Christian Marclay's name should be well known to any connoisseur of experimental music. Although his use of the turntable as an instrument started in the late '70s--around the same time as the rise to prominence of the pioneer hip-hop DJs--Marclay has always seemed much more rooted in the mid-century development of "musique concrète," which is created by manipulating pre-existing sound sources (as opposed to electronic music, which is created with synthesizers). Yoshihide Otomo followed a similar path, starting with a youthful hobby of building electronic sound-generating devices and making tape collages. He then immersed himself in free jazz and experimental rock, becoming best known in the '90s through his group Ground Zero. On Moving Parts, the two create an intense, noisy tapestry of sound, encompassing a wide range of sources--from the baroque-sounding flute and harpsichord snippet that opens the CD to squalls of Hendrix-flavored guitar, opera, flamenco, movie soundtrack music, purely electronic sound, and so on. Marclay firmly favors the analog, intentionally letting his records get scratched and even gluing pieces of vinyl together, while Yoshihide employs mainly digital methods. The combination helps keep the sound from getting homogenous. Unlike a lot of the people identified with turntablist world, they never go for laughs with sharply contrasting stylistic juxtapositions or the ironic use of spoken-word records. Sometimes the source materials are pummeled and entirely reshaped, and other times a melodic quotation will stand out untreated; the results are at times reminiscent of Stockhausen's "Hymnen" or Eric Salzman's "Nude Paper Sermon." --Bob Bannister

Product Description

Known for his tenure performing as Pedro the Lion, songwriter David Bazan has retired the band name to continue making music under his own name. "FEWER MOVING PARTS" finds Bazan going back to his creative roots by performing and recording everything himself in his home studio. But Bazan has expanded his sonic canvas. His signature songwriting, voice, and melodies are framed in layered harmonies, multi-tracked guitars, analog keyboards, and intricate production he was never able to fully realize with Pedro The Lion. The EP includes two different versions of five new Bazan songs. One version will be stripped down acoustic and another version will have full-instrumentation. Acclaimed graphic novelist, Zak Sally created new original artwork for the EP. "FEWER MOVING PARTS" is David Bazan's finest work to date. www.davidbazan.com

Bazan Delivers.......2007-06-27

My biggest complaint with this album is that there are only five songs on it. EP's from great artists always leaves us wanting more. Here Bazan manages to take an EP and give us our money's worth. There are only five songs, but two versions of each one. His EP ends up timing out to longer than many artist's entire albums, and the songs are brilliant. The production value is a step down from his earlier work, especially Pedro the Lion's Achilles Heal which had true studio quality. While some of the songs seem like early sketches (such as Cold Beer and Cigarettes/The Devil Is Beating His Wife which sounds much more determined ina live youtube video) they are obviously amazing lyrical and musical achievements. Over the past few years Bazan has been able to develop his minimalistic approach to an increasingly musically sophisticated talent. With Fewer Moving Parts we find Bazan able to write tunes with complex chord structures that sound as accessible and natural and his earliest recordings. As usual his tunes ring perfect for a lyrical presence nearly unmatched in modern music... But mostly this album just leaves us waiting for the LP that follows.

I'll keep it simple. This is David Bazan's best work. If you liked either Pedro the Lion or Headphones, buy this. You will not be disappointed.

Pretty good stuff, but a little pricey.......2006-08-13

Once again David Bazan gives us another great album. There is no doubt that he deserves his recent mention in the Past Magazine Top 100 living songwriters; that being said I am a little frustrated with this album. Don't get me wrong, the music is very good, and the lyrics are what any long time fan would expect. (They are a bit dark, and he does seem a bit jaded, but i hope that he is just venting and not jaded.) My problem is the price; $12 for five songs. Yes, he does them all twice, but that seems a little pricey for five songs. Still this is a great album.

Pieces are moving........2006-08-12

Dave's back to work on this EP. A very different approach to recording than he has used on any other record. Dave recorded everything so the arrangements are more complex. If you don't break into a smile when the synth parts come in on Selling Advertising and How I Remember you must not have any teeth. It's good. Really good. Buy it.

A myriad of unpleasant sounds and pleasure.......2003-01-25

Unpleasant, as I believe there is a dentist drill in the mix, but only on the greatest and final track, as that track goes from a loud piercing drill to a light buzzed silence with operatic voices quietly singing in the background. This is experimental, nothing to be played at parties, unless the group is understanding of the genre, Avant Garde. The whole CD is a mix of record stratches with hints of sound effects records or other bits, along with the electronic sounds yoshihide produces. Although, each track is different, in different taste. For instance, track two, derailment, is nothing but pops and skips of the record.

Buy this to broaden your horizons when it comes to listening to music. It will bring an occasional enjoyous listen, but most will find the "lack-of-a-beat" distasteful and offensive.

Great CD....A must have!.......2000-12-27

This is one of the best cds that I have heard lately. This is a great band from the Pittsburgh Pa. area, that is up and coming and is sure to hit national success soon. This cd is also an enhanced cd that contains a music video for a song from a previous album, and a live video as well. it also contains interview footage with the band, and even has a video game as well.

Great power pop rock! Hear this band now!.......2000-11-29

Ashes To Ashes is a great band from Pittsburgh, PA that will soon be seen on a major label! Get this disc now and it will soon be a collector's item. It's great power pop type hard rock, cool production and fantastic songs you'll sing for a long time to come. For music lovers for sure. You won't be disappointed, and they have more CDs available if you like this one. Best tracks are DARKSIDE, MAYBE YOU KILL, & BECOME.

Album Description

"Moving Parts" is sixteen pieces of crystal clear all-instrumental music. The songs range from the romantic "Companionship" to the hard-driving "Run for the Border!" It's over an hour of music, great to listen to while driving, working, or just thinking. This music is highlighted by full symphonic orchestration, rich harmonies, and bright rhythms.
