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.

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.

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.

The Soccergirl EP [EP] by Kid606 (CD - 01/02/2004)
"The Soccergirl EP [EP]" (01/02/2004) Electronic Kid606, Carpark RecordsContains 6 tracks. The Soccergirl EP marks the second release in Carpark's "sports-FAN" series and just about the first time Kid606 strives to flex his lamenting ambient muscles. In its own way, this is as effective and intense as any of his earlier freako-nutso-breakbeat electro-punk psychosis. From the waiflike electronic glide of songs like "Thank You for Being My Angel (Rev 1)" to the amusingly sweet of others like "If My Heart Ever Ran Away It Would Be Looking for the Day When Right Beside You It Could Stay Forever," Kid606 refuses to even play by his own previous rules. His anarchic gabba has been replaced with a sentimental, Arovane-aping, Pole-like understatement and one might guess that Kid606 suddenly saw that his own specialized style has become a mini-establishment in itself. Which, one guesses, demands an internal rebellion of his own. Even his usually humorous titles suggest this shift. Instead of the insulting or the absurd, there is a sequence of songs that seem to encircle a simple narrative of a love found ("Start") and lost ("Over). This newfound candid step is a crucial earmark in Kid606's career. Understated, yet still unexpected. It's an admirable stab at joining the ranks of the unpretentious auteurs like Boards of Canada or Aphex Twin, and it's shocking how well he succeeds. It's likely that this will become the biggest understatement of all. ~ Dean Carlson

Loudboxer by Speedy J (CD - 06/04/2002)
"Loudboxer" (06/04/2002) Electronic Speedy J, Novamute RecordsSpeedy J: Jochem Paap. Recorded in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Abandoning the high-IQ experimental-techno of his last two NovaMute records, Speedy J turned in a surprisingly straight-ahead collection of pummeling techno, boasting more in common with a Richie Hawtin mix set than the latest Autechre LP. Loudboxer is also much less track-based than either A Shocking Hobby or Public Energy No. 1. In fact, he's often content to simply bash away track after track of hard Detroit techno until peaking near the end with a live version of "Krikc" (which comes complete with audience screaming akin to a roller-coaster ride). Though Speedy J does pure techno as good as he did his earlier experimental productions, it's a shame he's gotten back to the kind of tracks that DJ Hyperactive could be knocking out in his sleep. ~ John Bush

I Love Presets by Kevin Blechdom (CD - 05/13/2002)
"I Love Presets" (05/13/2002) Electronic Blechdom, Kevin, Tigerbeat6Kevin Blechdom: Kristin Erickson. Kevin Blechdom, laptop whiz for Blectum From Blechdom and Adult Rodeo, brings an instinct for giddy pop to her solo debut. Hipsters can smirk knowingly at "Mr. Miguel," a dirty ode to one-time boyfriend Kid 606, and at the outrageously cheesy cover of "Private Dancer" (not to mention the group portrait with Nelson on the CD face). The real highlights, however, are the hopped-up carnival freylekhs of "Shelley Sho'nuff" and, especially, "Interspecies Love," a swoony, silly delight. Less self-important than Kid 606 and more fun than Peaches, this is electronic music for those who expect their cultural deconstruction to come with tunes and real human emotions. ~ Daniel Browne

Sound + Vision: Electronic Tribute To David Bowie
"Sound and Vision: The Electronic Tribute to David Bowie" (07/02/2002) Electronic Various Artists, Vitamin Records (USA)Personnel: Belinda Kazanci, Damian Wagner (vocals); Brian Chapman (guitar); John Nau (keyboards); Jim Doyle (programming). As is often the case with electronic tributes to pop artists, Sound and Vision succeeds as a worthy collection of down-tempo electronica, but wavers as a tribute album. While Bowie archetypes like Major Tom and Ziggy Stardust were in part products of science fiction and human space exploration, which have in turn influenced modern electronic music, there is a disconnect between the influence and the legacy. Hearing Bowie's distinctive lyrics sung over a swirling big beat concoction ("Changes") or haughty European laptop beats ("Heroes") is a little unsettling, even if Bowie himself has dabbled in electronica in the latter years of his career. At the same time, Sound and Vision's production is top-notch, and the eclectic, often-innovative arrangements do breathe some life into tracks like "Let's Dance" and "Fame" that have become a bit hackneyed due to overplay on AOR radio. Both of these are handled by consistent Vitamin standout Motor Industries, as is a version of "Sound and Vision" that channels the chilly new wave of Terri Nunn and Berlin. These and Jun Jun Clinic's bizarre take on "Oh You Pretty Things" should be mix-tape favorites for any Bowie aficionado. ~ Johnny Loftus

Swordfish: The Album [PA] by Original Soundtrack/Paul Oakenfold (Remix DJ) (CD - 06/05/2001)
"Swordfish: The Album [PA]" (06/05/2001) Electronic Original Soundtrack, Sire Records (USA)Original score composed by Paul Oakenfeld. Personnel: Andy Gray (programming). Audio Mixers: Lemon Jelly; Andy Gray ; Paul Oakenfold ; Salt Tank. Audio Remixers: Andy Gray ; PMT; Paul Oakenfold . Trance master Paul Oakenfold takes a stab at film composing with the soundtrack to this John Travolta cyber-espionage thriller. In creating music (and remixing other artists) for a film about computer hacking and international intrigue, Oakenfold keeps the tempo for SWORDFISH moving along at a fairly quick pace. The best remixes here include the slamming beats and undulating house vibe permeating Jan Johnston's "Unafraid" and the swooshing synths and jackhammer beats that find the British-born DJ exposing his inner Giorgio Moroder on Muse's "New Born." Elsewhere, the Kraftwerk samples found in Afrika Bambaataa's classic "Planet Rock" get beefed up and Oakenfold's dalliance with hip-hop extends to the Outkast-flavored remix of "Lapdance," featuring Nerd, Lee Harvey and Vita. Other highlights include the fusion of ambient swaths of sound and breakneck beats on the Planet Perfecto team-up "Get Out Of My Life Now" and the hard-driving Christopher Young collaboration "On Your Mind" featuring dialogue snippets of Travolta and Halle Berry from the film.

