"Let's be Friends" reviewed by Pirate Cat Radio

Pirate Cat Radio recently reviewed "Let's be Friend" as being a carefully constructed headache inducer. This pleases me. The review is below as well as a link to the review at pirate cat:

Michael Carter aka Preshish Moments makes his debut release on Daly City Records with “Lets Be Friends”, a hyper-active breakcore album laced with pop samples from the likes of Vanilla Ice, Mike Jones, Britney Spears, the Beatles and others. After listening to the whole thing, I got quite a headache, but I am impressed with the detail and care that was taken in creating this elaborate sound collage. I just don’t think this is the album for me. I’d rather listen to the pop songs. A few tracks did surprise me, however. “Dinner” put a smile on my face for it’s clever use of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” lyrics. This track was also one of the more minimal soundscapes on the album, which gave my brain a break for a second. “Emancipationed” offered a creepy mash of Britney Spears’ “Slave” and Bubba Sparxxxs’ “Ms. New Booty”. I also find it quite humorous to take Britney out of her pop context. So overall, if you are a breakcore fan, you just might like this album. It is well done and offers some clever tweaks and complicated beats. If you’re not a breakcore fan, you just might end up with a pulsating brain and the need for some advil.

"Let's be Friends" reviewed by [030] in Berlin

I recently got reviewed by [030] in Berlin. It seems like it's focused on Shredder being DIY and whatnot. click on the picture or click here to go to the review. I've pasted the text below for those who might want it:

Mensch baut Maschine

Du stehst auf das ganz besondere elektronische Etwas?  Du kannst es gar nicht ab, wenn dein extravaganter Musikgeschmack ein breiteres Publikum erreicht? Dann haben wir hier genau das Richtige. Garantiert Mainstream frei. Willkommen in der Welt des Amerikaners Michael Carter.

Weder die neuesten Hardware Trends, noch das vielfältige Angebot heutiger Klangsoftware lösen bei dem 26-jährigen Kalifornier Jubelschreie aus. 100% DIY. Der gelernte Sound-Designer hat sich eigenhändig mit Lötkolben und Schrauber ans Werk gemacht, um im Schweiße seines Angesichts das für ihn perfekte Instrument zu basteln. Gelangweilt von den gängigen Klangerzeugern und der daraus resultierenden Vereinheitlichung elektronischer Musikproduktionen, begab sich der Bastler auf die Suche nach dem wahren Preshish Moment. Im Stile seiner Vorbilder Squarepusher und Aphex Twin ist das Ergebnis verstörend und faszinierend zugleich. Der Sound seiner Musicbox, eine Verkettung aus Hip Hop, Jungle, Breakcore und allerlei Cypernoise, gehört nicht gerade zu den gängigen Hörpräferenzen des Otto Normal Verbrauchers. Das aber macht die Sache für jene spannend, denen allgegenwärtiges 08/15 Gedudel prinzipiell schon mal auf die Nerven geht. Der Welt da draußen sei gesagt: Öfter mal was Neues ausprobieren. Auch für die Ohren. Preshish Moments wäre ein Anfang. Und was für einer.

"Let's be Friends" reviewed by Staf Magazine in Spain

I just found a review of "Let's be Friends" in the October issue of Staf Magazine. The magazine looks cool and has lot's of great pictures in it. I don't speak Spanish so I can't read the articles or my review, but I've retyped it below for those who do speak Spanish. I've also provided a link to the page in the magazine with the review (just click on the picture).

Casi todo lo que sale de la factoria de Daly City la verdad es que se merece la mayor de las atenciones por mi parte. Sello subterraneo proveniente de la ciudad donde disfrutar los mejores downhills es decir San Francisco. Nos Vuelven a deleitar una vez mas con este album de debut de preshish moments ganador de la ultima battle de laptops y machina music celebrada en SF. Lo que te encontraras en este disco en primer termino Hip Hop de gusto por el glitch pero sin olvidarse de toques emparentados con el Pop, el Breakcore, el House, el Noise y demas... Por cierto no te pierdas su maquina de madera para ejercer los controles sobre los ritmos, verdadera maravilla del Bending. Toda una delicia de los ritmos entrecortados y del gusto por la electronica bien aprovechada. No lo dudes y teclea en tu buscador favorito "Daly City Records"

"Let's be Friends" reviewed by Octopus in France

"Let's be Friends was recently reviewed in the french online magazine Octopus. It's all in french so I'm not completely sure what it says but it seems like they liked it. I've posted the review below as well as a link to the review in the magazine.

> Preshish Moments / Let's Be Friends (Daly City Records / Import)

Comme tous les amateurs de breakcore ludique et d'électronica tordue le savent, Daly City est un label sanfranciscain de référence, dont les principaux atouts se nomment Mochipet ou Bloody Snowman. Il faudra désormais rajouter à la liste, le dénommé Michael Carter, plus connu sous le nom de Preshish Moments. Mélangeant allégrement une quantité de styles impressionnantes, allant du hip-hop au breakcore, en passant par le dubstep, la pop hybride (écoutez "Emancipationed" et son clin d'œil au "Slave for U" de Britney Spears !) et le drone-noise, le tout dans un esprit d'improvisation cristallisant la curiosité, le gaillard a aussi joliment impressionné le microcosme local en remportant la fameuse San Francisco Laptop & Machine Music Battle de 2007. Un crack de la performance électronique loufoque donc, dont ce Let's Be Friends donne un aperçu conséquent. Drôle, épileptique, ébouriffant même dans sa faculté à lier musiques dansantes et expérimentations furibardes ("Dinner", "Dumber"), l'album parvient aussi à glisser des pistes plus elliptiques et post-ambient comme le troublant "Wet dream". Bref, on en redemande.

"Let's Be Friends" Review in Cuemix Magazine

I got a fantastically positive review from Cuemix Magazine! You can click on the pic to go to the review or just read it here:

"Maniac! Soundmaniac... Michael Carter aka Preshish Moments surprises us with his excellent debut-album released on the fantastic and innovative Daly City Records label. Hailing from Berkeley California, Michael lifes and loves crazy electronic music. In 2007 he was the winner of the San Francisco Laptop&Machine Battle. With self-made instruments and experimental sounds he left the audience with an open mouth. Now with the release of his debut-album called “Let’s Be Friends”, what a wonderful title, you become witness of his multitalented ambitions. I know you’ll maybe find this statement a little bit extreme but Michael is a kind of Electronica Hendrix. Its fun to hear how “easy” he plays his instruments and complicated breaks. A firework of excellent tracks with a genius writing and producing. Michael changes the styles so fast that you have to listen carefully to hear all these hidden treasures. From Rock to Hip Hop over to Breakcore, Jungle, House and Experimental. But even he changes the styles like a wizard the album never looses its identity and its wonderful atmosphere. The album can be enjoyed on your sofa or during travelling by car, but the tracks are also made to rock the floor! This album is a colourful journey done by a genius artist who proves that electronic instruments are not dead electronic circuits. Absolute approvable! Perfect 10"
