dance music?

The Necks' Hanging Gardens (one of the few of theirs I hadn't heard until today)...um, why did no one tell me this sounds like the breakdown on a '97 Metalheadz record stretched out for an hour? Deep bass and scrunched up hi-hats circling like spider's legs...a certain type of person (namely me) keeps wating for that BOOM-CLACK two-step to drop. Some of those watery moog chords and pensive Rhodes notes could be easily ripped off a 2004 Paradox record if they hadn't been layed down by three people in a room in Australia in 1999. An enterprising drumfunk DJ needs to get on this now and thank me later.

i honestly can't tell whether or not it's sampled or live or some combination! so kudos mr. buck, i guess.

(though the credits list "sampler" but who knows what was sampled.)

funny how something we totally think of as part of a "dance" record of a certain kind sounds nothing like "dance music" in this context.

weird, i was listening to some track with that metalheadz sound and had an idea of trying to beat mix all the breakdowns and intros from those records into a 30 minute mix, to create this noir-y drone-y thing, and now it seems it's been done.

will def. check this out tho.
