Four Tet RoundsSe flere produkter fra AmazonRounds, the third album from Four Tet, confirms its maker, London-based laptop musician Kieran Hebden, as one of modern British music's most contradictory characters: a bedroom composer that obsesses over the roughest new UK garage and hip-hop cuts, yet tucked up in his studio writes harp-laden melodic pieces that sound like the gentle flutter of a cherub's wings and have titles like "My Angel Rocks Back And Forth". Every Four Tet album is inscrutably, sometimes indescribably lovely, and Rounds is no exception. On first listen, it sounds like a near twin of 2001's Pause--a cerebral, organic-sounding journey through vistas of gentle European folk music, Balinese percussion and next-wave hip-hop rhythms. But even Four Tet on autopilot is pretty essential stuff: the opening "Hands" layers shards of stroked acoustic chords and chrome-smooth electronic swishes into a glimmering fog of sound, before tethering it down with crashing drumkit percussion; the bare "Unspoken" sounds like DJ Shadow collaborating with some obscure minimalist composer. In this meditative work, Hebden does so much to dispel the notion that electronic music has to be cold and clinical. Long may he contradict. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

DJ Spooky OptometrySe flere produkter fra AmazonLike an angry thunderstorm dissipating into still winds and humid temperatures, the free jazz and DJ squabble of Optometry opens like gangbusters then slowly spirals into more meditative moods. Manning laptop, kalimba and turntable, New York DJ/theorist DJ Spooky stretches and shifts the free-jazz ramblings of the Matthew Shipp quartet like a sea captain navigating a treacherous ocean. Spooky is as much an improviser as Shipp and crew, adding atmospheric samples, gentle melodies and laptop mayhem at will. Beat poetry by Carl Hancock Rux adds hip-hop edge and Spooky still opts for pretentious song titles ("Reactive Switching Strategies for the Control of Uninhabited Air"), but you definitely get the feeling that something fresh is happening here. Optometry sure ain't dance music, and it's too funky for free-jazz purists, but it's just right for DJ Spooky's subliminal mind music. -- Ken Micallef Fragt: Ukendt! |

The Prodigy Always Outnumbered Never OutgunnedSe flere produkter fra AmazonMasters of reinvention, rave stalwarts The Prodigy have undergone another remarkable facelift for their fourth album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. For band leader Liam Howlett, this mutation was less about ambitious experimentation and more the result of crucial damage control: the band's disastrous 2002 comeback campaign, spearheaded by "Baby's Got a Temper" found the band stagnant and on the verge of self-parody. Howlett's response was to scrap the sessions, hunker down with a laptop and hammer out an album that held spontaneity as a virtue. And while the old touchstones--the propulsive breakbeats of old-skool hip-hop, the brooding menace of punk-rock and acid-house--are all here sporting a fresh chrome gleam, here they're joined by new influences: everything from crunk hip-hop to Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" bubbles beneath the surface of "Girls". Maxim and Keith Flint are absent, replaced by a bizarre roll call of stars--Liam Gallagher, Juliette Lewis, Twista--and obscuritiesÂ? anyone remember the Ping Pong Bitches? Not that it matters: this is Howlett's album, and whether he's rewiring Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz" as Middle Eastern-tinged acid techno on "Phoenix" or clashing with Kool Keith on "Wake Up Call", he sounds back on top of his game. --Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Venetian Snares Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006Se flere produkter fra AmazonFor anyone that finds the warped breakbeat assault of Squarepusher a little too docile, we bring you Higgins Ultra Low Track Glue Funk Hits 1972-2006, the second album from drum'n'bass auteur Venetian Snares. Taking it queasy, Canadian laptop vandal Aaron Funk constructs super-dense sheets of savage breakbeat noise, thundering from idea to idea with the laissez-faire attitude of a child prodigy stuck in remedial class. Beyond the high-octane explosions, there's an intriguing subtlety at work here. The opening "Dance Like You're Selling Nails" fires its baroque melody through a number of different mediums--the somersaulting vocals of an opera singer, rolling classical piano, digital woodwind--as mammoth barrages of distorted drums stop-start like shunting juggernauts. Sure, in spirit, it's all totally punk-rock: "Suckin' that corporate cock!" sneers a disgusted voice on "Vokeheads", as circuit boards reach tempo overload in the background. But like his closest peers--Kid 606 and Aphex Twin--there's a complexity to Venetian Snares' gleefully extreme assault that points way beyond the pursuit of noise for noise's sake. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Kieran Hebden The Exchange Session Vol.1Se flere produkter fra AmazonWhat do you get if you throw a contemporary laptop luminary into a studio with a veteran jazz/funk/soul drummer? Maybe not much in some cases, but with Keiran Hebden (aka Fourtet) and Steve Reid (former rhythm master for Martha & The Vandellas, James Brown, Miles Davis et al), you end up with a banquet of experimental music that attempts to fill a huge spiritual gap in the electronic music market. The Exchange was recorded live in one day, following a series of live performances by the duo. On occasion, the sporadic nature of the recording shows. Many passages sound like the two musicians simply have no connection whatsoever and are just filling in time, waiting for psychic inspiration to kick in. But at other times the meeting of minds is awesome, creating a thrilling, formidable energy that underlines the masterful handling of their respective musical domains. Tracks like "Morning Prayer" are especially stunning; other pieces are joyously questing in nature, while others merely strain the ears.-- Paul Sullivan Fragt: Ukendt! |

