supercollider
"raw digits"
Cristian Vogel and Jamie Lidell
12" brand new (played once)
Without doubt the most striking album to be released for one hell of a long
time, this second full-length collaboration between Cristian Vogel and Jamie
Lidell is a continuation of a space funk odyssey that began several years
ago and looks set to blow up in a blaze of undeniable originality and
inspiration with the release of this malladjusted masterpiece. Having so far
failed to gain the recognition it so fully deserves, Supercollider have
pieced together 9 tracks of the most sumptuous, deep, disturbed, futuristic
and outright funky twisted music that you¹ll ever hear this side of Prince
at his prime. The production itself is truly hard to digest, the kind of
low-end manipulation that goes down, down, down and deeper still, a wobbling
aqua-tinged deliciousness that¹s never been assembled this lovingly,
together with percussion shots that sound cut-up even though they seldom
are. Oh, and the voice. That voice. Lidell is one of those rare creatures
that stretches so much sonic distance into his frame it¹s often hard to
believe that you¹re listening to a human voice. The man is pure soul.
Pure...pure....SOUL. Head straight for in the beams¹ (without doubt the
most played tune in our office for the last 6 weeks) - and understand why
this project is nothing short of visionary. Deep, spacy textures that hover
around a distant echo of Lidell¹s voice..a scatter of lazy percussion...and
then......Crunch! The deepest space hip-hop ballad, echoes of the Neptunes
jamming with Leila in another Galaxy. Just....simply....too....TOO.....GOOD.
Essential.
