♫♪  MICRODEFORM - UNDER OBSERVATION

Riddance is the self-preservation one needs to move forward. Ride a bicycle is what we all remember, but nothing in a gained forward motion unless you can flip it. Same with cassettes and CDs and DVDs and records and video-game cartridges and VHS: if you can 360-degree spin something made into a Goliath that gave back to David before death, maybe we’d be able to set aside the aggressive game of “Me, me, me!” and provide a more meaningful “Us, y’all: we did it, like always!”

Case in point: when I hear the restructuring of sounds shaped to complete a train of thought by a singular train of thought (whether solo or group), it’s actually harder at that point to consider — and then reconsider — the fruits bared in appropriation of originality. To provide an exact example: UNDER OBSERVATION by MICRODEFORM (the newest release by PALE MASTER on cassette) is absolutely a refurbished bicycle, polished in a way that it had never been before, with grease in all the right places and enough Swiss to cheese the cream out ya beak.

Drift away into the pockets of sanity in UNDER OBSERVATION, as we’re all being watched in some sorta way. It’s more so about paying attention to the purveyor. MICRODEFORM is aware of your witness. Press play:
