| Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man, Sixtoo's first album in 3 years, musically builds on his previous (mostly instrumental) epic, Chewing on Glass and Other Miracle Cures. Always exploring the possibilities and never quite content with just one way to approach what one would perceive as standard beat making production. Here, Sixtoo has compiled several live improvisations from various instruments he played, then re-arranges and manipulates them over many different machines and devices at his control, piecing everything together, in the same way you might pluck and choose with heavy sampling practices. The result is an instrumental listening experience that may not grab you right away, but requires repeat listenings to truly understand and appreciate what he's done with this one. Longtime fans won't want to miss out! | |
