Optikatechniqua appreciation

Post by joe muggs » Sat Aug 01, 2009 7:02 pm

With the album being re-released I think this nutbar deserves some extra props.

Optikatechniqua has a sound all his own, it took me a while to get round the gnarly mushroom-trip vibe of it all, but I am completely addicted.

Big up Optikatechniqua. http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=177249

The album sounds so heavy - and so WEIRD - bumping out of a car... really turned some heads playing it yesterday.

Wicked thanks a lot guys :D It's little things like this that make the transition from just writing music to cure "that" itch into spending money getting the shit released worthwhile!

You guys have put a smile on my face, which I needed as I've been feeling well Taxi Driver over the last few days, hehe.

Mushrooms have been a major influence in my sound man - I live in the countryside so there's unlimited quantities for free every year. The kind you find in Sainsbury's I mean, of course :wink:
