my review from last year:
scanner "lauwarm instrumentals" sulphur
on "lauwarm instrumentals" robin rimbaud has almost totally
stopped using scanned mobile phone conversations in his music. the
result is to the music's advantage, it gives it more focus. and
scanner har really grown as a musician on this album. not content to
be pigeonholed as an industrial ambient an techno musician, he draws
heavily on influences of modern classical music - do i hear steve
reich influences on the first track? the stunning "lithia water"
contains classical strings, howling guitars and massively phat dark
breakbeats. the way scanner on the symphonical "vertical line" puts a
very slow rhythmical bassline, to mix different musical genres,
evokes strong emotions in the listener and make the album the triumph
it is.
btw, that reminds me, i must review that scanner/djspooky cd...
