REVIEW:
Fflint Central specializes in experimental electronics and harsh abstract noise. One would think that there's enough, or too much of both, but the men from Fflint have that something special (fuck-you attitude? undefinable sound? sense of humor?) that makes these records way better and way more interesting than the majority of the 'electronica' we hear these days.
Fans of VV/M, Lesser and other 'troublesome' electronica will dig this stuff. Affordable CD-Rs. Go ahead and take a chance.
You may regret it...
Pendro (aka Tim Jones, the second half of the Fflint Central dynamic duo) describes this record as 'psychedelic', but God knows what he must have taken to come up with this. Things start off with a cascade of blips and bleeps that seem quite menacing (that's quite a feat for blips and bleeps, mind you) and slowly evolve into a more psychotic Boards of Canada.
The rest of the record is a crazy mix of chopped and mutilated classical samples, found sound, hyper-distorted melodies, malfunctioning cd player rhythms and gurgling computer glitchery, all of which eventually coalesce into a droning, buzzing coda.
Really great.
AQUARIUS RECORDS, San Francisco, 2000.
