeling the flow, tweaking beyond cutting

edge - music that is both trippy and gemütlich. Maybe I very much understand his approach,

because psychedelia for me is not merely chaos, utter madness and stress - do your homework -

it can be cosy, colourful, trippy and mellow too :)

 

My deepest bows to him,....

but also to your opinion - I just absolutely don't get it !

 

please flamwar me - I'm a masochist !

(or was it maoist ? there seem to be similarities:)

(sorry for my bad germaninglish and probable spelling mistakes)

The album is out at Beatport. 3rd listen through now.

 

This will be among top 3 albums of 2010, no doubt.

 

IT'S SUH-WEET

 

He's the master of basslines, the prince of tweaking freaking sounds and the princess of our need for sweet sweet electronic love. Lest you ever stop making music, benji.

This is like a cosmic cracking of a beer. The beer... OF OUR IMAGINATION.
