| "The music of David Y. Wang, who has releases on Bpitchcontrol, |
| Tigerbeat6, and Violent Turd, suffers from a case of nostaglic |
| schizophrenia with a touch of sentimental aural influenza, and as a |
| result some technique-obsessed modern day electronic music |
| listeners will undoubtedly have trouble with Uzumaki. Well fuck |
| them. Fragmented sounds and fractured samples litter this short |
| album like beer bottles on a public beach in a way that reminds me |
| of the good ol' days circa I Care Because You Do and Tango N |
| Vectif. Whether intentional or not (as many patients are often |
| unaware of their illnesses), Mochipet has created a charming little |
| retro IDM disc, with occasional fits of childlike grumpiness mixed |
| with carefree playfulness. "Labha" starts off almost innocuously |
| like a symphony orchestra tuning their instruments over a bed of |
| subtle digital errors. Unable to restrain itself, it ultimately |
| erupts into a hardcore techno drum assault, truly setting the tone |
| for the rest of this dizzying release. "Adosa" almost sounds like a |
| tender love song or lullaby for a special someone with its clean |
| guitar plucking, even with its skittering sliced snares and |
| cymbals. Of all the tracks on Uzumaki, "Alobha" stands out with a |
| quirky melodies battling with one another over spastic beats that |
| would make most breakcore producers blush like schoolgirls. On the |
| remix front, Schematic's poster boy Otto Von Schirach provides a |
| typically unbalanced, uneven remix of the track "Polka Electronic |
| Death Coutry," where hysterical samples, pitch-shifted soul hooks, |
| and speed metal riffs and groans do battle for control, ultimately |
| leaving no clear winner and not offering much. Component artist |
| Xyn, however, brings the album to a close with a far more coherent |
| reworking of "Doboro," offering up something akin to an upbeat |
| version of Boards Of Canada, if you can imagine that. Considering |
| how many IDM acts these days spend more time harping on the process |
| than the melody (*cough* Autechre *cough* *cough* Richard Devine), |
| I imagine many jaded electronic music listeners will get a |
| well-deserved simple pleasure from the enjoyable sounds of |
| Uzumaki." |

| As usual you might want to express your appreciation of good music |
| in hard coin, by supporting labels and their artists. That's what a |
| decent human being would do, anyway ;) |
