Sherlock
Holmes was busy playing his violin when Dr Watson burst suddenly through
the study doors. “Is it true Sherlock? Have you cracked the case
of Dissecting Table ‘Hypocrisy”?" he asked. “Why
of course my old friend” replied Sherlock. “Please tell me
how when so many others have failed” queried Watson.
“It was very elementary Watson old boy. Firstly… everyone
thought that the music of Dissecting Table had run its course but I knew
better. Even though this was his umpteenth release I figured that Ichiro
Tsuji could still produce the goods and was preparing a record that would
confound his critics.” “By Jove you’re right there”
Watson interrupted. Sherlock gave him one of his cold stares.
“Secondly Watson…the first track was the giveaway to Ichiro’s
cunning plan. You see he’s taken a veritable kaleidoscope of musical
styles and ideas and mutated and repeated them making for an experience
that will leave the listener gasp in astonishment.” “What
bravado and daring” sighed Watson sagely.
“Thirdly…and most importantly…he retained the Dissecting
Table sound of beats and squalling sound that has become his trademark
known to thousands. Therefore he hasn’t alienated old fans of his
music but at the same time he’s taken the musical structure that
one step further than ever before” Sherlock said with a flourish.
“Damn clever chap that Ichiro” Watson exclaimed. “Yes
damned clever Watson. Everyone had written Ichiro off and therefore failed
to take any notice when this suddenly appeared and blew everyone away
with its style and bombast”.
Watson looked lustily at Sherlock. “So Ichiro didn’t murder
Miss Smythe at Grove Manor after all then?” he asked. Sherlock smiled.
“No Watson he did not! But he has released a killer of a CD”
he added smugly. “Now be a good boy Watson and close the door behind
you. I’ve made up a special concoction of drugs. Time to get ripped
to the tits again.”
