Pitchfork Review
Fluctuat Review

[Review]The Mole - As High As The Sky

'As High As The Sky' (Wagon Repair) from canadian dj/producer The Mole is a great debut album :

I really can’t enthuse about this record enough. It’s a diverse house album with quality tunes throughout, and also manages to approach the dance music holy grail: you can actually listen to it start to finish without reaching for the skip button. All in all, it kind of makes you glad that Tyger and Danuel got their studio robbed. Sorry, guys.

(Resident Advisor)

As High as the Sky rarely falters or stalls, moving seamlessly from awfully danceable to quite danceable and back again. This structure, though, does seem to stunt some inter-track growth: songs, while not formally mixed, often arrive fully formed and vary minimally throughout long runtimes. The clever emotional tricks-- "hey wait...awww yeah"-- he pulls during "Ain't the Way" disappear somewhat as the album rounds into full swing. But As High as the Sky does find a sixth gear, peaking with its final four tracks, right down to the lock-the-doors-club's closed breakbeat-isms of "When It Tastes So Good You Deserve It", which sounds like Prefuse 73, exhausted and drooping. It is a conflagration of the vaguely familiar-- trite phrases, muscle-memory guitars, rumbling bass sequences-- that de la Plante guides to enviable heights.

(Pitchfork)

As high as the sky' weaves super fresh techno and house production techniques into a selection of funked licks and cosmic disco vibes to blur the edges into a beautifully effective floor working set that references Theo Parrish, Moodymann, Beppe Loda, Larry Levan, Ron Hardy and all those other geniuses of the floor but enhances the whole lot with some subtle treatments for a devastating effect. A very highly recommended double pack of juicy discoid goodness.

(Boomkat)

Tracklist:

01 "Intro"
02 "Still In The Corner"
03 "Ain’t The Way It’s Supposed To Be"
04 "Alice, You Need Him"
05 "Hey Girl (I Feel So Good)"
06 "Baby You’re The One"
07 "Gracias A Los Ninos"
08 "Like The Way"
09 "Smiling And Running"
10 "Knock Twice"
11 "When It Tastes So Good You Deserve It"

[Review]M83 Saturdays=Youth

Nouvel album de M83 "Saturdays=Youth" dont on avait déjà parlé ici.

(Pitchfork : "Saturdays=Youth meaningfully diversifies M83's catalog while retaining Gonzalez's indelible fingerprint")

(Liabiliy Webzine : "Si les influences de Gonzalez sont connues - ses guitares doivent beaucoup à Kevin Shields, ses ambiances à Brian Eno -, il les met ici au service de chansons nettement plus pop qu'auparavant, sur un album à l'ambition mieux maîtrisée.")

(M-La-Music : "Toutes ces influences digérées en dix ans, et son talent en guise de plus value, font de cette collection de touches personnelles un album authentique, gracieux et lumineux.")

(XSilence : "[...]le français nous sort tout de même quelques morceaux de bravoure, puissants sans être pompiers ("You, Appearing" qui ouvre le disque, l'hommage fidèle et réussi aux eighties qu'est "Skin Of The Night", ou encore le grandiose et technoïde "Couleurs", ainsi que "We Own The Sky" et "Too Late", littéralement lunaires.")

(Allmusic : "As super-stylized as its sounds and emotions are, Saturdays=Youth always seems genuine, even when it feels like its songs are made from the memories of other songs." )

Tracklisting :

1."You, Appearing"
2."Kim & Jessie"
3."Skin of the Night"
4."Graveyard Girl"
5."Couleurs"
6."Up!"
7."We Own the Sky"
8."Highway of Endless Dreams"
9."Too Late"
10."Dark Moves of Love"
11."Midnight Souls Still Remain"
12."Until the Night Is Over"

Meet The Eels

Pas vraiment notre sujet habituel, mais je tiens a faire de la pub pour la sortie d'une double-double compilation rétrospective de Eels, le fameux groupe tournant autour de la personnalité alambiqué de son fondateur : Mark Oliver Everett (aka E).
La première compilation "Meet The Eels Essential Eels Vol.1 1996 - 2006", classique, permet de (re)découvrir tous les titres indispensable depuis "Novocaine For The Soul" à "Troubles With Dreams" en passant par "Mr. E's Beautiful Blues".Accompagné des 12 vidéos du groupe, l'ensemble forme plus qu'une bonne introduction a l'univers de cette formation originaire de Los Angeles.

Disc: 1 01 novocaine for the soul 02 susan's house 03 my beloved monster 04 your lucky day in hell 05 3 speed 06 last stop: this town 07 climbing to the moon (jon brion remix)* 08 flyswatter 09 i like birds 10 mr.

DISC 1: 01 novocaine for the soul (live from hell) 02 fucker 03 my beloved monster (live from tennessee) 04 dog's life 05 susan's apartment 06 manchester girl (BBC) 07 flower (BBC) 08 my beloved mad monster party (BBC) 09 animal 10 stepmother 11 everything's gonna be cool this christmas 12 your lucky day in hell (michael simpson remix)* 13 altar boy 14 novocaine for the soul (moog cookbook remix) 15 if i was your girlfriend (live) (previously unreleased) 16 bad news 17 funeral parlor 18 hospital food (BBC) 19 open the door (BBC) 20 birdgirl on a cell phone 21 vice president fruitley 22 my beloved monstrosity 23 dark end of the street (live) * 24 the cheater's guide to your heart (live) * 25 useless trinkets* DISC 2: 01 mr.
