Duet Emmo
Or So It Seems
2 out of 5
Duet Emmo is a spinoff project of Wire. Remember Wire? Nobody listens to Wire until they hear R.E.M.’s “Strange” on Document and they are name checked and then we all say, “Oh, fuck, Wire! Pink Flag!”
And then we move on.
This is basically indulgent noise making if Xex had their sense of humor stripped and left alone in a studio for too long and if they secretly wanted to be Tangerine Dream but listened to too much Eno.
Here’s what Trouser Press wrote about them:
“Or So It Seems fluctuates between atonal, electronic sound collages and stiff, monotonous synth-funk reminiscent of D.A.F., with no track ever getting off the ground. Fun studio noodling no doubt, but not of lasting import.”
I agree. It’s fine. If you miss Eno and want to hear a lesser approximation, give this a shot. Otherwise, I would pass it up.
I don't blame anyone for not liking it, I also can’t blame anyone for saying they like it. It’s just there.
If you’ve got data entry to do this might help you get through it.
