Eric Copeland from Black dice has his second solo release out on Paw Tracks. 'Alien In A Garbage Dump' is a pretty messed up record. He takes some samples, loops them, filters and time stretches them, then sequences to give a disorientating effect with a twisted sense of funk. It's pretty weird and you'll either think its pretty cool or it will irritate the living shit out of you. If you like the idea of a hip hop record stuck on a loop with loads of backwards jittering alien sounds then this will probably float your boat. There are some cool moments when it doesn't sound like he just got his first sampler for christmas. Ultra warped lunacy!* Eric Copelandís "Alien In A Garbage Dump" 12" represents part one of the forthcoming album from the increasingly prolific member of Black Dice.
* Taking off where his last record, "Hermaphrodite," left off, these seven jams are steeped in modern media overload; dense, often fragmented blasts of ideas and sounds, representative of a half hour of prime-time television (or something like that).
* Tracklisting: A1. King Tits Womb A2. Alien In A Garbage Dump B1. Corn On The Cob B2.Osni B3. Scones and Bull B3. Reptilian Space Beings Shapeshifting Bloodsucking Vampires B4. Everybodyís Libido
