This is one of my favorite electronic releases of the last 5 years. Completely different from his Skinny Puppy project, cEvin Key out of nowhere whipped up some of the slickest, funkiest, trippiest(?) electronica anyone's ever heard. I don't even know what to compare it to. Maybe Aphex Twin, Orbital, and u-Ziq on LSD and steroids.

Oh yeah, since cEvin is also a drummer, he does some wicked percussion throughout the record that you don't hear often on IDM and techno releases. Effector is pure ear candy.

<-- Wants to be cEvin Key after seeing the "Ain't It Dead Yet" vid, and agrees that cEvin is an awesome drummer.

Not sure whether it's more pretentious to spell Kevin with a 'c," or to capitalize the "E." Either way, dude needs to be bitch slapped.

I met/interviewed cEvin Key on Skinny Puppy's Too Dark Park Tour, and I was amazed at how down to earth he was. Though this was 14 years ago or so, I can't speak for him now. I distinctly remember him seeming genuinely interested in what we were asking him. Scary, but cool.

This, and he is amazingly into his gadgetry regarding his drum-kit. I guess it figures, since that whole technology/organic thing was so intertwined in Puppy mythology.

Regardless of what others may think, the body of work that he has/had a hand in is incredible.

I am sure that I am missing some, but obviously the guy is into putting out some crazy electronic hoo-ha.

I'd like to see you try it. Dude is scary big.

One of the reasons they're fond of nicknames (practically no-one in the Skinny Puppy camp goes by their real name) is that there are two Kevins -- Crompton and Ogilvie. If you include their longtime producer, there are also two Ogilvies -- Dave and Kevin.

So: Kevin Crompton == Kevin C. == cEvin Key, get it? It's actually quite clever, and you can stick your bitchslap where the sun don't shine.

Funny thing is, I don't think anyone calls him neither Kevin nor cEvin. I think they call him Kenny.

And so what if it's pretentious? We need more pretentiousness in rock/pop music, for us escapists.
