What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.

Casino Vs Japan release a new album which is quite like the last one I guess. Very bubbly warm sounding electronic music. It's not an easy thing to do I reckon. Most folks struggle making electronic music sound warm. Summery yet warm and wintery at the same time! I'm not entirely sure how he does it which is making me think Whole Numbers Play The Basics is much better than I initially thought. Very very lovely indeed.

Casino Versus Japan "Whole Numbers Play the Basics"

we know what it’s like to wait. It’s been three years since the last casino versus japan full-length. Heaps
of underground praise was placed on milwaukee’s casino versu japan (aka erik kowalski) after the release of that record "go hawaii." it acquired instant cult status through a combination of its incredibly catchy melodies and sporadic availability. Now the waiting is over. carpark is happy to present the long overdue whole numbers play the basics.

whole numbers play the basics is altogether a moodier, more introspective record. the distinctive melodic songwriting is still there, but the textures and structures are chosen from a wider musical palette. while go hawaii was all bliss and summer joy, whole numbers play the basics is the sound of life after the endless summer. if go hawaii was casino versus japan’s "surfin safari", then whole numbers play the basics is his "pet sounds."

hip-hop beats, dark tones, airy melodies, and hearty bass patterns show off a musical mind informed by sources ranging from the classic works of david axelrod and pink floyd to more contemporary heroes like boards of canada and my bloody valentine. this one is a true feast for lovers of sound.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.

'That's just what pop should be like. Loud, fast and very exciting.'
