Starkid - Apricot - 22-May-04 07:35 AM
Blake Jerrell, a New Orleans based producer and England's own, Starkid [appropriately named, he's just 18 years old] collaborate on "Apricot". A track which has already been canned by Digweed and Nick Warren. [Digweed couldnt track down a copy of the song, so he went so far as to press a vinyl for himself off an mp3.]
The original mix is great little gem, melodic waves travel through the thick percussive beats. This track really builds quickly on the ethereal atmosphere creating a smooth ride from start to finish.
While the original track is soft and airy, Momu really hammers things home with a faster, heavier remix, "With Cream". Rolling snare hits build into a tremendous breakdown as the mix culminates to climax. I prefer this remix to the original as it has a much nicer flow and build, with an lovely breakdown.
All in all a very solid release in an ever evolving genre of Breakbeats, or as Momu calls it "atmospheric breaks".
Daft Punk - Interstella 5555: The 5tory Of The 5ecret 5tar 5ystem - 21-May-04 03:05 PM
Absolutely brilliant. This "House Musical" fuses the talents of legendary manga artist Leiji Matsumoto with one of the most inovatitve groups in music, Daft Punk.
The animation is fantastic, pulsing with vivid colours and imagery. Matsumoto's [the mastermind behind "Battleship Yamato" and "Captain Harlock"] world truly comes alive in a way no other animated piece ever has. Daft Punk has alot to do with this. The movie is set to pace with the Punk's "Discovery" release.
The story is fairly straight forward, Evil record executive steals an alien rock quartet and repackages them for Earth to make loads of money. Insert a starship pilot [ad devoted fan] to rescue the group and you've got a basic anime plot!
While the plot really isnt THAT important, the music and animation more than make up for the movie [which has no dialog]. If you're into anime, manga or the Daft duo you'll enjoy this movie immensely.
