BISK Strange or funny ha-ha ?

Description

The least groundbreaking of Bisk's albums to date, Ticklish Matters is still pretty weird. The title might refer to the preponderance of piano samples, or even to the fits of giggling Bisk's bizarre juxtapositions might inspire. Either way, Ticklish Matters contains the same complex, scissored-to-ribbons sample orchestrations of his past work, though it backs a bit off of the almost formless texture-clustering of Strange or Funny-Haha? and leaves behind much of the dance music references of Time. It's probably the most 'listenable' Bisk record to date, but it's also the least enthralling.
