Comment: these 20 minutes are
as diversified and manifold as the chart of the Balkan peninsula used
to be in front of our eyes at the globe. Indeed, in English the word
"balkanization" refers to something hostile and excessively
divided. In the context of this issue the meaning of the word would
be exploited positively. It is based on samples being either adjusted
with each other or superimposed upon. Musically it contains mainly
the vivid rhythms of Gypsy music though one can hear Slavic languages
and hints at them either. Indeed, the outing is not arbitrarily
lopsided. There are also represented spoken word snippets in English
and...ABBA additionally. Those light-hearted upper layers and
predominant motifs are backed up by thudding basses beneath. In a
nutshell, the artist gets right to create a carnival-alike milieu
throughout the course. By kindred souls it reminds me of a little bit
Russian projects Messer Chups, and Messer Für Frau Müller by its
exuberant madness. By artistic side the inspiration for LeNoir were the poetry of Igor Dithyrambescu and the surreal interpretations of Tizian paintings by Anushka Hamedalidbegovic. The issue is a part of the discography of WM
Recordings.
