AMETHYST DECEIVER
“Echo’s Weave”
(Sam’s Cabana)




Samuel Mintgreen, aka amethyst deceiver (aka probably Sam’s Cabana), likes his guitar treated and run through loopy computer programs. Hey, I like stuff like that! I will almost certainly like amethyst deceiver.

*listens to Echo’s Weave with increasing frown*

Huh.

Here’s my review: Echo’s Weave sounds like the practice tape of someone who is trying to grow into a style (here, ambient) but who is not yet at the point where form meets function. There may be a good record in there, but Sam Mintgreen has to get it out of his head first. As it stands, Echo’s Weave is directionless. And sometimes backward, which is cool?
