Do you like electronic music? Consider yourself an afficianado? Listen, you probably don\u2019t know shit. Now don\u2019t get your Kraftwerk bowels in an uproar. Pick up a copy of Vintage Volts and educate yourself. This is the origin of sampling and sequencing and keyboards and loops and everything that has made hip hop and postmodern – modern dance music possible. Of course, these recordings predate all of that equipment. I curse my art school teachers for drilling postmodernism theory into my head, because now I\u2019ve actually used the word of my own volition.<\/p>\n

Vintage Volts is not dance music. It\u2019s the experimentation that was undertaken with all the seriousness of a Bach or a Beethoven. Alright, maybe not all of it. There has to be a sense of humor in there. Consider a recording made up of bits and pieces of hand cut audio tape assembled and edited in tiny sub-second increments by what were heretofore unhead of methods. Vintage Volts is a compilation of tracks that date from 1939 to 1967. It\u2019s roots music that is all about taking over technology and coercing it into something revolutionary. Like all revolutions, there is a certain amount of beheading and general unpleasantness. It\u2019s not exactly happy road trip music. You\u2019re not going to invite your pals over for cocktails and spin this gem for mood music. If you are, well then, you run with a loftier crowd than I do.<\/p>\n

In any case, Vintage Volts is good for anyone who wants to relive an era aural adventure. If you\u2019ve ever spent time as a child carrying around a mono cassette recorder with various recordings of radio static, channel changing, and assorted self-made weird noises, then this is for you. I don\u2019t know who that kid was, I\u2019m sure. Somebody told me about him, that\u2019s all. Even if you can\u2019t dig it, your uneducated friends will think you\u2019re deeper than you are. Maybe you\u2019ll score with an art school girl. You\u2019ll dance to anything…<\/p>\n
