Comment: Ripple is the
nom de plume of Daniel Craig, an Australian producer whose 4-track issue does
embark on with heavy stereo effects and intricate rhythm patterns as if were a
counterpoint to mathematical formulas. The rhythm patterns used to melt into
blobs to lose its angular shape and thereafter re-solidify again into incisive
cadent sequences. Later on, the aforementioned elements will be compounded with
some aquatic, atmospheric and noisy sounds. At times the listener can enjoy
artificial quacks hovering atop altered beats. Because of getting more
multi-layered the result will be changed into fairly playful and amusing. You
can feel a funky essence within it at times. Although it is thoroughly rhythmic
music it is obviously not thought to be presented for playing on dance floors. Although
it can be considered an example of intelligent dance music it does not mean it
is totally a part of the style called with such title because of remarkably
deviating from it. It might sound slightly paradoxically but it seems in this
way. Highly pleasurable.
