roc - album,'virgin'
both of these anonymous releases defy description. the first released on sentana is a very mixed bag, parts are very 'trip-hop' based whereas as the disc goes on it becomes more laidback ambient style. whenever i listen to it i find it doesn't attract me into its otherworld as much as i wish it could. whereas the second release on virgin records (!!) is far superior. it starts with birds chattering and then heads striaght into nin-style white noise rythmn track for 4 mins. but get past this and the rest is fantastic. largely still trip-hop based but more song orientated. imagine mates of beck having a laugh after a few herbal fags, some of the tracks even venture into indie guitar pop. highly recommended.
