3.0 good | Bedex | April 20th 20 | A genre I had never even heard of (singeli is it?), and it makes me want to hear more from
it, even though I don't feel like this is the strongest album in the genre? Not sure. This
uses a combination of very high tempoed electronic-ish beats, electronic sounds, and more
organic sounds coming from what I guess must be traditional instruments - at least I can't
identify them really. This feels like it would be insane drugged up in a Dar Es Salaam
nightclub or something, but I'm not sure how it fits into at-home listening. 1 was a bit
weird and headachy and got me a bit worried, and the intro to 3 was similar, but the track
gets cool thereafter and 2 is nice too. 4 boasts fun sounds. A lot of the tracks thereafter
gave me videogame OST vibes and felt like they would be dope on some cool action packed
level or someting, like a sped up Electronic Super Joy OST of sorts on 5, or 7 having more
of a haunted mansion level atmosphere. 8 and 9 also gave me video game vibes, 9 being a bit
less nice. By 6 the album gets a bit much though, and I wasn't a huge fan of the closer,
but again it has the merit of making me want to dig further into the genre. 3.2

3.5 great | TheManMachine | March 6th 19 | Doesn't reach Bamba Pana's immersive mind-fuck drilling or possess Katapila's playful squeaked/yelped charm, but I suspect when it comes to Singeli-on-steroids stuff maybe I'm simply a sucker. Constantly teetering on maddening but the cuckoo velocity and fun fused with force are always an appealing aesthetic -- painful repetition simultaneously bounces and stabs, funny meets assaultive, the irresistible mashup of primal/propulsive/polyrhythmic, the endless effulgent energy, vox nice when there but not necessary, blurring over-the-top and brilliant. Plus some cat meows never hurt.
