Search - Laurent Garnier :: Cloud Making Machine

Not your typical Garnier album but great for chilling!

"This is a good album. It is electronica (despite what the previous reviewer said). It's just not the usual fast thumping techno beats we have come to expect from Laurent Garnier. It's more jazzy/blues. Call it chill out sounds - perfect for relaxing after a night out clubbing. My personal favourite tracks are 9.01 - 9:06, Barbiturik Blues, Huis Clos. All beautiful, mournful sounds. The pace quickens a bit (but not much) with the tracks Control the House and Waiting for my plane. To sum up - if it's techno your after do not buy this album (try Bible of Dreams by Juno Reactor - 5 stars). If you're looking for something different albeit experimental then I highly recommend this album. Great for late night listening.

On the otherside of "dance" music is art

"I can understand how someone looking for a banging techno record could be dissapointed, but this doesn't even look like a banging techno record. Also anyone who is a LG fan will know that he is much deeper than your run of the mill EDM artist. This album is a masterpiece, my favorit part of some of the tracks is that they bring in 1 drum, like the begining of a build and then pull back completely. Plastikman fans, IDM fans, Jazz fans and people who enjoy really interesting use of sounds will LOVE this album. (I say this because the previous descrition describes me). Bottom line, not a DANCE record not even a CHILL record, this is beatnick breaks, IDM and spoken word nu jazz (fusion, not lounge) at its absolute FINEST"
