Alif Tree - Clockwork [2009]

Alif Tree - Clockwork [2009]

There was a persistent, smoky jazz flavor that weaved its way throughout Alif Tree’s “French Cuisine”. Vinyl crackles, dusty instrumentation and vocals from classic jazz singers like Nina Simone and Shirley Horn were a strong component to the sound. Along with the jazz influences there were French and Latin touches as well and the whole thing finished off with a near fifteen minute ambient epic that really resulted in two tracks with a long moment of silence in between each. For his new album, imagine Alif has spent some time watching seasons of The Soprano’s and discovering a more vibrant, trip hop influenced personality to his taste in jazz.

Just as with French Cuisine, this new album Clockwork explores a variety of jazz, blues and acoustic folk influenced phases. And as with that previous album, this one ends with an epic 27 minute long experiment. Of course when you don’t count all the dead air, it’s really two tracks that equal little more than seven minutes in all. While the first is a somber piano piece backed by double bass and brushed snare, the second part easily qualifies as a sound experimentation.

“Mai” is one of the strongest tracks here. Its smoky French lyrics are sung by Emilie Satt and it’s the kind of sound that famed compilation series like Hotel Costes built their name on. If you still can’t get over the sound of that Soprano’s theme song, you’ll love the gravely sound of “Way Down South”. “Reality” and “Without Her(th)” are both wonderful trip hop oriented tracks. You’ll find some really nice surprises on the other songs as well, so give it a full listen before deciding what you think.

SHAPESHIFTER

SHAPESHIFTER

Experimental live drum'n'bass/electronica group Shapeshifter were formed in 1999 by four young New Zealanders with a hunger to bring their love for electronic dance music to the stage. The band spent its first year touring with groups such as Salmonella Dub and Pitch Black, building up a large grassroots fan base. Shapeshifter's high-energy live performances and eclectic mix of influences generated significant buzz in the underground music scene, ultimately attracting label attention. Virgin/EMI tested the waters with the group's debut D.N.A. EP, shortly followed by their first full-length recording, Realtime. Shapeshifter were showered with awards, heralded as New Zealand's "Best New Act" and their record as the country's "Best Electronic Release." The band was now headlining the nation's largest venues to sold-out audiences. In 2002 Shapeshifter relocated to Melbourne in hopes of tapping into a larger market. Shapeshifter spent much of 2002 touring Australia, shifting gears in 2003 to writing and producing their sophomore release, Styles. Following the album's release, the group took on former guest vocalist Paora "P Digsss" Apera as a permanent addition. Shapeshifter established Truetone Records in 2004 for the release of their third studio album, Riddim Wise. The record quickly achieved gold status in the group's native New Zealand, only the second drum'n'bass album of all time to reach such heights. The band's fourth record, Soulstice, was released in 2006 to much critical acclaim. (AllMusic)

Drip - Identity Theft [2008]

Drip - Identity Theft [2008]

Drip is a trip hop band from Manila.It's the classic trip hop set-up: three quiet guys in the background to tweak knobs and play instruments, with a hot female vocalist to enthrall the audience with her voice. But Drip goes beyond mere trip-hop band cliches: they are meta-glamorous, a little dark, and seductively experimental. “Capable of giving you simulated bliss,” wrote the Manila Times about the quartet.

Tracklist:

01. Fallen
02. Kindergarten Romance
03. Run to Follow
04. In Between Remix
05. Bloodletting
06. Swanker
07. Faultless
08. Blind
09. Is Anybody Listening?
10. Identity Theft
11. Morning After
12. Turning Gray
