Mr Geoffrey & JD Franzke
Be Comin'
Extreme 2007
01. Be Comin'
02. Bourke Street Mall
03. Shyness
04. Love, Love
And what could round off the week better? After a plain spectacular mixtape last year, Geoffrey & Franzke (DJ and sound designer, respectively) have teamed up with musician Mystic Moose - multi-instrumentalist, member of the band Crackpot, guitarist and soundtracker. Two new tracks and two of the most memorable from Get a Room. Extremely enjoyable and all day listenable stuff. Concise in the extreme (no pun intended) but that's a big part of its charm: always a good sign when you're left hungry for more. Joe Frawley's got at last some competition! Talented basterds...
"Naming precisely what occurs on Be Comin' is unnecessary and elusive. This is not 'plunderphonics' in the original sense that John Oswald coined to describe his music created out of samples from a single artist. Nor does it approach the scale of megaplundermorphonemiclonic, Oswald's later term to describe 'Plexure', his 20-minute piece derived from approximately 1,000 tiny samples from different artists woven together. It is also removed from Christian Marclay's actual vinyl-slicing cut-and-paste version of 'turntablism'. At the other end of the scale, Mr. Geoffrey & JD Franzke's creativity exceeds both the gleeful crash of a mashup and the high subjectivity of a mix tape, and the term 'mixscape' seems too stationary. These tracks seem to have been downloaded directly from someone's dream of strolling through a shifting terrain, rather than from a fixed or framed composition". -PMT
