Four Tet, Matmos, Ruins, Various - Everything Comes & Goes

Everything Comes & Goes by Four Tet, Matmos, Ruins, Various

3...according to our on Wed 29 Nov, 2006.

Some joker has given me the Black Sabbath tribute LP/CD  (in truth its because I moaned at getting yet another electronica compilation to review). Well I don't even know who Black Sabbath are. I think I heard one of their songs once. I can't even be bothered to describe Matmos's effort so I'll go straight to Four Tet song which sounds exactly like Four Tet. It has hip hoppy drums and cut up acoustic guitars. Again. It is good though. Also on this CD are versions of Black Sabbath songs by Ruins, Grails, Paul Newman, Racebannon, The Anomoanon (who know their way around a guitar solo) and a few more. On Temporary Residence.

Back in 1997, we at Temporary Residence Ltd. had a novel idea: compile a Black Sabbath tribute album with experimental rock, folk, and electronic bands reinterpreting classic Ozzy-era Sabbath tunes. At the time it seemed like a unique idea, since such tributes were then executed primarily by washed-up glam bands or tired hardcore groups cheekily cashing in on nostalgic quasi-irony. Much has changed over the last eight years, of course. Black Sabbath did the unthinkable by reuniting ­ and has since done so three times. Ozzy Osbourne became a household name with his startlingly popular MTV-produced reality show; to top it off, his children have become omnipresent pop culture irritants; in short, much of the world is ready for a break from the Osbourne clan. It is under these auspices, fittingly, that we proudly present the long-delayed Everything Comes & Goes, a tribute to the ultimate stoner-rock band.
