\"Information<\/a>This really belongs in the 90’s but I spaced it so what can you do?\u00a0Information Society’s<\/em>\u00a0second album took\u00a0another step away from conventional pop music and embraced even more movie dialog samples and electronic and digital sound manipulations.\u00a0 The result really appeals to me on multiple levels.<\/p>\n

First, they music is good. Next, I admire and appreciate the intricacies of the all the mixing and development.\u00a0 There are a couple tracks here that like Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, <\/em>are crafted around lyrics that are 100% sampled from who knows what.<\/p>\n

A fun side game with Information Society <\/em>[self confessed TV addicts] is trying to identify the source of all those snippets of dialog. Lot’s of Star Trek and other sci-fi stuff. They seem to like the same source materials that I do.<\/p>\n

In a way, I think this beat driven, digital sampling buffet was an early\u00a0indication of my eventual interest in Techno and Dubstep music.\u00a0 I can feel the essence of Disco in the beat as well.<\/p>\n

Is it serious critical mastery of music? Maybe not but it has the most important thing.\u00a0 It moves me and I enjoy it. Sometimes a Big Mac is just what you want.<\/p>\n
