Straight Component – Three Men in a Tonka
Straight Component – Three Men in a Tonka
Release: [onmp021]
Release year: 2000
Release notes
Although Straight Component’s first two albums were groundbreaking in their own right, ’3 men in a Tonka’ is where the band’s hypnotic electronic pulse genuinely came into its own. The main difference between ’3 men in a Tonka’ and its predecessors is how it develops an insistent, propulsive pulse that makes the repeated rhythms and riffs of the shimmering electronic keyboards all the more hypnotizing.
The album was produced by Mr. DeVo!
Straight Component – Nicy
Straight Component – Nicy
Release: [onmp020]
Release date: December 10, 1999
Release notes
Having indulged in more explicitly realms with the different side projects, Straight Component returned to full action with ‘Nicy’, an effort that ranks as one of the best Straight Component releases sofar. If not as immediately memorable on a song per song basis as an overall piece ‘Nicy’ makes for an inventive, fascinating aural experience.
All music composed and made by Mr. DeVo! & J. Surrealism at the Peek-A-Boo productions studio.
Straight Component – Just Another Product
Straight Component – Just Another Product
Release: [onmp019]
Release date: November 10, 1999
Release notes
Compared to where most of the band’s career would later go, Just Another Product is a fairly conventional debut from the band.
As such it’s also arguably the least cryptic and most approachable release for newcomers.
Rather than focusing on ambient experimentalism or industrial noise destruction, here Straight Component sound like a straightforward if at times inspired act, whose tendencies to push the envelope are secondary to keeping the beat going.
Music written and composed by Mr. DeVo! & J. Surrealism. Recorded at the Peek-A-Boo studios.
