Darn Bite - Big Floor        Recently I’ve been taking frequent 40 minute walks. I usually listen to my Discman while I’m out, so if it’s a shorter CD I get to listen to it all the way through. Today I listened to Darn Floor – Big Bite. “Return of the Beat Menace” was an excellent start to an otherwise good to excellent album. I liked it because it reminded me a lot of Alarma! DFBB has more dissonance than Alarma!, which is interesting because Alarma! has plenty of dissonance on its own. One listen to the riffs on “Beat Menace,” and “Pictures of the Gone World” have me convinced that Greg was inspired by Jerry’s playing on Alarma! The better cuts: “Return of the Beat Menace,” “Darn Floor – Big Bite,” “Pictures of the Gone World,” “Half Light, Epoch and Phase,” and “The Unattainable Earth.” It’s not often you find that many tracks you like on one album. A lot of people here have commented on the monotony of the same instruments, but I would like to propose that this is simply not true. Greg makes his guitar sound like a violin, a synthesizer, and a choir of angels. I felt that this provided plenty of variation. __________________ David Andrew Wiebe www.daw-music.com www.arcticsunburn.com 06-17-2003 23:55 .backs.