Lounge Story, Vol. 2 by Various Artists (CD - 04/27/2004)
"Lounge Story, Vol. 2" (04/27/2004) Electronic Various Artists, Dreyfus Records (France)Compilation producers: Jazzamar, Da'Vince. This is part of Dreyfuss Records "Lounge Story" series. Dreyfus' Lounge Story, Vol. 2 collects more stylishly mellow electronica and acid jazz influenced by the lounge music of the '50s and '60s. Moondog's timeless "Lament I, Bird's Lament" gets the album off to an eclectic start; the trend continues with Klement Julienne's slinky "Mannix" and "I Want to Be With You," a lush, loungy ballad from '60s songstress Carol Ventura. The collection incorporates music from a wide array of countries, styles, and eras, but the album's refined, slightly esoteric feel is what holds it together. Other highlights include John Beltran's "Heaven and Earth," Nu Tropic's "Pascalito's Theme," Tr?by Trio's "High Jazz (Nicola Conte Remix)," and Hajime Yoshizawa's "I Am With You." More stylish and diverse than many other laid-back electronica collections, Lounge Story, Vol. 2 is recommended to anyone who wants breezy, sophisticated music that sounds both modern and timeless. ~ Heather Phares

Creative Playthings [Digipak] * by Electric Company (CD - 09/28/2004)
"Creative Playthings [Digipak] *" (09/28/2004) Electronic Electric Company, Tigerbeat6Much like his other releases for Tigerbeat6 (and this could apply to the label in general), Electric Company (Medicine's Brad Laner) can't sit still to save his artistic life. Throughout Creative Playthings' 18 tracks there lies an interesting hybrid of indie rock and electronic laptop wizardry, akin to labelmates Dwayne Sodahberk and Stars as Eyes. Much like its title, the album invokes a spirit that is childlike and innocent, complete with upbeat melodies, frantic beats, and rapid-fire edits, bleeps, and noises. The hyperactivity abounds -- with one idea jumping to the next without apology and ideas never fully coming to fruition. One of the most notable highlights comes as the end of the record: if played on a computer CD drive, a whole slew of secret MP3s are included, another full-length album of material that almost bests anything on the proper album. Also included in the MP3 batch is a beautiful live performance from 1998. Song titles withstanding, it's an IDM album the whole family can enjoy. ~ Rob Theakston

GQ on the EQ++ by Kid606 (CD - 06/19/2001)
"GQ on the EQ++" (06/19/2001) Electronic Kid606, Tigerbeat6Includes previously unreleased tracks. Give credit to the Kid for this one -- when the original vinyl release turned up on CD, it became a full-on rarities collection, pulling together unreleased tracks and a variety of scattered one-off efforts as bonus cuts. The result is a nice overview of his work between 1997 and 1999, with his brand of extreme loop/sample treatments and glitch rhythms on regular display. The original EP tracks are enjoyable enough as they are; there are enough individual touches -- the wordless vocals on "My Kitten Went to London," the calmer distorted string/drone rumble of "Dandy," the almost shoegaze/blissout wash of "Take It from Me" -- to make it a worthy listen on its own. Beyond that, the other random tracks are an all-over-the-place delight, starting with the nicely titled "...Just Another Kool Kat Out Looking for a Kitty," which hits all the buttons from dank breakbeat noise to piano ambience and soft wordless vocal croons, usually all at once. In contrast to the often noisy way Kid606 has made his mark, "Nobody Wants to Be a Star Anymore (Toss It)" takes a completely low-key approach, with a quieter volume compared to everything else on the disc and a soft, sweet melody gently floating above a persistent but still pretty calm rhythm. "When I Want a Gun, Yeah" fits into that vein as well, but with more open clattering and sudden spikes in the volume to throw things even more off-kilter. Of three tracks from a split tour single with Lesser, "Relive Yr Unhappy Childhood" is the best, a dreamier but melancholy piece that's short but makes its effective point. ~ Ned Raggett

Sirens * by Kenneth Newby (CD - 04/29/1997)
"Sirens *" (04/29/1997) Electronic Newby, Kenneth, City Of TribesPersonnel: Kenneth Newby (vocals, sampler); Barbara Imhoff (harp); Chris Miller (rebab); Stephen Kent (didjeridu). Audio Mixer: Kenneth Newby. Recording information: Mobius Studio, San Francisco, CA (1995-1997); Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (1995-1997); Vibrant Arts! Laboratory, San Francisco, CA (1995-1997). Unknown Contributor Role: Alex Stahl. Newby's solo return after a four-year absence, Sirens is an immersive collection of ambient and environment electro-acoustic music with strong though restrained Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian influences. Newby intertwines a number of wordless vocal sources with drones, sparse percussion, and contributions on harp, rebab, bull fiddle, and didgeridoo from an assembly of guest artists. A strong, consistent album. ~ Sean Cooper
