John Doran pays tribute to Lego's album of white noise, built around the idea of digging through a crate, sifting through pieces, looking for the exact right blocks to click together.
There are many parallels between Lego White Noise and music I genuinely love. The track The Waterfall, created by thousands of elements being poured out of a huge tub reminds me of one of my favourite ever gig moments: watching Einstürzende Neubauten perform the song Unvollständigkeit and at the climax, spill a seemingly never ending stream of glittering metal rods out of a hopper on to a microphone, creating a delightful shiver of sound. In this sense, the Lego music has definite ASMR properties, the pleasant tingling sensation and euphoria triggered by specific visual and sonic triggers.
