9/02/2009 mini cd reviews

slug magazine ran a couple favorable reviews of the two 3" cds i've released so far:

Sleep 3" (link to august reviews)
Ok Ikumi = Ok Ikumi
Trying to think of all the technical things that go into this is mind destroying. Based mostly around glockenspiel and music box samples, Sleep is a beautiful instrumental lullaby. The pieces are cut into five sections that are repetitive in a graceful, dancing way. “Sleep 5” pulls out of the pretty dream into an adventure game where you must save the knight from the vicious princess. Of course, it ends well. –Jessica Davis

Nano 3" (link to september reviews)
OK Ikumi = Classic Nintendo
This is the second release of OK Ikumi’s mini CD series. Nano, created using a Game Boy and a program called Nanoloop, sounds amazing. Just close your eyes and hop into any Nintendo video game (preferably ones from the Classic Nintendo that you had to blow on the games and hope to magic the game started). They captured the hopping sound as you land on a Goomba, distorted shooting fireballs, space travel, and kachinking through a line of coins. Don’t forget the fire level, and spooky dungeons with pits of death. Then it all comes to an end with a switch to Doctor Mario’s pile of blocks overloading. I love it. –Jessica Davis

interested parties should get in touch via email (for now) to get a copy.
