Das neue Nick-Cave-Album wird bestimmt großartig. Der Titel ist es nicht: "Nocturama". Das klingt wie ein zu Recht verschollener Orff. Oder noch schlimmer: Wie die verschollen geglaubte Interpretation eines Orff durch Metallica.

Sehr schön: Coldcuts "uptight ducks remix" von Fogs "Pneumonia": dada. Das Debut-Album des benebelten Turntable-Rockers aus Minnesota ist nicht ganz so einschmeichelnd, aber auf jeden Fall hörenswert: <a href=www.ninjatune.com target=_blank>dada.

"My approach to sampling has taken another meaning in the last 2 yrs. I've realized that most of the sampling artists out there were in fact robbing the actual hooks of valued parts of the tracks. Sampling has become almost a threat to artists and the recording industry. Endless court settlements and legislation debate who has broken the limits...5 seconds, 10 seconds, whst's ther point. The perspectives i intend are based on giving new life to that fraction of a second from tracks that maybe didn't have any success or the familiar voice of a radio show host. [...] I intend to give new life to airwaves caught on the very moment of their short existence. My studio has become a graveyard for those dead frequencies."