Fatboy Slim Palookaville (Bonus Disc + Bonus Tracks) [Japanese Import]Se flere produkter fra AmazonWorking with Blur on their Think Tank album clearly made an impact on Norman Cook. Palookaville, his fourth outing as cartoon dance hero Fatboy Slim, has a distinctly beatnik theme running through it. It also relies more on real instruments and proper songs, rather than Cook's laptop and fun floor fillers, swapping instant thrills for something longer lasting. That said it's unmistakably a Fatboy Slim record, and a pretty phenomenal one at that. The trademark beach party anthems are still there. The Latino shake of "Wonderful Night", "El Bebe Masoquista"'s electro-funk and single "Slash Dot Dash" with its snarling surf guitar all prove that there's life in Bigbeat yet. But it's the mellower tracks that stand-up to constant rewinds. "North West Three", a dreamy twilight tune dedicated to wife Zoe Ball, is a gorgeously romantic swayer and plinky hobo ditty "Put It Back Together" delivers a ramshackle shot of optimism in the Think Tank style, complete with a drowsy Damon Albarn. Meanwhile, "Long Way From Home"--the moody sub-bass rumble from the O2 ad--and road movie rocker "Push and Shove" find the middle ground and demonstrate that Cook's imagination is as active as ever. All the usual cut'n'paste musical bric-a-brac's there. All the wackiness and cool grooves remain. It's just that this time they sound just as good in the living room as they do on the dance-floor. --Dan Gennoe Fragt: Ukendt! |

Daniel Bedingfield Gotta Get Thru ThisSe flere produkter fra AmazonFor many bedroom producers, Daniel Bedingfield's debut, Gotta Get Thru This must seem like a dream come true. A songwriter, home-producer and vocalist whose laptop hit, the title track of this album, got released by Ministry of Sound to become one of 2001's biggest hits. Bedingfield's style could be described as Prince covering a Michael Jackson song whilst dabbling in UK Garage. "James Dean (I Wanna Know)" is a poppy piece of eighties soul-funk in the vein of Cameo but with a distinctive, fresh edge that sets it apart from countless other 80s' revivalists hanging around the charts. We see a softer side of Bedingfield on "If You're Not the One", a ballad which could easily be dismissed as generic album-filling slush but with a few listens the well-crafted song writing shines though and shows Michael Jackson how his Invincible album should have sounded. One tiny gripe about the album is the re-recorded version of "Gotta Get Thru This", while sounding far more polished and professional than before, it lacks the infectious raw groove of the original. Aside from that one small thing, the album is a positive look at how pop music should be made with a strong emphasis on the artist's music and ability rather than image. -- David Trueman Fragt: Ukendt! |

