Design - Hangin'
Silk #28
On Hangin', each bar in every song seems to introduce a new melody or a new sound or a new theme, and they all scurry away before they can take up permanent residence inside your head. These are songs with many different moving parts, songs with so much noodling and experimenting and testing of new ideas (like one track that incorporates a sound that evokes the image of a tiny, warped mouth harp being played by one of the Chipmunks) that they feel like electronic jam sessions more than structured compositions.
My two favorites: "Midnighters," which features grooves designed for the dance floor—if that dance floor was located on the dark side of the moon; and "Stolen Car," which has this eerie bump-bump-bump that reminds me of an exposed, throbbing alien brain in a 1950s science fiction flick.
