Mr Velcro Fastner

Lucky Bastards Living Up North

BY Mike BurrowsPublished May 1, 2001

Mr Velcro are a couple Finnish guys both named Tatu. Instead of bringing the funk, they program analog robots to bring the funk. The job gets done but the results are flat: two dimensions, no depth. The synth chops are great for the first 30 seconds of each new song, but then you have to wait another four minutes before anything changes. Same goes for the bad-ass ghetto blaster beats. The programs are just too stable, not enough volatility.
