If you've already heard "Cload" on _Osmosis_ (Leaf), you'ver heard 1/4 of
the 12". It's pretty nice, but I had expected better. Pole's work is
nothing to write home about. Or to this list. It pales in comparison to
the Eardrum remix 12", off of which I loved all 4 tracks. I can't
determine if I prefer the Sofa Surfers mix at 33 or 45 - if only all the
records I bought had the same problem ; )
Speaking of Fourtet, I've enjoyed everyone of his (Kieran Hebden from
Fridge) releases. His 12" on Output, "Misnomer" still blows me away in
terms of lyricism and layered beauty. "36:25", another single, takes a
while to get where it's going but is well worth it. And then there is
the "Calamine" single, whose A side that I forget the name of shares a
sample with Richard Kirk's _Number of Magic_. Certainly there is more
than that to recommend it, but it lacks the focus of the other 12"s. And
then let's not forget about the _Dialogue_ full-length on Output that
collects 3 tracks from "Misnomer" as well as a version of "Calamine" and
some other absolutely beautiful tracks. Buy it on sight. The various
comp appearances range from interesting to sublime. I anxiously await
the Fourtet remix on Sirkus. When is it coming out?
Or maybe I already missed it.
I read somewhere of Fourtet being compared to Alice Coltrane, and while
the sonics are definitely not the same, the approach is. Layer upon
layer in a psychedelic pattern. Kind of like a more mechanical FSOL. Or
something silly like that. And if you couldn't tell, I feel that the
work Fourtet does is some of the most interesting listening I've
experienced the last year or so (next to Spring Heel Jack, Accelera Deck,
and Chessie).
