Truth is admittedly not an entitlement; no. Truth is much more of a privilege. Honesty is a policy best reserved for intimate of scenarios, like an attorney's office...or watching the evening news qualifies; instances of great importance, really. But when it comes to corporations as houseguests, anything goes. Commercials seem to be exempt from expectations of veracity.
Case in point : never in recorded history has a white owl smoked a cigar. But are these avaricious aviaries content? Hardly. Instead, the face of fowl diabetes is busy conducting a pertinent investigation with the tip of his tongue!
The intrusive arrogance of media ad-space above the flesh and in the feathers.
Fortunately, blunt wraps are still relevant to the writing of this post; even after considering Dutch Masters' status as a deceitful company. After all, Rembrandt got his rocks off with mirrors, not tobacco. Yet Ernie Kovacs did enjoy a good cigar in his day. Can we not agree Kovacs was a master in his own right? Such is the presumed ambition of Dj Mix BwÉ and LycOox; to be masters, not smoking spokesmen. In their efforts to this end, each has recently maintained a steady solo output, including the song below. Perhaps analyzing its tag is wrong, Regardless, to append "#Masters" to a track only invites judgement against this very standard.
The song below is not first time LyCoOx and Mix BwÉ join forces. These meetings of the minds often feature percussive excess; and moreover these tracks are worth repeat spins. What follows, though, is no ordinary track. This much becomes clear mere seconds into the song. "WAAAAAAAWE," is different. Consider the vocal samples: the duo quaintly places this human element in the harmony as opposed to utilizing it for percussive purposes, as is the norm. This song, whoever, is more than five seconds long. Between the intro and outro is the song's body: A-B-A-C. Although a tom is is distantly heard, the first two beats revolve around the hi-hat. During the 'B' section - a LycOox creation - the rhythm becomes increasingly disjointed amidst the sound of shakers. The bass, as it were, seems to play behind the rhythm as opposed to with it; and still it sounds right. Where showstoppers are concerned, though, look to 'C'. Listeners may be anticipating the track's end. Instead, "WAAAAAAAWE," evolves further. The pair uses this drum effect as more than a cue once more, successfully turning it into an element of its own
It is within reason to say "WAAAAAAAWE," exhibits elements of avant-garde. But is it worthy of being tagged "#Masters." Well, in order to break the rules, one must be very well acquainted with them
