With a past in trash metal and influences spanning from that to The Residents, Doofgoblin offers the follow up to his critically acclaimed 2003 debut "Marblebarrel" in the form of a CD EP, with a track list of 6 compositions of ambient glitch electronics. The quality at hand is definitely remarkable, as this ain't your average "I got a computer so now I can make some noisy music" record. John Gulino, a.k.a. Doofgoblin, comes up with his own blend of rhythmical patterns and sound layers. Borrowing (but not copying or cloning) from breakcore, noise, ambient, dance etc, he puts together an album that isn't really any of those, but much rather something where the sum of all components leads to a new breed of rhythmic ambient. Sloping from one track's warping and warp-ish sounds to the next track's staal-ish digital glitching, Doofgoblin covers all grounds making sure to keep a certain consistency and homogeneous approach, without ever boring the listener. He picked the right format for it and proved that you can do beautiful glitch-core ambientronica with a meaningful structure and a deep soul. Maybe I am going beyond his simple intents, maybe I just found an album in this genre that I particularly appreciate, or maybe he's just ahead of the curve and understood what others haven't got yet.
