Thigmotactic by Negativland - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

Years before the art of musical appropriation was made commonplace by remix and mash-up artists, self-styled “Culture Jammers,” Negativland, pioneered the use of mass-media cut-ups with jam-packed audio collages that sharply critiqued consumer culture. In a surprising but no less revolutionary turn, THIGMOTACTIC is the group’s first full-scale foray into songwriting. Transcribing their pointed attacks on intellectual property law and the banality of suburbia into humorous, slightly zany observations on modern life, THIGMOTACTIC is easily the band’s most straightforward and enjoyable album.
