That was from Craig. This is from me:

 My brother and I have been doing electronic music for a long time. For about 20 years. He has done many Live P.A's over the years and has written tons of tunes. In my opinion he is one of the best unknown dance music artists out there. Now he is a vital force in Sheltershed. He not only plays drums for them live but he brings his funky breaks and love for minimal techno and trance to the songwriting of the already hard industrial sound of Sheltershed. The result is a powerful, thumping yet funky mix that you just HAVE to hear!

Check out the new release! You will be blown away!!!!!

Woohoo! Can't wait! Love the Shed.

woot!

Kinda Industro Breaks

Here's my 2 cents on this album: It's better... Much better and I'm impressed with the progress the guys have made on this latest offering. I can't believe Im actually saying this, but I've been listening to sheltershed all week. Now before Carey starts telling people I've gone soft, let me say that Motorclub has some problems that make it sound pretty amateur. It's not consistently cohesive, as both the individual tracks, and the album as a whole tend to feel a bit random in the arrangements. Too often random sounds seem to pop in abruptly at obscure times or for odd amounts of time. This is a problem on a larger scale too, as some tracks don't seem to fit the overall flow of the project. I kinda get the feeling that the producers haven't mastered the art of subtlety when it comes to applying a really cool sound to a song, and a cool song to an album. The most frustrating thing about the project in my opinion, however, is that some of the solid song concepts attempted on the album are, at least in part, poorly executed. The first track on the album is a great example of this, as the overly clanky and abrasive application of the song parts rob the track of it's intended energy. Instead of a semi-dark, peak hour florida breakbeat, the end product was pushed over the edge, winding up as being just semi-annoying. For this song in particular, I would have suggested a more melodic bass line, or at least something a little more organic to counterbalance all the dark electro clanky madness. As it is, I keep wanting to bob my head to that song, but the abrasiveness won't let it loop me out. It reminds me of clanging metal.

Now, with all that said, let me also say this: this cd in at least a couple of ways, is a huge breath of fresh air. First and foremost for me, is that it has some old-school influences in the most awesome of ways. The songs are constructed in such a way that they actually take you somewhere outside of the now uber-typical "check out my perfectly produced orchestration" modus operandi. Don't get me wrong, it's hard not to appreciate how awesome dance music producers have become at their craft over the last few years, but lately the music is all about perfect full sound, and the days of raves, raw energy, and true musical journey are long gone. Motorclub TOTALLY reminds me of the EDM from back around 1994-1995 in this way. It's not perfect, it's far from it, but dang it if it doesn't suck me right in at times, and make me start to get lost in it's unpredictable turns. I think some hooks the guys use on the album are plain awesome(even if they aren't always used perfectly) and their are moments on the disc where I thought to myself "man I would have LOVED to have seen these guys perform this song live at Fusion". I also like how some of those moments remind me of some of my favorite old school music, like Uberzone's moondust EP. There's a nice inclusion of vocoded vocal samples, a tiny touch of that 1996 Josh Wink acid tweakiness, and plenty of other stuff that today's producers shouldn't have abandoned.

I should say that I don't intend to describe motorclub as a retro album, because it absolutely isn't. It has plenty of attributes that make it unmistakeably 2008, but to my pleasant surprise it seems that unlike most current day producers, sheltershed has decided to embrace the best of the past while making the music of the future. Now honestly they've got a good ways to go if they want to be considered master-craftsmen, or if they even want to make a real impact artistically, but for the first time I see a spark flickering, and I think the light is coming on. I'm actually wondering if perhaps they might soon find markable success as an electronic "jam band" of sorts, or maybe one of the rare artists who makes music for those who still actually want to dance to edm they can throw their hands up to AND get lost in(rather than the oversexed, cheesey, or snobby stuff dominating clubs of late). For a guy like me, raised on lynyrd skynyrd and chemical brothers, that would be just fine. I definitely recommend all you tasty people check this one out.

The review I had in my head is MUCH harsher. Bill's gone over to the light side.
