Fizzarum - Monochrome Plural - 11-Dec-08 06:14 AM
Very few Russian electronic artists scored a success, Fizzarum did.
It's easy to recognize Ae influence in the album. Obviously lads had been listening to their tracks very carefully and then didn't copy but reinvented Ae style. This album is a jewel and it's very sad that Fizzarum couldn't excel it in further releases.
Filled with basslines, Asian motif (in "Micanex" which perhaps drops a hint at "Rsdio") and hidden logic their music will make you guess a formula to comprehend it which is what you need. Did I say music? It's rather pure math.

For me it is outstanding album primarily because there is much Japanese influence in it. Starting from the track "Passage to Nagoya" where woman's voice in Shinkansen announces: "Thank you for using West Japan Railway Company service. This train is for Shin-Ōsaka Station. On the way this train will stop on Kokura, Hiroshima and Okayama", a feeling comes to you like you're indeed taking a trip through the country enjoying its views. Soft and expressive tracks live in absolute chime. A snowy white digipak is one of best I've ever saw. 100% worth buying.
Plaid - Faster - 21-Oct-07 07:42 AM
Tracks featuring vocal like this one, "Rakimou" and "Cover Me (Plaid Mix)" alarm me into thought that Ed and Andrew repeat degradation of The Chemical Brothers when they came down to pop music inviting vocalists. I tried to shut out such thoughts before listening to "Faster". I had recognised Plaid at very first xylophone sounds and fan's utter bliss immediately followed. Lads, I really appreciate you began to put into practice selling extra tracks on Bleep, because I despaired of ever finding another superb tracks like a TV Noise Track at Greedy Baby live gig with Bob or "Fell" on Japanese release of Double Figure. Thanks for your talents!

For those who've been run clean off his/her feet looking for a sound close to Plaid's. This is the album you need and it's as close to Plaid as you can get. Very interesting and very mild but has no xylophone play which is usual for Andy and Ed. Overall worth buying. The most amazing track is hidden right after 'List'.

Only 1 word is needed to describe this album – smashing! None of the other Reimer's releases can do better. A simple and harmonious sound, beautiful melodies, deliberate concept and a lot of cheerfulness – just as sound of water, music flows into your ears giving a lot of pleasure. One track is especially outstanding – Life Nine Sky – reminds me of Autechre's best times.
