Datach'i work on We Are Always Well, Thank You is much more cohesive than
rec+play, his first album. If you've heard that, expect more tracks like
Taking Off Your Face and Fried Notes, lots of great drilly beats of natures
resembling at times Alec Empire, Aphex Twin, and for one eight second
passage, Vapourspace, laid sometimes haphazardly under bleepy casionic
melodies and standard 3-bar harmonic progressions. Datach'i's rhythms are
in an easy competition with the harmonic overlays; extra beats are slipped
in everywhere, syncopation and even complete disconnection from the melodies
abounds, and to good effect, conveying a consistent aesthetic with the track
titles and... well, I don't know about his sketchy pixelated album art...
glad he's moved away from the silly sampling which made r+p intolerable for
repeated listening.
