Reiki: Hands of Light by Deuter (CD - 03/05/2002)
"Reiki: Hands of Light" (03/05/2002) Electronic Deuter, New Earth RecordsLiner Note Authors: Deuter; HP Beate Blaszok. Of all the CDs designed to accompany the healing energy of Reiki, Reiki: Hands of Light, by Deuter, is one of the best, if not the best. That is no surprise, because Deuter always ascends to the top in whatever style he chooses. His releases are always diverse, with many different applications. This CD is perfect for use in the healing arts. It is also outstanding ambient and deep space music. The atmospheres and soundscapes evoke images of exploration and discovery. It is like a perpetual sunrise -- always new. This disc is in on an elite level and rates with the best work of Constance Demby, Jonathan Goldman, Anugama, and Jorge Alfano. ~ Jim Brenholts

Voyeur
"Voyeur *" (09/13/2005) Rock & Pop Gina X Performance, LTMMeant to be a self-conscious reaction to X-traordinaire and its perceived poppiness, Voyeur, the final album released under the full Gina X Performance name, is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, the lyrics certainly aim for a return to the cold confrontationalism of the debut -- if you're going to call a song "Pederast Dissection," one might as well go all out. Meanwhile, having a song about a dying figure "confessing his sins" when the song is called "Kaddish" and the lead character is Jewish is a bit curious, to say the least -- having the spoken word break about the burial ritual followed by a funky synth solo is unavoidably creepy, which was doubtless the intent. But on the other hand, especially in comparison to the homegrown brutality of D.A.F., then becoming an unexpected pop sensation in West Germany, Voyeur is often fairly restrained. There's giddy synth pop merriment and slow-paced moodiness throughout, to be sure, but compared to the dramatic, commanding arrangements for "Nice Mover" and "No GDM," songs like "Horror Vacui" come across as either competent copies or all-too-obvious rewrites. It's not an unattractive combination by any means, and Zeus B. Held's production holds its own, but the group was already hitting a rut. If anything the rhythms work better than the melodies -- on "Babylon Generation" a solid enough Moroder/disco beat gets cooked up, but the lead synth sounds so dorkily quirky that one wonders just where the difference between this and X-traordinaire is. There is a sense of unexpected futurism throughout, though, in that the prominence of male voices on many choruses suggests what the Human League were about to discover with their commercial breakthroughs. LTM's reissue as expected includes bonus cuts, though all are remixes of tracks not from Voyeur, including, perhaps inevitably, takes on "Nice Mover" and "No GDM." ~ Ned Raggett

The Mirror Conspiracy by Thievery Corporation (CD - 11/01/2003)
"The Mirror Conspiracy" (11/01/2003) Electronic Thievery Corporation, ESLThievery Corporation: Eric Hilton, Rob Garza. Additional personnel: Bebel Gilberto, See-I, Pam Bricker, Lou Lou, Brother Jack (vocals); Desmond Williams (guiatr, keyboards, bass); Chris Vrenios (guitar); Rob Myers (sitar); Rick Harris, Zack Grady, Mike Thomas (horns); Roberto Berimbau (percussion). Engineers: Desmond Williams, Rob Garza, Eric Hilton. Recorded at ESL Studios, Washington, D.C. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Bebel Gilberto (vocals); Desmond Williams (guitar, keyboards); Rob Myers (sitar); Mike Thomas, Rick Harris (horns); Eric Hilton, Rob Garza (programming). Recording information: ESL Studios, Washington D.C. Photographer: Bill Crandall. Thievery Corporation's second album strengthens the duo's reputation as masters of downtempo, internationally influenced beats. Borrowing from bossa nova, dub reggae, French torch songs, Italian movie soundtracks, and jazz, THE MIRROR CONSPIRACY is a sophisticated, pleasurable listen. The album is sequenced beautifully, with sexy, world-weary tracks such as "Samba Tranquille" floating into the downtempo torch stylings of "Shadows of Ourselves." The album's international flavor comes from places as diverse as Jamaica, ("Focus on Sight" featuring I-See on vocals), Paris' Arab quarter ("Le Monde"), and opium dens and teahouses ("Indra," "Lebanese Blonde"). Rob Hilton and Eric Garza, the men behind Thievery Corporation, also have active remix and DJ careers. They're co-owners of Washington D.C.'s 18th St. Lounge, a club where the Thievery Corporation sound gets tested and exercised at each evening's DJ sets. Their remix album ABDUCTIONS AND RECONSTRUCTIONS is another excellent example of their masterful production work.

