Album Description Swayzak return with their fifth album, and the new opus sounds mature and full. What counts is quality, loud showy effects are superfluous. Swayzak have always loved their echo pedal, but in their tenth year of existence, their dub-techno attains a new, compositional dimension. "We're more interested in atmosphere," says Brun. "The album is darker and heavier - a reaction to all that minimal stuff that has become a type of mainstream." Indeed, the pieces on "Some Other Country" aren't just a trip to another country: little worlds unfold. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAnother solid release from Swayzak Steward Willons | Illinois | 04/03/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "It's nice to see Swayzak maintaining such an active output schedule, especially with their consistency of sound and compositional quality. The sound is easily identifiable as Swayzak and yet when compared with their debut album, you can see how their sound has evolved over the years.
The album has a nice mix of microhouse (can we still use that label?) tracks drenched in heavy, atmospheric echo and vocal tracks. "Smile and Receive" isn't quite the classic that "Make Up Your Mind" is, but it's a close second. There's a bit more variety than on their previous "Loops from the Bergerie" and I feel it's altogether stronger. While the music is minimalist, there is a wealth of details that reward repeat listenings. When one is composing electronic music of this style, interesting sounds and ideas are crucial. A seven-minute 4/4 dance tune can easily become tiresome if it's not well conceived. Fortunately, Swayzak continues their tradition of great music that is just as fun to sit and listen to as it is to dance to. Recommended." |
