Terre Thaemlitz Gets the Midtown 120 Blues
 
- Anonymous


In Resident Advisor (Australia), September 5 2008.

 

Experimentalist extraordinaire Terre Thaemlitz will once again make a go of it under the name DJ Sprinkles.

Entitled Midtown 120 Blues, the album is the first full-length under the moniker, coming in the wake of two 12-inches released many years ago. Tinkling pianos that seem to be submerged in water, airy flutes and a number of monologues dot the record. The most notable of the latter occurs on the first track of the record in which a voice tells us that "There must be a hundred records with voiceovers asking 'what is house?' The answer is always some greeting card bullshit about life, love, happiness." We couldn't agree more.
