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.

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.

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.

Vertigo II * by Dictaphone (CD - 03/21/2006)
"Vertigo II *" (03/21/2006) Electronic Dictaphone, City Centre Offices (USA)Dictaphone: Oliver Doerell, Roger Doring. After an onslaught of releases during the first half of the 2000s, keeping the notion of glitch music fresh and engaging is quite the challenge, as the sound palette has been all but exhausted and spent beyond its capacity to remain a central piece of a composition. And while Dictaphone don't exactly make glitches the forefront of Vertigo II, they use the textures to complement the field recordings and instrumentation in the forefront throughout. A blend of horns, woodwinds, and thundering basslines is the focal point throughout the record's 12 tracks, and the balance between the stark use of the organic and digital is uncomfortable yet pleasant. Vertigo II is the soundtrack to a haunting black-and-white movie that has yet to be made. ~ Rob Theakston

La Revancha del Tango by Gotan Project (CD - 04/08/2003)
"La Revancha del Tango" (04/08/2003) Electronic Gotan Project, XL Recordings/Beggars GroupThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Gotan Project: Cristina Vilallonga (vocals); Eduardo Makaroff (acoustic guitar); Nini Flores (bandoneon); Iine Kruse (violin); Gustavo Beytelmann (piano); Christph H. Muller (keyboards, bass, programming); Philippe Cohen Solal (keyboards, bass); Fabrizio Fenoglietto (bass); Edi Tomassi (percussion); Willy Crook. Producers include: Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Muller, Eduardo Makaroff, Peter Kruder, Tom Middleton. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. An unrivaled collection of themes representing a unique fusion amid traditional forms of music and the nouvelle fields of electronica, Gotan Project's La Revancha del Tango discloses unknown frontiers for the modern beat explorers. Inspired by Argentinean tango, Philippe Cohen Solal and Christophe H. M?ller, responsible for projects such as Boys From Brazil or Stereo Action Unlimited, united their efforts with Eduardo Makaroff to record what ultimately became a daring musical piece. Mixing styles like dub and downbeat and enrolling the talents of Argentinean musicians like Gustavo Beytelmann and Nini Flores, the founding trio of Gotan Project managed to deliver a unique debut album. "Tr¡ptico," "Santa Maria (Del Buen Aire)," and "El Capitalismo Foraneo" are just of the three themes revealing the trio's composing intuition, manipulating the romanticism and dark inspiration of Argentinean illustrative street music with novel electronica. Operating with instruments like the bandoneon, along with modern percussion, Gotan implements an exclusive creative challenge. "Vuelvo Ar Sur," an Astor Piazzolla original composition vocalized by Cristina Villalonga, closes this unequaled set of melodies, confirming Gotan's sole extent of melody exploration. ~ Mario Mesquita Borges

Elevators And Oscillators [Digipak] [4/5] *
"Elevators and Oscillators [Digipak]" (04/05/2005) Electronic Solvent, Ghostly InternationalSolvent: Jason Amm. Audio Remixers: Ectomorph; Josy; The Mitgang Audio; isan; Legowelt; Lowfish; Alter Ego; Perspects; Schneider TM. Elevators and Oscillators is an album of halves that isn't sequenced as such. Six tracks are new, while the other seven are remixes of tracks that originally appeared on 2002's various-artists Disco Nouveau compilation and 2004's Apples + Synthesizers. The 13 tracks are arranged to make the disc sound less like the hodgepodge it is and more like a proper album, which is remarkable since the rather distinct remixes and new productions shouldn't really fit together. A couple remixes steal the show: Legowelt's look at "My Radio" (technically a cover) turns the teary-eyed electro-pop of the original into weary, dispassionate EBM ? la D.A.F., and Alter Ego's remix of "Think Like Us" is irresistible electro-glam. ~ Andy Kellman

The Lost World by Michael Stearns (CD - 05/23/1995)
"The Lost World" (05/23/1995) Electronic Stearns, Michael, FathomPersonnel includes: Keri Rusthoi (vocals). Personnel: Michael Stearns (vocals, whistling, flute, bamboo flute, synthesizer, percussion); Keri Rusthoi (vocals); Mitchell May (flute); David Korup (dumbek); Miguel Rivera (percussion). Liner Note Author: Michael Stearns. Recording information: Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica (1995); Earth Turtle Studio, Santa Fe, NM (1995). Space music composer Michael Stearns also composes for large-screen IMAX movie documentaries. The Lost World is so massive it could easily fill the theater, even without the movie. The lost world of the title refers to the towering rock pillar and cliffs and the thick tropical rain forest of Mount Roraima in Venezuela. The area was so mysterious and so full of adventure that in 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote an adventure novel, a book that captivated Stearns as a boy. Stearns traveled by jeep, river, and foot to explore the region, returning with spectacular images and sound samples for this Cinemascope movie for the mind. The music is vast, immense, with drums as loud as dinosaur footsteps, organ drones as thick as impenetrable cliffs, and gongs as tall as the mountain's thousand-foot waterfall. Of course, the little band of explorers is overwhelmed and outnumbered by the territory and its legends. A local porter tells a scary tale while taking shelter in a cave, and the legend springs to life right from the speakers. Nothing -- exploding volcanoes, fields of crystals, natives peeking around every tree, man-eating insects -- stops the band of intrepid adventurers from marching onward into the unknown. Stearns' music is so descriptive that dinos will pound through your speakers. Like a good summer blockbuster, this album's a winner. The operative voice of Keri Rushtoi adds considerable drama to the adventure. Liner notes rate a "thumbs up" for spectacular photography and setting the scene. ~ Carol Wright

