Impressions
From beginning to end, I Miss You is a
delightful little EP of electronic music from CosmicDeal.
It had me by the sensitive bits right
from the get go, what with that cold, emotionless “SOS beacon”-like
opening to the record. And from there on out, one track after another
hit it out of my musical park. I don't really know what boundaries
define 'idm' but apparently this is suppose to fit in them, so take
note idm'ers (and naysayers alike). The music does seem to consist
mostly of keyboards and drum machine, thankfully it never blends
together into a same-y, indistinguishable mish-mash like a lot of
dance music. “Dreams of Oxygen” ambiance and dance, while say, “I
Miss You” has a chilling lyrical section along sides its more
piano-based music. While I'm talking about “I Miss You”, the
voice on that song... Eep! The stuff of aural nightmare fuel if
you're alone, that's for damn sure. For what it's worth, I truly
dislike the opening drum loops on "Leaving" – Drake and Lil Wayne's
type of shitty rap music has forever ruined that drum sound for me,
which is too bad, because the rest of the song is pretty good -
'guitar riffs' give the track that extra bit of bite that is
otherwise missing from the record. Of course now that I've listened
to the record a number of times, the overall appeal has waned
somewhat, (except the opening track), so I don't know how much shelf
life this will have along side its other bandcamp brethren, but for
the time being it's still enjoyable, and I think it'll make good
headphone listening for you out in the wide world.