Loose Fur Loose FurSe flere produkter fra AmazonSometime Sonic Youth member, laptop tinkerer, and all-round avant-garde luminary Jim O'Rourke is one of the most prolific musicians on the alternative rock scene, but thankfully, his quality threshold seldom slips, and Loose Fur--an album-length collaboration with Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and Glenn Kotche--proves far from exceptional in that respect. Given the presence of song titles such as "Laminated Cat", you may have braced yourself for all manner of experimental tomfoolery. But Loose Fur remains a firmly song-based affair that finds Wilco's rustic alt-country edge submerged under O'Rourke's syrupy electronic tones and florid acoustic guitar work. Given the musical flexibility of all concerned, this sounds nowhere near as uncomfortable or difficult as it could: mostly, Tweedy takes the microphone, his dusty, heartfelt croon presiding over gorgeous eight-minute vistas of daze-inducing percussion, oddly oriental one-note machine tones, and repetitious guitar motifs. "So Long" is a rare jarring moment, mangled electronic guitar crunch jarring the purity of the graceful acoustic arpeggio line. But before you know it, even this moment of discord coalesces into one undeniably beautiful coda, a prime example of O'Rourke's ability to coax harmony from the oddest of tools. In all, this is a low-key joy. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Kim Gordon Kim Gordon & Ikue Mori/DJ OliveSe flere produkter fra AmazonEven the most die-hard Sonic Youth fan must have tip-toed trepidatiously to his or her first listen to the band's major label releases in the 1990s. However, the releases on the band's own SYR label, while concentrating exclusively on the most experimental end of their sonic spectrum, have been consistently fascinating and varied. The first two SYR releases were the work of the core quartet, the third added Jim O'Rourke (as a semi-permanent member) and the fourth, Goodbye 20th Century, expanded the ensemble with seven guests. This disc is the first release on the label that is not by Sonic Youth per se--Kim Gordon has joined forces with DJ Olive and Ikue Mori. Mori has been a fixture of the downtown New York experimental scene for two decades and employs a sampler and a pile of electronic percussion that looks like it was soldered together from a mail-order kit. DJ Olive is one third of WE, who are the best of New York's so-called "illbient" scene. The recontextualization that the new trio allows suits Gordon very well--shorn of any need to "rock", her knotty distorted guitar textures are settled snugly amidst the whirlwind of sound from the other two and her voice bobs around like a raft on the sonic sea. There's very little in the way of conventionally structured songs here, so she can stretch out a bit with some extended vocal techniques. Often ("Neu Adult", "Lemonade"), the lyrics are spread out in a way that doesn't readily invite following them as a narrative. Other songs are a little more straightforward, as when she's hollering "Donald Duck, kill Minnie!" ("We are the Princesses"), or the more Surrealist "Paperbag/Orange Laptop" where the words are easy to understand but intriguingly difficult to make sense of. You might think that between a DJ and a drum machine operator, something resembling a groove would emerge, but Mori never does that and Olive remains equally abstract on this occasion--the two create a complex kaleidoscope of sounds with plenty of percussive chatter but no regular pulse. -Bob Ban Fragt: Ukendt! |

El-P Fantastic Damage [VINYL]Se flere produkter fra AmazonThe debut solo album from El-P, Fantastic Damage finds this rap firebrand elucidating on the confrontational themes that have characterised his career to date. As the lodestar of influential hip-hop trio Company Flow, founder of independent hip-hop label Def Jux, and producer for Cannibal Ox's outstanding apocalyptic rap work The Cold Vein, El-P has indelibly stamped his name across the landscape of leftfield hip-hop. But Fantastic Damage is quite possibly his most extreme statement yet: a sprawling magnum opus of broiling anger and dysfunctional angst, expressed through his violent production techniques and satirical rhymes. In spirit, the music echoes the revolutionary squall of the Bomb Squad, while not actually sounding a huge amount like it: the blistering funk of "Deep Space 9 mm" boasts a far more syrupy feel than Public Enemy's tight jams, while "Dead Disnee" boasts more in common with the modern wave of laptop-wielding electronica artists than any traditional rap groove. Rhyme-wise, too, this is a bleak work: "Stepfather Factory" envisages a menacing apocayptic future where errant parents are replaced by malfunctioning cyborgs, while "Deep Space 9 mm" finds El-P waxing unprintable about his former record label, Rawkus. At 70 minutes, it's a spot long--but anyone acquainted with El-P's earlier work should lap this up. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

1 Giant Leap 1 Giant LeapSe flere produkter fra AmazonJamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman are the co-producers of 1 Giant Leap, although it's the latter who has the hands-on role of multi-instrumentalist, recordist and mixologist, providing each song's backbone. The duo jaunted around the world, snatching vocal performances from mainstream pop artists as well as masters of the more traditionally "purist" folk forms, the policy being to record each guest with a laptop, in or near their homes. There was the obvious danger of Deep Forestation, but at least 1 Giant Leap have engaged in active collaboration rather than long-distance sampling. Most of the tracks are homogenised into a 4/4-beat, programmed backing, with all the ethnic elements arranged neatly around this central pulse. On "My Culture" this results in a frightening face-off between the rapping conviction of Maxi Jazz and the bland pop penetration of Robbie Williams, a perverse presence indeed. "The Way You Dream" risks more, with Bollywood queen Asha Bhosle paving an incandescent way for Michael Stipe's fragile warble, the piece rising through three movements in epic fashion. Other highlights include Baaba Maal's striking call to prayer on the spacey-wafting "Dunya Salam", Arrested Development's Speech intertwining well with Neneh Cherry on "Braided Hair" and the more involved fusion of "Passion", with Michael Franti intoning poetry over massed voices, drums and wooden xylophones. --Martin Longley Fragt: Ukendt! |