Northern Exposure, Vol. 2: East Coast Edition by Sasha + John Digweed (CD - 12/31/1997)
"Northern Exposure, Vol. 2: East Coast Edition" (12/31/1997) Electronic Sasha + John Digweed, Ultra RecordsThis is a continuous in-the-mix CD, compiled and mixed by Sasha & Digweed. Audio Mixers: John Digweed; Spooky; Charles Webster. The East Coast edition of DJs Sasha + John Digweed's Northern Exposure, Vol. 2 is sure to be a delight to fans of relaxing and near-meditative sounds. The album contains a total of 13 tracks that are remixes, but completely different than what you'd expect from most remix collections. It is dance music (in an ambient kind of way), which will also appeal to fans of house music. For the most part, each track is by a different artist (with the exception of Gus Gus, who have two songs present), but the same recognizable sound is carried throughout Northern Exposure, Vol. 2. The album sounds best when played from beginning to end, since Sasha + John have sequenced the album's selections so perfectly. And since the entire album is blended seamlessly together track by track, it's hard to pick out certain songs as highlights. A Chicane Mix of the Furry Freaks' "Soothe" is definitely a high point, with its ethereal vocals and enjoyably repetitive hooks. The Acoustic Hoods' "Cycles of Time" shows hints of funk thanks to a synth sound similar to P-Funk. The CD is a consistent, invigorating listen. [Note: Northern Exposure 2 is also available in a West Coast edition, which includes completely different songs.] ~ Greg Prato

The Rough Guide to the Asian Underground by Various Artists (CD - 03/11/2003)
"The Rough Guide to the Asian Underground" (03/11/2003) Electronic Various Artists, World Music Network (UK)Includes liner notes by DJ Ritu. Liner Note Author: DJ Ritu. Photographer: Antonio Pagano. Unknown Contributor Role: Christie Mellor. How you view the Asian underground might well be a matter of geography. To those in the U.S., it's an English-based scene that blew up in 1997 and exploded. In Britain, its roots date back to the beginning of the '90s, as this compilation so excellently explains. Starting with the granddaddy and inspiration to all, Ananda Shankar, it takes off through the pioneers, like State of Bengal and Black Star Liner, with Fun-Da-Mental's "Ja Sha Taan" an especially strong track with its strong qawwali influence. But there are no bad cuts here. Orchestral World Groove's "Pyar" is marvelously atmospheric and Asian Dub Foundation smokes, while Mahatma T offers an early glimpse of Talvin Singh, at one point the movement's poster boy. Full marks to compiler DJ Ritu -- a veteran of the scene herself -- for including a track by Sister India, who is unsigned to a label but remains quite successful (and from the sound of "Out of Place," the group deserves to be widely heard). If you though the Asian underground was all banging club beats, then this compilation is going to make you think again; it's a range of music, a mindset, if you will. And an unreleased track from Joi is simply icing on the cake. Maybe, as the notes suggest, the scene is currently in a lull; if so, you have to think it's just the calm before an even bigger movement erupts. A superb disc, excellently annotated. ~ Chris Nickson

Keep It Solid Steel Vol. 1 *
"Keep It Solid Steel [Slipcase]" (09/21/2004) Electronic Scruff, Mr., Ninja Tune (USA)If the title was a directive to Mr. Scruff's Andrew Carthy to make sure that his volume in the Solid Steel series stayed true to the spirit of previous volumes, Keep It Solid Steel has to be called a disappointment. Still, it compares well even to series highlights like DJ Food's Now, Listen! nevertheless. Carthy, a long-time DJ with a knack for resurrecting great sounds, spins an energetic mix of deadly obscure tracks lifted from reggae, dance, soul, and old-school hip-hop; although he may not mash up every track in sight -- a Solid Steel specialty -- he does flaunt his status as a messiah of neglected hooks. Hip-hop is clearly his favorite genre, and many of the non-rap tracks end up serving only as bridges between nuggets from the old school that are either famous (Ultramagnetic MC's, Just Ice, Showbiz & AG) or not so famous (UTD, an early project of Mos Def's; the British combo Demon Boyz; and the LA-based MadKap). In the liner notes, Carthy tells the story behind each track, and also includes a scan of each cover -- or, for many of these, each label, since few of his favorites even rated a picture sleeve upon original release. Keep It Solid Steel may not imitate a typical release from the Solid Steel series circa 2004, but it's an impressive display of ferreting out a ream of old vinyl and mixing it together superbly. In that, the record compares remarkably well to the forefather of the (released) Solid Steel sets: Coldcut's Journeys by DJ: 70 Minutes of Madness mix from 1996. ~ John Bush
