Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 4)

Heaven 17 - The Luxury Gap (1983)

[Idlewithnodrive]

Angine de Poitrine were guests on yesterday's 'Later...with Jules Holland'. Whilst being largely unimpressed by their playing, I did appreciate them as a performance act.

The first thing you notice is their distinctive, fantastic-looking costumes; either back with white dots, or white with black dots. I was impressed by the continuation of the dot motif to the performer's hands and feet, with the black/white dot pattern being complimentary to that of their costumes.

I also worked out how the drummer could see whilst wearing his costume. It turns out that the shoulders of the costume do not correspond with the drummers shoulders, they are higher so the drummer can see out through the 'mouth' of the costume. This was confirmed when the drummer stretched out his arms sideways.

I have an annoying habit of becoming obsessed with unimportant details such as the above. So whilst unimpressed by their sound, I am impressed by their imaginative look.

If you get what they are doing, Microtonal playing, then they are very impressive players. You might not like their music but they are still incredibly talented.

Well, it's been Favourited, so it will get another play at some point - enjoyed the drumming in particular. (The Horse, The Rat and The Swan was the one I found.)

Some more raucousness:

The Prodigy - The Fat of the Land (1997)



It was a toss up between this and Music for the Jilted Generation - heck, that might be next anyway!

I'm not denying their talent or originality, I just don't like the sound. I have heard quite a bit of microtonal music: India sitar ragas, Indonesian Gamelan etc., and I like what I heard; indeed I have many CDs of such music. If Angine de Poitrine's style is described as Math Rock, then so be it, but I don't really like it - I'm bored by it. But it would be a dull old world if we all liked the same thing.
