Comment:
this bunch of 12 compositions is a split release being issued by an
intriguing record label, Vaatican Records. Behind the split are
FRONQUE de BONQUE, and BESTSELLER, the both of them delivering 6
compositions. There are many ways of how to approach the whole but I
would prefer to describe generic mood and appearance of it. Given
that the artists' aesthetic is quite similar. First of all, the
release came out in the end of 2009 and my proposition is it happened
to be ahead of its time. By my opinion it's a sort of pop music
though a tricky one. It is filled in with different sorts of broken
beats which in turn are (heavily) imbued with digitalised soul music,
hip-hop glimpses, slightly haphazard breakbeat torrents, oval-shaped
sampledelic art, and even post-dubstep rhythms though the style was
not publicised at that time yet. Furthermore, at
I
Got Your Keys by FRONQUE
de BONQUE one can consider it a weird twist of free jazz. Another
composition which must be heard is
Singapore
by BESTSELLER. Very impressive indeed. However, there are no weak
compositions on it. These 53 minutes are to have passed by very
quickly due to the high rate dynamic flow of exciting bits and beats.
Perfect accomplishment.
