as you have probably noticed, the young metanoia media
label has released its first physical CD...
and what's there behind a so nice cover and few free
extracts,hu ? let me tell you :

-rope dancer : marvelous elastic vocal beats in the autechre
style (but autechre never used their mouths to do such a
stuff...). Brilliant introduction to samuel's universe

-little dance...: schhhluuurps, bleeps and blops then add
sugar melodies, shake it, add 8 bit style perfect
composition and you've got the perfect soundtrack for
Rayman86, well maybe under acid...

-flutes ta'toot : piano/glockenspiel intro, it's begin like
an old R.Wyatt song then a beat and sam'voice appears and
for a second, i thought i was listening to The Cure (!).
this evolves in a quiet song far from Idm stuff, but not for
a long time...efficient beats come back and won't leave you
till the end.

harlequin : fantastic interlude with evolving sounds - from
metalic things to something more organic. Simply brilliant
!

tip the light : dark bumping hip-hop meets The Legendary
Pink Dots and the whole thing morphs into a slow industrial
ambient piece. A wonderful track...

Pittura : complex and punchy rythms, naïve melodies and,
after a short pause some classical piano gimmiks
infiltrate(?) into your ears and leave you far from where it
starts.

Teredo : back to complex rythms with smart and fresh
melodies everything surrounded by a dark atmosphere...some
fantastic 'worm-vocals' (congrat tibs ;)).. old Tuxedomoon
meeting the Idm scene...and the song ends in a fabulous way
with samuel's vocals and 80's industrial references. A pure
gem !

The cross : Very beautiful ambient piece that perfectly ends
this album (well not really...a surprise is included...)

the 50 first orders will be available with a cd-r (if you
like JM Basquiat, the velvet underground, warhol and the
whole Factory spirit...you won't be disapointed...)...and
this whole bunch for 8 bucks ! it's a shame they still have
some to sell !
