o yes...i mean:: :!: OOoooaawwooaahhhh YYEESS!! :!:
long awaited, much anticipated (by me anyway) - the new album from Talpa on Sundance records. Anyone who knows this label knows they release some of the most forward moving, future proofed, melodic, funky, musical, and downright far out psychedelic music around. and we love them for it
as always the cover art is spot on - deeply layered and textured, and o my god i almost fell into it!!
the order of the day is extremely full on and mutated music, with all sorts of psychedelic goodies hovering around yer tunes which are, basically, RINSING (as in not mincing).
We start with a tribal beaty workout, gently setting the stage as one full of shenanigan potential, and lots of uv naughtiness. From here on in we have track after track of epic, and I mean _transcendentally Super-Epic, tunage. the whole album is loosely centered around Talpa picking up every cell in our body, and juggling them into a new arrangement that is them travelling at about (c - 1) miles an hour to his rip-roaring beats and soaringly epic trans-epic epic--ness. the sheer scale of some of the riffs can't possibly be communicated in words - they're the sort of noises that can only be comprehended by flailing one's arms around in a close approximation of: "throwing four dimensional shapes in the church of dance". there are so many hidden drops and stuttered beats that phase in and out, and moments when you're not quite sure what's going to happen at all as we're lost in the swirling barrage of effects and atmoshperes and cheeky gremlins and other assorted audio entities like classical pieces and otherworldly voices and then - o yes - there's the beat again - sneaked up behind you and bounced you onto the ceiling before you know what's happened.
f'kin brilliant. music is alive. ALIVE I TELL YOU
