Search - Realistic :: Perpetual Memory Loss

"Following the esthetic of Negativland and John Oswald, Realistic borrows material from every possible source: classic rock, disco, self improvement records, soap operas [and more]." -- All Music Guide "Realistic brings you pop-culture-aware, experimental music that is at once interesting and entertaining." -- Splendid "A humorous and lively collection of sample-driven electro." -- Incursion "Realistic provides us a very enveloping aural feed--and quite a solid meal, in fact." -- Absorb Realistic's third album, Perpetual Memory Loss, features sixteen tracks of intricate sample-based compositions: a beautifully sophisticated celebration of found sound, recorded media, technology, and electronic composition. Slices of field recordings mesh with surreal electronic melodies to create enjoyably odd multi-layered musical fun. James Towning recorded as Fact TwentyTwo (Emigre Music) before debuting his Realistic project on Negativland's Seeland label. Following that were a 12" EP, Smells Like Teen Disco, and a full-length album, Private Moments, both on Illegal Art. Realistic has appeared on releases with (or been remixed by) The Evolution Control Committee, The Bran Flakes, Wobbly, Sawako, Pimmon, and Monochrome (Charles Noel).
