Negative Positive
Title: Laptops Awry
Review: Frank Zappa was one of the first, programming unplayable music into his Synclavier so he, as a composer, was no longer bound by the limitations of real players. In the decade since, the state of the art in "laptop music" hasn't advanced very far, as evidenced by Tickmayer's busy, messy, largely unplayable goulash of notes. There are moments of clarity, tiny slices of lucidity amongst the g-spot tornados, but in general this album represents both the nightmares of professional musicians (being replaced by technology) and a pretty good case for why it'll never happen.
Is the review positive or negative?
