Paul Nataraj ~ You Sound Like a Broken Record (Self-Released)
You Sound Like A Broken Record is one of the most distinctly original releases of the year. Playful, sentimental, and nihilistic, it delves into personal stories and unique memories, all held together within vinyl grooves. Fourteen volunteers gave up a record that had special importance in their lives. They were later interviewed and their personal stories were etched onto the surface of the vinyl. The experimental work stands out because of this process, but it’s also an important peek into the mechanics of music as memory, as well as ‘bringing into relief the dialectical position the record plays as both icon of the music industry but also symbol of musical rebellion’. The music has been reconstructed, too, the heart spilling out through the speakers in a fascinatingly disjointed but spirited way. The records are varied: Stevie Wonder, Bowie, Duran Duran, Brotherhood of Man, and Lil Louis are all distorted and rearranged according to personal memory, making this at once a record of intimacy and growth, speaking of the industry at large with million-selling popular records and the industry’s loving fixation on vinyl. You Sound Like A Broken Record opens a ‘productive dialogue between industry, user, artefact, artist, music, and society’. Vinyl hiss never gets old. It holds a special place in the heart, and a digital file can never replicate that. Love shapes this recording – a love for music, and a love for the spice and colour it gave to a moment, affecting someone’s life. It doesn’t get much better than that.  (James Catchpole)

In the near future µmankind is tranceformed. A virus trancemitted from person to person fx the circuits around µs, delivering them sentience and psychIC nature. An invisible bond lies between µs and our computer kin. Now all things are different but somehow the same. The dream hums and flows, twists and turns and changes.
