FABRIC 42: ÂME (FABRIC) |
| |
I hesitate to sound generalized, but house can suck or it can absolutely rule. In this case, it absolutely rules. And that's because Ame isn't afraid to veer off onto the road less traveled, to dig into esoteric and experimental records for the putting-together of this mix of mad house minimalism. House is less about melody than mood and that's why Ame's insistence on placing laser beam focus on the textures - with melodic conerns often being almost incidental - results in hypnosis a la house. The personality of dark, Euro-electro shows up wearing house's clothing in this. "Fabric 42" is at its best when weird sounds mingle with the beats in spiked textural arrangements or when quirky speeches or spoken word recordings are utilized as the core of a song's attention. Brooding and brilliant and fun with a nasty gleam in its eye-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