Portishead by Portishead (CD - 09/30/1997)
"Portishead" (09/30/1997) Electronic Portishead, London (USA)Portishead: Beth Gibbons (vocals); Adrian Utley (guitar, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Moog synthesizer, bass); Geoff Barrow (drums). Additional personnel includes: John Baggot (samples); Sean Atkins (background vocals). Personnel: S. Atkins (vocals); Adrian Utley (guitar, piano, Fender Rhodes piano, Moog synthesizer); Steve Cooper (violin); John Cornick (trombone, horns); A. Hague, B. Waghorn (horns); John Baggot (piano, organ); Geoff Barrow, Clive Deamer (drums); Hookers & Gin, Ken Thorne (sampler). Audio Mixer: Trevor Curwen. Recording information: AIR Studios; Moles; Ridge Farm. Like Soul II Soul a few years before them, Portishead spearheaded a revolution in both pop and dance music by introducing a distinctive new groove. Portishead was at the vanguard of the '90s trip-hop onslaught, and after a three-year respite, they return with a self-titled second album to reclaim the trip-hop crown. Beth Gibbons is on her way to becoming the Billie Holiday of electronica, retaining a stoic, laconic tone while recounting tales of despair and emotional upheaval. The lazy, spacious beats that are the band's trademark provide just the right combination of urgency and tranquility to underscore the emotional contradictions at the core of Portishead's music. Adrian Utley's delightfully creepy guitar and keyboard work adorns the proceedings tastefully and effectively. On tunes like "Cowboys" and "All Mine" Portishead makes it plain that when it comes to arresting, unsettling electronic dance-pop, nobody does it better.

Parts of the Process by Morcheeba (CD - 08/26/2003)
"Parts of the Process" (08/26/2003) Electronic Morcheeba, RepriseThis collection includes 2 new tracks and a bonus DVD containing 3 videos. Morcheeba: Skye Edwards (vocals); Ross Godfrey (guitar, various instruments); Paul Godfrey (drums, percussion, scratches). Additional personnel includes: Big Daddy Kane (rap vocals); Paul Stacey (acoustic guitar, piano, synthesizer); Pino Palladino (guitar, bass); L. Melhuish (violin); Peter Lale (viola); David Daniels (cello); Andy Findon (flute); Steve Fidwell (trumpet); D Lee (French horn); D. Pipkin, Dan Goldman (keyboards); Steve Gordon, Scott Firth (bass); Chris Laurence (double bass); Miles Bould, Donald Gamble (percussion); Joe Cooper, Graham Kyle, Danny McLevin, Pascale Danae (background vocals); Kurt Wagner. Producers: Morcheeba, Pete Norris, Paul Godfrey, Ross Godfrey. Recorded between 1998 & 2003. Includes liner notes by Nigel Williamson. Morcheeba: Skye Edwards (vocals); Ross Godfrey (guitar); Paul Godfrey (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Big Daddy Kane, Kurt Wagner. Parts of the Process reflects on five albums and seven years for the London trip-hop act Morcheeba. This stunning 18-track set isn't chronologically arranged, but all the hits and staples are here. Morcheeba loyalists may be slightly disappointed by the exclusion of "Who Can You Trust?" but overall, Parts of the Process captures the beauty of Morcheeba. Big Calm seems to be the major album represented with "The Sea," "Over and Over," "Let Me See," and the song for which this album is named, "Parts of the Process." Other amazing tracks from the band's first release, Who Can You Trust? -- "Tape Loop" and the brooding chill of "Trigger Hippie" -- make this album more complete. But other select cuts are equal in style and still appeal. Cuts from the less popular Charango album add a bit of flair to Morcheeba's sophisticated catalog, especially "What New York Couples Fight About." Even the stormy narrative "Rome Wasn't Built in a Day," from Fragments of Freedom, is chalked in. Those who found Morcheeba's 2001 Back to Mine collection crucial to the band's body of work shouldn't distress; that album doesn't really fit with the direction of this collection. Instead, the trio treats listeners to two brand-new tracks. Big Daddy Kane joins Morcheeba for the funkadelic, hip-hop groove "What's Your Name," while "Can't Stand It" is the band's attempt at chamber pop. While Morcheeba isn't one of the more exclusive acts of British electronic music, they've assessed their power as artists. Parts of the Process is well-suited for those unfamiliar with the band, while still tailored for those faithful followers, too. [A limited edition release of Parts of the Process includes a limited-edition bonus DVD of live material from Morcheeba's brilliant performance at London's Brixton Academy in 2002.] ~ MacKenzie Wilson Parts of the Process reflects on five albums and seven years for the London trip-hop act Morcheeba.

