so, i gave this a listen, and while i can't say i got much out of it, it's not due to a lack of familiarity with the source material - what's curious about this is the act of hearing somebody piece together cliches out of genres that normally don't go anywhere near each other. these sorts of mixes are often stable, but i suspect this is just too weird, and i'm left with another ween or tom waits or tricky drop or something - something that works better on paper than in real life.

i mean, winterreise almost reminds me of right said fred, and when you strip it down, that's where this really exists - it's just purposefully odd, without succeeding in being profound. and, it's sort of half-assed attempt to be profound just makes it more weird.

there's a place for weird, sure. but, let's not get confused - there's not interesting music or worthwhile songwriting underneath the gimmickry. maybe there might be, eventually. for right now, it's just weird...and you can enjoy that or recoil against it however you choose to....