Technova Dirty SecretsSe flere produkter fra AmazonAlthough perhaps best known as the cool jazz and Latin pilfering illustrated man James Hardway, the producer behind Dirty Secrets, David Harrow is nothing if not a man of many monikers. Here, he lifts the veil on his Technova guise, which first surfaced through the acclaimed Tantric Steps and Transience albums for Andy Weatherall's legendary Sabrettes imprint over six years ago. This third album picks up the baton with a selection that besieges grandiose electro rhythm sections with all manner of metal Mac-generated clunks and clicks, the occasional vocal pieces offering an organic tangibility to the flickering electronic luminescence that dominates the running order. PB Rose's contribution to "System Overload" provides a highlight, her software-softened vocal lifting anxious instrumentation into an epic techno stratosphere, while later tracks "Mind Games" and "Neverstop" break out the vocoders for some instantly gratifying 80s-tinged retro-electro. It's accomplished laptop synth pop. -- Kingsley Marshall Fragt: Ukendt! |

Brave Captain Advertisements for MyselfSe flere produkter fra AmazonIf your knowledge of Martin Carr ends at the fact that he used to be the songwriter for The Boo Radleys, his third solo album, Advertisements for Myself, under the guise of Brave Captain, should come as an impressive curveball. An illogical progression from the inventive indie-rock offerings showcased on his earlier records, it immerses itself in a kaleidoscopic world of glitchy, technoid jitters, acid-fried drum & bass, and laptop-tweaked songsmithery with little precedent in any coherent musical field. It's a breath of fresh air to find a singer-songwriter using such cutting-edge technology, and even if sometimes, he does end up making a dog's dinner of things--the Ramones-esque rock & roll clatter of "Stand Up And Fight" has a little too much fun with the electronic distortion dial--much of the Aphex Twin-style sequencing trickery is well up to par. That wicked sense of humour is still sharply honed, too: when Carr does pull out a grandiose tear-jerker, he goes and calls it something such as "I Was a Teenage Death Squad" to keep you on your toes. Sure, Advertisements For Myself is a flagrant piece of electronica bandwagon-jumping, but the Captain does it with such rabid enthusiasm--and occasionally, genuinely impressive skill--that it barely seems to matter. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Four Tet PauseSe flere produkter fra AmazonKieran Hebden is, it has to be said, something of a genius. The groundwork for Pause was laid on Dialogue--his debut solo album under the guise of Four Tet--landed in 1999, and immediately went about redrawing the parameters of inventive dance music. A peculiar mix of live-sounding instrumental jazz and technologically super-precise laptop dance trickery, it sounded nothing like Hebden's actual group--his day job is spent toiling in occasionally inspired post-rockers Fridge--and, as it happened, very little like anything else in existence. While not as radical a statement as Dialogue seemed, Pause is a definite update--a second brave step into the great beyond; where Dialogue employed jazz sax and flute in its evocation of a 21st-century jazz meltdown, Pause goes even further, coiling whispers of harp and zither over layer-on-layers of fidgeting, rattling percussion. His inspirations? Well, like his friend and protégé, Canadian tech-wizard Manitoba (whose excellent Start Breaking My Heart is easily the equal of Pause), Hebden collects sounds and melodies from a dizzying array of places--ancient British folk music, the rattle of typewriter keys, the gurgle of running water, even a field recording of a children's playground. Genius? There really is no other word for it. -- Louis Pattison Fragt: Ukendt! |

Caribou Up in FlamesSe flere produkter fra AmazonUp in Flames is Manitoba's second album, following on from 2001's Start Breaking My Heart. Dan Snaith plays guitar, keyboards and glockenspiel, but now he's tired of laptop-generated solo performance and is set to take a full live combo out on the road. Nevertheless, this disc remains an almost completely one-man experience. Mr Manitoba is adept at stirring up a dreamy, psychedelic pop miasma, with the opening "I've Lived on a Dirt Road All My Life" sounding backwards when it's going forwards, its jittery drums rearing up out of a wall-of-mush production. "Skunks" has a full-cream bass line and some ferrety saxophone outbursts emerging from its kaleidoscopic jangle. "Hendrix with KO" is a breezily melodic shuffle and "Jacknuggeted" develops a strummy heat-haze that has electronica patterns streaked across in a watercolour wash. "Every Time She Turns Round, It's Her Birthday" benefits from a distorted split-stereo vocal and "Bijoux" saves all of Snaith's favourite tricks for one glorious shag-pile spill, starting with his tingling glockenspiel, then rolling out the thick organ, acoustic guitar chords, fruity saxophone and an angelic vocal chorus. -- Martin Longley Fragt: Ukendt! |
