far from 1 speed beats,
By A Customer
This review is from: Droopy Butt Begone! (Audio CD)
1 Speed Bike, whilst being the side project of Godspeed You Black Emperor!'s percussionist, sounds nothing like godspeed except in spirit. Instead of your usual Constellation Bleakness, you get the emotional soundscapes with drum breaks and huge basslines. this formula seem's to produce a very wide range of beats and breaks, Ranging from the damn fast that would get you going mental in any club. To laid back Experimentalism, which is perfect for the end of an evening. This album is self indulgence as far as the artist is concearned. but hey, Jimi hendrix was self indulgent at gig's, Your not going to tell him to stop playing that damned racket on that damned guitar. 5 star indulgence.

Amazing work from Aidan of Godspeed!,
By Zac Gray - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Droopy Butt Begone! (Audio CD)
Techno alter-ego of Aidan from Exhaust & Godspeed, sampling his own live beats & mixing them up with melodic elements ranging from the irreverent to the sublime.I took that from the Autumn 2000 Constellation catalogue, describing the 1-Speed Bike release, because it did so, very , um, correctly. This is an amazing release. For anyone who listened to Godspeed... or any expeerimental group, this is definatly for them! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:

this is not godspeed,
By mf - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Droopy Butt Begone! (Audio CD)
several reviews compare this recording to gy!be and it's lack of sounding like gy!be. mainly because it isn't nor was it meant to sound like that. it also doesn't classify as electronic music. i would assume this is aidan's "boredom setting in" release. he interestingly took his own recorded drums from gy!be and exaust, cut em up and looped them adding interesting bass lines and random field recordings. the production is kept to a minimal and no crazy effects are used. just simple delays, reverbs and flange, phase work. some nice moog-like synth swells and blops also to boot. this is worth picking up. i do belive more could have been done with it though(it seems he didn't spend as much time tweeking as he should have), but a solid effort nonetheless.

Turtle Chompers,
By Tim - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Droopy Butt Begone! (Audio CD)
Well I had no idea what to expect from this cd, all I knew is that it was put together by mr drum boy from Godspeed You Black Emperor! which might I add is a great band, and everyone should give them a shot. Anywho, 1-Speed Bike was everything that I was expecting and more, its truely put together with great precision and thought. Very well done structures and harmonies. If anyone is into drum n bass they should check this out, if anyone is into GYBE! they should check this out, if anyone is into expirimental they should check this out, if anyone is into 1 use enimas they should check this out. On the other hand, Gladiator is a great movie and I highly recomend it.
