Talking of Mr. Funk himself, we have a new album by the Canadian ponce.
His 12th album of gibbering nutterdom is snappily entitled ‘Rossz
Csillag Allat Született’& is "his most mature work yet" (they
say that about everything he does) Apparently this was "Inspired by a trip
to Hungary while on European tour, where Aaron found himself on the Királyi
Palota (Budapest’s Royal Palace) imagining himself as a pigeon" (fuck me,
what a tosser) So yeah, It's got shit loads of lovely ear caressing
neo-classical strings on but unfortunately exactly the same hyper-speed, too
fast heard-it-all-a-million-bloody-times breakcore beats all over just about
every tune. I think about 3 tunes really work well (It would have been a
really fine EP) but over 11 tracks, I just got bored.
