the other tracks are identical. i've not done a side by side w/ 'true to myself', but my copy of that on mp3 was definitely fucked up (adbrupt cut off) so there's not much point.

but seriously ...
ricardo's percussive talent is undisputed: the sophisticatedly elastic rhythm meanders of Latin American/Caribbean origin sound ... the tracks appear surprisingly volatile, despite the considerable playing times of several titles which are absolutely required for exhausting the free, rhythmic modulatons
he should form a group with pharoah sanders and osunlade!

it's even more than what i always wanted from dj pica pica pica and nobukazu takemura - sounds like gamelan tapes played backwards at high speed, with the dj leaning on the mixing board with his elbows on the buttons marked "delay" and "pixilate".
has there really been anything like "taka taka" since? "button down mind" pt 2? i fear that falls into the same traps akufen fell into with his fabric mix, too many cartoon animal honking and farting, not enough of ricardo's sunbaked grace.

Do any of you have the vinyl version of Alcachofa? Is it just me or is it intentional for the 4 sides to switch rpm when you flip sides? It's very annoying.
― Moka, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:45 (nine years ago) link
It's also disorienting I swear dexter and easy lee sound slower than my mp3 versions but it might just be my ears.
Side A and C are definitely 33rpm and side B and D 45rpm but it doesn't have any info on why would they do this.
― Moka, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:49 (nine years ago) link
Yeah it is (annoying and intentional). The sides w one track're 45, those w two 33. Took me a few weeks to notice/look into this myself
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:50 (nine years ago) link
Ok I've had it for a few years now and noticed immediatly but assumed it was intentional. No idea why. I guess he just thought it would be fun for trolling vinyl djs or something like that.
― Moka, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:54 (nine years ago) link
It's cos it means he gets 45 quality sound where he can, I guess
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:55 (nine years ago) link
Oh yeah it's 3 vinyls. Didn't realize that the speed changed depending on the number of tracks per side... That's interesting. It might help me next time I play it but it is still annoying.
― Moka, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:56 (nine years ago) link
Frm memory that rule applies to everything of his, I got p anal abt checking all my Villalobos LPs/12s out after that (also once had sex to the incorrectly slow Easy Lee, which ws kinda creepy)
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 06:58 (nine years ago) link
He also tends to have different tracks between cd and vinyl and it's somewhere between cool and annoying. In this particular album it annoys me because he left out YGH out of the vinyl version and it's nowhere else to be found in vinyl format. Also some of my favorite tracks were only released on the cd version (waiworinao, fools garden and what you say) and the exclusive tracks on vinyl aren't as good as those.
― Moka, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 07:08 (nine years ago) link
I would have loved to have waiworinao or what you say instead of "i try to live" which is the only track in the album which I don't care for at all.
Specially mad about the exclusion of waiworinao as it's one of the highlights in here besides dexter and easy lee.
