Cat Five
Label: NoneGenre: Beats, Experimental
Another shot from the suggestion box... Cat Five's madcap samplerama Kataphonics finally has a sibling, a new 12-inch called "On the Rise." This may seem like a thin body of work for a five-year-old group. That is, until you discover the hours of original or heavily refurbished live tracks available on their site and realize what a fool you were for ever doubting them. These MP3s in particular were recorded directly from the mixing board and could easily pass for studio material. Cat Five are Avalanches on a budget; Negativland with a beat; whatever comparison you use when you find yourself nodding and smirking at the same time.
