Forcefield – “Roggaboggas ” – [Load Records]

Max Level   1/4/2006   A Library, CD

Forcefield is a strange animal indeed, a music collective generally comprised of between 2-4 members, but from what I understand as many as 60 (!) performers have shown up at some of the gigs. Ultra-bizarre costumes and goofy names mask their true identities. Their sound is loops and samples, throbs and glitches, buzzes and chirps, snorting and squawking. Tracks 4 and 8 have similar tabla-loop things going on. Track 9 is minimal rave-beat. Track 16 has a messed-up new wave pop feel. Track lengths range from 4 seconds to 20 minutes. Something for everybody, but at the same time there’s really nothing for anybody. These cats are very very weird and so is this CD. Deal with it.
