Thread Name: Review: Jim White
Subject: RE: Review: Jim White
"All of his stuff is hard to describe. The haunting dreamscapes he's able to weave together with incongruent instruments like the banjo blended in effortlessly with all the techno-wizardry (what Jim White calls "hick-hop") is irresistable.   The darker stuff I like to think of as "disturbingly beautiful." It makes me a little uncomfortable to listen to it because I feel like I'm an aural witness to some unnatural, twisted behaviors. His way of relating them elevates them to the status of art, much like Nabokov did in "Lolita."

You're description does Jim White justice ... thanks Guest.
