 Flanger Templates 1x CD NTone |
This is the stuff for us experimental headz. The Templates album
from Flanger is full of intimately packed sparse sounds creating an overall feel between ambient, jazz, electro and full experimental
music. At first, one would think, that either the CD player or the CD is broken and sampling. It's full of little broken repeated sampling
electronic sounds crispering and cnattering through your speakers. Bizarre for sure, but when listening more closely, these effects
add dramatically to the overall intimate feeling of the album. On top of this experimental layer is trippy warm acoustic jazz melodies
of rhodes, guitars, vibraphone. Here and there a subtle vocal inserts. To situate the album, one could say, it's the even more
experimental and wilder version of the Conjoint album that we have
been reviewing here as well. So, a sofa is definitely recommended for your listening experience. The album features 8 tracks and in
real chilly outfit, almost all tracks over 6 minutes in length. This is the album you'll want to hear in its full glory and effect. Not
a single track stands out, it's the overall feel of the album Flanger that must have its full impact on your mind. Excellent food for these
after deephouze party moments ! ez/mar 2000 |
