Usedtobecool - The Independent Fallacy
Hey, I heard you like good music! You do? Awesome. Hopefully you like great music, as well. Because Usedtobecool makes nothing but great music. I don’t really remember the first time hearing of &/or running into Usedtobecool on the internets, but I know it was quite a while ago. Perhaps from the short lived Breakwhore message board, I’m not sure. Either way, it was a while ago & the tunes then were incredible, teetering on being ahead of their time while still holding on to some well known & respected tenets of early experimental breakbeat music. This release, brought to us be the well respected Bad Sekta camp (who’ve appeared on this fine blog before), shows there has definitely been no asleep at the wheel time for Usedtobecool. Brilliant 8bit tinged, classicaly orchestrated, downtempo driven, finely sliced’n'diced, gabber kicked awesomeness from the first second until the last. Straight up. Righteous artwork to boot? Sure, why the hell not. This shit’s golden.
