A:
I'm telling you man, it's great.
B:
It's fine. At best.
A:
What's your big pick then?
B:
Easy. Xela, In Bocca Al Lupo.
A:
That's the name?
B:
Xela is the name of the group, In Bocca Al Lupo is the album.
A:
What does it sound like?
B:
Well, there's no instruments or vocals, to start.
A:
So
B:
It's recordings, mostly. Of machines and... static. The first track is a lot of tape clicking
A:
Ok...
B:
Actually, scratch that, there's drums on the last song. It's 20 minutes long, so. And there's sort of discordant church bells or something on the first track. So, some instruments.
A:
Sounds awful.
B:
Well, it's definitely esoteric. It's a headphones listen, that's for sure.
A:
That can't honestly be your Best Album of 2009.
B:
Oh yeah, big time.
A:
Nobody thinks you're cool for saying that.
B:
I don't need your approval, I've got my cassette tape clicks, and... actually, there's a lot of church bells in there. Do you want to rip it?
A:
Nope, not at all. I have zero desire to get into this kind of wagging contest, of whose iTunes records the most time spent listening to the "Staticky churchbells in the distance" genre.
B:
Wise man. I'd've crushed you.
