█░ ░█
█░ "Despite their increasing notoriety for doing bad things ░█
█░ like killing people, machines can be pretty awesome. It's ░█
█░ the summer and it's hot, and I like the fact that I have a ░█
█░ machine in my house that keeps my brews nice and cold. For ░█
█░ how awfully dependent we are on machines, and for how often ░█
█░ they can screw us over, think about how incredible it is ░█
█░ that, at any moment, we can log onto the Internet and see a ░█
█░ free photo of a naked guy or girl, or perhaps both, ░█
█░ together. We have machines that, when we put round discs in ░█
█░ or on them, make pretty fantastic sounds. ░█
█░ Player, Player is a celebration of awesome machines, of ░█
█░ machines at their most beautiful. The album hearts the fact ░█
█░ that the metal within, if only because it is touched and ░█
█░ molded by our hands, maintains some level of our humanity. ░█
█░ Kpt.michi.gan (aka Michael Beckett, aka the short, bearded ░█
█░ third of the Schneider TM touring brigade who recently ░█
█░ earned a reputation for appearing in the middle of The ░█
█░ Faint's set and poking the band members in the butt with a ░█
█░ microphone stand) does not, as so many other electronic ░█
█░ artists do, try to create beautiful music despite his ░█
█░ electronic machinery. Rather, it's as if Beckett is ░█
█░ exploiting the beautiful music of machinery itself, ░█
█░ recreating what we all might imagine our CD changers, ░█
█░ turntables and iPods might sound like if microphones could ░█
█░ record the melodies and harmonies of the atomic level. ░█
█░ Indeed, Beckett is 'playing the player,' and we are privy to ░█
█░ one man's vision of the awesome electronic concert that ░█
█░ happens every time we turn on our stereo receivers." ░█
█░ -- Nicholas B. Sylvester, Pitchfork Review ░█
█░ ░█
█░ After the lavish review from Pitchfork (yes, an 8.1 from ░█
█░ those bitter chaps is qutie the achievement, even if Audio ░█
█░ Bullys got a 7.4 for Ego War), one might expect an epic ░█
█░ album of electronic sounds. I'll say it's pleasant, nice, ░█
█░ and at times wonderfully abrasive, but folks like Telefon ░█
█░ Tel Aviv have done more interesting works. The final track ░█
█░ adds a wider variety to the whole piece, providing a nice ░█
█░ quiet indie-electro-pop piece almost in the vein of Dntel. ░█
