Tango Crash «Baila Querida» (p) 2008

Можно ввязываться в полемику с ценителями и знатоками, насколько electro-tango (или любое модернизированное танго) имеет отношение к настоящему, так сказать, исконному стилю, можно просто слушать Gotan Project и Bajofondo Tango Club — но пропустить такое явление, как группа Tango Crash, решительно нельзя. Двое музыкантов из Буэнос-Айреса — Мартин Яннаконе и Даниэль Алмада — буквально вгрызаются в ткани этой музыки, коля электронными иголками её живую плоть. Название Tango Crash совершенно точно отражает суть. Это танго, на которое наступили, которое с хрустом крошится на осколки в тисках техно-глитча и рубящего наотмашь джаза, но всё равно живет и, пожалуй что, побеждает.

In eager anticipation of my 75.000th track, I just had to look back on my time here on last.fm... I never thought I would stay here for almost three years, nor did I ever expect to find such great music and friends (you know who you are).

So I'll be posting my '100 tracks everyone should know'. Some mainstream, some a little harder to find (If you need help or more info, let me know). I don't think I have to tell you this is all just my personal opinion ;)

A lot of these I got to know through Last.fm and the friends here, so thanks everybody.

Greetz, Kenneth

Spacious but far from sparse, "Fear of the Forest" is the second album from Brooklyn musician Gabriel Cyr under his Teleseen moniker. Operating at the meeting point between electronic music, dub and reggae, Cyr's second release tries hard to distance itself from the generic dubstep ghetto, and almost succeeds. While most mainstream dub-flavoured electronica doesn’t do it for me, I am not impervious to the style itself, or the work of those who operate at its edges and embrace ideas rather than aesthetics, as Cyr does here, but not always with success.

In places, this album makes clever, sparing use of vocalists, combining them with ear-catching percussive elements, worldly samples and lots of echo. Songs such as "Crown" and "Black Monday" are particularly good examples of how to integrate vocalists into a deep and dubby music. However "Chikurubi" feels tired and jaded with its boring, unnecessary rap, and "Factions" doesn't work for the exact reasons why "Black Monday" does: the vocals are far from subtle, and feel tacked on. "Wind Unification" sounds like Gotan Project gone dubby until things take a distinctly weird turn two thirds of the way in, which makes it the highlight of the album for me. Lots to like on “Fear of the Forest”, but unfortunately, quite a bit not to like. Perhaps Cyr was trying to please too many people. My suggestion: drop the rappers.
