Don't DJ – Musique Acephale

it's hard to believe that this record only came out in 2016. truly wonderful stuff that feels like it could be from any point in time. listen to it!!

Beautiful music with beautiful cover. A true gem in my collection.

Could be my Album of the Year: dense polyrhythms woven into mesmerising, pulsating electronic tracks. Stunning sound-design. Pornoire and Polyamory are the obvious highlights but every other track is a masterpiece too...

This deserves to be carved somewhere in the sky:

For his part, Meyer isn't keen to describe Musique Acephale's sound or style. "The worst thing artists can do is to talk about their work," he says. "This way the recipient will bring the artist's hypothesis of what to expect to the encounter like coloured glasses."

He adds: "Hence the recipient will most likely perceive the work similar to the poor way the artist suggested. This is the worst outcome one could wish for, as the genuine potential of any artwork is to yield an encounter between a life and something that has not yet an interpretation within that life. Each of these encounters holds the potential to generate fundamentally new insights. The artists who send out interpretations of their work beforehand steal this potential from the work, and doom it to reproduce their pathetic misconceptions."
