Free Music Notes for Delete Delete I Eat Meat (Dig)
Free Music Review: Primitive Beats, Sonic Sounds & Simple Words = a great psychic detach!
Hit: 5 Stars
I think Aaron and Thomas of Ghostland Observatory are geniuses. "delete delete - I eat meat" is a simply-written, eloquent album with even more lush-sounding synthesizers and extra-ordinary vocalizations than the first album. (Get the first album, too! And the Austin DVD! And tickets!)
Rhythms are smooth and straightforward, nothing heavy or too intense, more pleasurable, relaxing dance beats - and fun. (I love to do yoga to Ghostland.) I find the compositions to be one of the best things I've ever heard, soon to be the envy of other artists (such as Madonna, who only hires the "best"), those who make their approaches to electronica more complicated than it needs to be. "Candy Rider", "Silver City" and "Rich Man", among others, are songs that stick with you, and you'll remember.
I remember being in third grade, in the 1960's...! One day our teacher rolled a phonograph into the classroom and said - "Listen to this, everybody... This is what music is going to sound like some day in the future!" She proceeded to play an LP with a bunch of be-beep-bop sounds, and sounds that "weee-ee-dooop!" and tinkerbell noises. The children gathered around the machine, wrinkling their noses.
"But how will they ever make music with these sounds?" we asked. "Don't worry about it," our teacher said. "Someday, everyone will be doing it!" We just couldn't see it.
Imagine how thrilled we were years later, as teenagers, when the soundtrack to "Clockwork Orange" came out - we couldn't get enough of it. But even then, there was a general awareness that it would take a real talent to generate original music with synthesizers. And many have been more redundant than successful. Consider pop music...
Take the Rolling Stones - primitive beats and simple lyrics that are very much in the vein of "now", and therefore classic and timeless. The kind of music that puts you into a different space. Bowie and Eno's randomizing of lyrics and beats does the same thing... Aaron Behrens' on guitar can achieve similar power comparable to Bowie's friend, Reeves Gabrels. (Contrast this to bands like Depeche Mode, and The Cure, whose lyrics and sounds become depressed with time.)
Even The Doors screwed themselves over, not allowing themselves to expand beyond the scope of traditional music composition! Jim Morrison was set on being a great "poet"... But by needing to put across those "deep and meaningful messages", he not only got boring - he burned out. I don't see this happening for Ghostland Observatory.
I think GLO has mastered a kind of ritual-art sound that makes for a great psychic detach. I like all these pieces; they make me feel hopeful and happy; they provide lots of good, certainly spiritual, shamanistic energy. This music is a recourse you can turn to whenever you're tired of everyone else's b.s.! These two young guys are "they" - the ones are are making the music of the future. They will be around for a long time!
