Comment:
this 15-notch album is certainly a pure blessing in disguise. Its
"disguised" nature comes out as twofold as a musical
release and as an instance of plunderphonic music (the idea of
employing other artist's music in the way to create something
absolutely new and different). Given that a good plunderphonic album
to be once properly produced it needs much exhaustive work to gather
many fitting samples and sounds from a huge amount of cultural
heritage. Musically the Australian artist Nick Bertke mixes up a
fabulously lofty soundtrack of ennobling melodies and propulsive
rhythms either on iterative manner or progressive mood (the uplifting
cover print feeds also the fantasy of the nature of the release). Of
course, there are up some sort of Japanese impressions in the vein of
Shibuya-kei and atmospheric dance pop similar to the likes of
Fantastic Plastic Machine, and Pizzicato 5. There are up a couple of
tracks that could be added to possible ideal compilation of mine. For
instance,
Data &
Picard, in the refrain
it is repeated the phrase She-eere-Khaan,
She-eere--Kha-aan
in a truly blissful, mind-blowing way. With regard to catchiness the
same can be said about a track entitled
Trumpular (by sampling the
recent president of the United States). The tiny parts constitute a
big whole. Great sound, astonishing issue.