Discovery by Daft Punk (CD - 03/13/2001)
"Discovery" (03/13/2001) Electronic Daft Punk, Virgin Records (USA)Daft Punk: Thomas Bangalter, Guy-Manuel De Homem Christo. Additional personnel includes: Todd Edwards, Romananthony. "Short Circuit" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. "One More Time" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Personnel: Daft Punk (vocals); Romanthony, Todd Edwards (vocals). Illustrator: Daft Punk. Photographers: Mitchell Feinberg; Luis Sanchis. In 1997, this French electro-dance duo made a huge intercontinental splash with its debut album, HOMEWORK, mixing disco, house, funk, techno, and more. While Daft Punk's second recording still focuses on the maximum accessibility that earned its debut such high marks, there's less of an obvious focus on pop hooks. Irony and house beats are the order of the day, and an eclectic thread runs throughout DISCOVERY. "Digital Love" sounds like the theme to a '70s sitcom as realized by the Buggles. "Nightvision" is a mellow, wordless, Quiet Storm-meets-Eno soundscape, while in an interpolation sure to gain plenty of attention, "Superheroes" marries a Barry Manilow sample to an unrelenting house beat. Ultimately, DISCOVERY is less of a mission statement than its predecessor, but no less danceable or listenable.

DJ-Kicks by Andrea Parker (CD) [IMPORT - Germany]
"DJ-Kicks" (09/01/1998) Electronic Parker, Andrea, !k7 RecordsAndrea Parker's contribution to Studio !K7's long-running mix series DJ-Kicks is, expectedly, heavy on electro past and present. The set's timing was market-driven; electro's periodic "revivals" are almost as predictable as the scores of second-rate tracks full of preset 808 beats and overzealous vocoders that inevitably follow. !K7 at least had the sense to call in someone with the knowledge and skill to put an interesting set together; Parker's DJ-Kicks also does double duty as a peek behind the curtain of her own fascinating, still-developing sound. The mixing is adequate, but Parker's set is ultimately about track selection, and most of what's on offer here is excellent, including classics like 69's "Desire," Model 500's "Night Drive," Man Parrish's "Hip Hop Be Bop (Don't Stop)," and C.O.D.'s "In the Bottle," as well as relative newcomers like Drexciya, Dopplereffekt, Voigt Kampff, and Gescom (aka Autechre). ~ Sean Cooper

Night Ripper [5/9] *
"Night Ripper" (05/09/2006) R&B Girl Talk (Electronica), Illegal ArtThe high-minded conceptual tropes of the original plunderphonic artists, John Oswald and Negativland, were not exactly anyone's idea of party music--pointed and often humorous cultural critique, but generally not something one could dance to. The post-Napster Internet-era of accelerated consumption has ushered in a new generation of pop-culture recyclers. These young laptop jockeys are as hell-bent on filling dance floors as they are on smashing commonplace genre banalities. Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk) is the sampledelic wunderkind behind NIGHT RIPPER, a rollicking 40-minute ride through hundreds of musical fragments, from (seemingly) as many different music styles. NIGHT RIPPER could easily have come across as a novelty record, but Gillis is no ordinary bedroom DJ-cum-producer. Abolishing the classic mash-up formula of vocal a capella over instrumental tracks, Gillis freely mixes snippets from a dizzying array of '80s pop, classic rock, grunge, Dirty South rap, and even Bollywood banghra beats. On the track "Bounce That," Gillis lays down a Ludacris rap over Elastica's "Connection" (itself an appropriation of Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba") in one of the album's stranger moments. Seamlessly mixed--as if by a highly skilled, attention-deficit-addled DJ--NIGHT RIPPER is a joyous, schizophrenic, and highly entertaining mess.

Quiet Songs by Aisha Duo (CD - 2003)
"Quiet Songs" (2003) Electronic Aisha Duo, ObliqSoundAisha Duo: Andrea Dulbecco (vibraphone); Luca Gusella (marimba). Personnel: Marco Decimo (cello); Andrea Dulbecco (vibraphone); Luca Gusella (marimba); Glen Velez (frame drum). Additional personnel: Glen Velez (drums, percussion); Marco Decimo. Recording information: Chiesa Di Sant' Agnese, Bogogno, Italy (09/2003). Tuned percussion freaks are going to love this. Aisha Duo is the pairing of Andrea Dulbecco and Luca Gusella, who play marimba and vibraphone, respectively. The aptly named Quiet Songs is almost entirely a duet album, with only a little hint of cello and some unobtrusive Irish-style frame drums in the background of a few songs. (Only on the simply lovely bossa nova-style album closer "Amanda" do the guest instruments take more than a decorative role.) Otherwise, Quiet Songs is nothing but pealing tones from the duo's primary instruments. The album was recorded in the center of a 17th century Italian church, and the combination of stone walls and a large, open room gives the album an ambience so thick the listener can almost touch it, amplifying the natural resonance of the woody marimba and the weightless, ethereal sound of the vibraphone, surely one of the most beautiful-sounding instruments in the world. The centerpiece of the album is a reworking of eight of Chick Corea's Children's Songs, his brief piano solos transformed into equally concise but considerably more inviting duets, but the entire record is a delight, lulling and fascinating in equal degree. ~ Stewart Mason
