Reviews


Forest Action Team is a very diverse dance album mixed with some cheese (contrary to what the lard brothers claim is lots of love, the assholes), but at the same time preserving the indie-ness of this work of art. I liked particularly Democracy, PoniesSoothPeople and Scream because of the fantastic choice of heavy strong crispy beats (yo ah yo sio di o). It's a good introduction to a history of local music that many of us are perhaps I dare say sentimental towards. Not to mention that the peppering of influences like Trip-hop (Sneaker Pimps), j-hip-hop (think M-Flo) and even Experimental (like Bjork) make this a commendable effort.

Ian's friend Royston wrote this on Ian's Facebook Note here. I thought the cheesy bit was quite spot-on. Hahaha.
