MX Skroch - Loophole

Here is the middle release from the "InSkroMental", "Loophole", and "Ugly Music for Pretty Girls" trilogy. This collection was created when I decided to digitally remaster & EQ some of my best original material to optimize fidelity.

"Loophole" is primarily focused on experimentation. This is the only album of the three to include other musicians, mostly on one-off performances or looped multi-track creations.

From the 90-second whimsy of "Soundo Effecto" to the brutal cacophony of the 17-minute "Intended Sexual Assault"; "Loophole" throws something completely different and unexpected at you every few minutes. Soundscapes, industrial music, loop built tracks, recordings of pizza delivery interactions...it's all that and more!

Notes

Album #: 65 Recording Dates: 1992-2000 Release Date: 2007 Catalog: SMR25 Notable Tracks: Track 01 - Tingle (MX Skroch) - A spooky cloud moves in from the distance. Your skin begins to crawl. Something is bubbling within. Suddenly it bursts out! [Scratch on Sequencer] Track 03 - Sitting Duck (MX Skroch with Suneel V.) - Piano rock turns into crushing heaviness before bridging into a dance bit that turns into satellite signals reaching out for spiritual assistance when suddenly your messages get a response and a plea as sad orchestral music begins to take shape... Also featuring a rather unique vocal performance as I elucidate the context of modern life. [Scratch on Bass, Vocals, Drum Beats, Galactus & Space Phone] Track 08 - Cotton Candy (MX Skroch) - A drum driven, mostly sample based slap across the face. I'd recently taken a liking to obtaining collections of samples to play with. Where they came from wasn't important - sometimes they came from CDs I bought; boom box recordings of the TV in my living room, or a small pocket tape recorder I kept handy for those special occasions. [Scratch on Guitar, Drum Beats & Samples] Track 13 - We Used to Wear Toughskins (MX Skroch) - This time it's personal as I share recordings of pizza deliveries; answering machine messages from the Chophouse and our landlord trying to throw us out, and commentary about Jeffrey Dahmer. Oh, and I guess I made recordings of my neighbor's kids in the mid-1980s so I fit that in as well; and some movie samples from 1961. So something for all ages I suppose!
