If you’re looking for a generic house DJ compilation littered with vocal samples Mark Farina’s House of OM is for you. Not only does the BPM never change, but most songs, averaging around 4 minutes each, are comprised of the same four loops over and over again. I tried to review this while I was at the pool this Friday, but the beat was just the same for so long it was making me dizzy and drowsy. Not good characteristics for someone who is supposed to be lifeguarding. If you absolutely have to play a track off of the album, play “What’s the Time” (12), the high synth in the beginning almost makes a melody. Key word being “almost”. If you have to play two tracks, go with “Car Garage” (3), at least it sounds like a good song. A good song that is skipping. Maybe in ’91 it would have been cool to get some ecstasy and stagger around in some strobe lights to the same beat for twelve hours, but to me it seems pretty lame. I think some variety really would have killed him.
