Not what I was expecting.......2005-12-19

Unlike some Kid 606, this is definitely more for "chill-out time" than for "super happy mega dance explosion time". Resilience is pleasantly hypnotic, even pretty at times, but nowhere near as exciting or high-energy as I hoped it would be. If you want something contemplative and subdued, check this out.

Kid 606 delivers a lovingly intimate album, of lush melodies, and reflective moods....!!!.......2005-11-08

Kid 606 has made a career out of being something of a noisenik, creating albums of rapid fire fractured beats and intense rhythms, that battered the listener into submission. And such was his way with being such an accomplished producer, that later albums, although having that volatile and aggressive mix of hardcore techno and experimental sounds, had the occasional 'softer' more inward looking tracks that recalled some of the more subdued moments in acts such as: 'The Orb', 'Orbital' & 'Leftfield'. There was obviously more to Kid 606 than just successive punishing beats, as his "P.S. I Love You" album was indeed a complete turnaround from what he was known for, and instead was a contemplative and slightly detached Ambient Techno, and IDM album that (although dividing his fans), was proof that Kid 606 could produce a stripped down and elegantly textured album, as well as similar artists like "Aphex Twin" & "Squarepusher", who mix up their albums with energetic no-hold beats & soft melodic ambient tracks.

"Resilience" marks another change in the Kid 606 catalogue, and sits somewhere closer to the more downtempo leanings of his more electronica tracks occasionally dotted around his various albums. It's not quite the ambient affair that "P.S. I Love You" was, but rather a collection of tracks that were created in between albums or commissioned tracks. The mood here, is one of warm electronica, mixed with mellow synthesisers, that probably have more in common with 'Post-rock, IDM & Downtempo'. So tracks like "Done with the Scene" take soft synth sounds and mixes them with soft almost pop structures. "Spanish song" isn't really a Spanish referencing song by any means, but it's intergration of almost warm sounding Latino sounds and a more reflective carefree sound with playful sampled sounds moving in and out of the track. "Cascadia" take synth sounds an weaves unhurried melodies, that grow on you. "Sugarcoated" on the other hand uses sounds that take elements of grooves and deep-bass to make for freewheeling electroncia, that never breaks into a sweat. Whilst "I Miss You" seems to have a decidedly exotica-feel and makes inroad towards an almost introspective feel, that is a miles away from 606's usual thundering sounds, and revels in it's almost minimalist ambience.

This is a record that seems to signal Kid 606's shift away from the (admittedly brilliant) Pounding beats that he made his name by, this is a album that shuffles along, without raising the tempo and mixes cute, almost beautiful tracks with synth noises and tinkly melodies. An album that draws very little from his previous work, and instead it suggests a change in attitude from Kid 606, who seems eager to not be pigeonholed into one genre, as this feels like a far more personal album than his previous work, drawing instead on subtle textures of abstract ambience, that although probably won't immediately impress, will grow on you after repeated listens, as it's too reflective and introspective for it to have an immediate effect. its a collection of electronic tracks that are lovingly crafted, and are arguably tracks that you grow into. it also shows a creative maturity in 606's work, and although the Hardcore Techno fans will find nothing in here, that is deserving of their attention, this album is good enough to bring Kid 606 some new fans (and maybe even convert some old ones). And is probaby an indication that Kid 606 is looking to broaden his musical horizons, because if artist's like "Aphex Twin" & "Squarepusher" can knock out Hardcore albums one minute, and then release smooth cerebral ones then next....then why not Kid 606???, and possibly an album that he's always wanted to make, but never had the chance until now. I have to admit that I really, really like this album, sometimes when I get in late, playing music of a moderately high volume, loud instruments or bass-heavy beats is not an option, when you share a flat. So I find that the more relaxed and somber albums get late night spins. And this intimate and melancholy album is definitely one of my favourties, its a soothingly atmospheric album, that although does present many different ideas within each track, or vary much during the course of it, there are all superbly arranged and extremely beautiful sounding one's at that, and is an album that I find that I fequently reach for. And as much as I love Kid 606's fiery hardcore, I would have absolutely no problems, if he decided to focus on more albums like this. Highly recommended!!

Excellent Overview of the Life of Mozart.......2006-12-21

"Life & Works" is an excellent telling of the life of Mozart that primarily uses his letters, the letters of his family and friends, and his excerpts of his music. It is a rich combination that avoids many of the cliches of other biographical pieces (such as not ending with the Requiem)and gives a freshness and vibrancy to his life. The narrator was charming and quite entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed "Life & Works" and recommend it to Mozart lovers and those new to his work!

Prime Property, Fine Album!.......2007-03-16

THE CATZ IN THE HATZ is a difficult CD to classify: it is part nostalgia, part hilarious humor, part terrific scat singing, a lot of really warm crooning, and a showcase for some amazing talent! The only thing that feels missing from this experience is the visual - that is, watching these five gifted men strut their inimitable stuff on a stage. But given a CD format, the other flavors are all here.

The amazing vocal lead of this jazz group is Steve Johnson, a man with talent to burn and a vocal range to compete with any baritone around. He sings with the old style of MEANING all the lyrics and playing with the familiar melodies making them all his own. This is a voice so mellow and so pitch-true that everything else about Johnson's renditions seems like gravy. He traverses the oldies but goodies such as 'My Funny Valentine', 'Lucky So and So', 'One for my Baby', 'Angel Eyes' and an incredible 'It Was a Very Good Year'.

But Steve Johnson is only one fifth of this fine ensemble. Each of the other troupers here is masterful in his own right: Mike Cross (just catch his take on Beethoven's 'Fur Elise' - a real parody and the essence of jazz1), Mike Wiens, Guitar, Steve Boggio, Drums, and Terry Copley, Bass (and the 'strings' are on finely wrought synthesizers).

Sit back and play this fine album repeatedly and re-visit the days of fine music in a respectful, warm jazz beat! It is a must have! Grady Harp, March 07

Product Description

Imagine if you will the missing link between the folktronic Four Tet and high-class scratch artist DJ Shadow. Yup, thats right, this is freeform folkadelica - rendered contemporary by a host of remixers. Pedro is James Rutledge, and this is a remix version of his self-titled debut from last year, which, with its beautiful psychedelic layering of free folk-hop and processed acoustic melodies was like dipping into a whole new planet of sound. Taking a hip hop aesthetic and expanding the range of references to stuff like 20th century classical, jazz, two step and early electronica, this is music that twists and turns on the original beyond mere genre categorisation. Taking the track Fear And Resilience from the debut and dishing it out to his favourite remixers has pushed the music in a more hip-hop direction with experimental blasts, which despite their diversity still seem to capture the distinctive Pedro sound. So you get the warm electronics of To Rococo Rot and Mouse on Mars married to the maverick musical sprawl of Jim ORourke, creating an engaging and rewarding excursion.

another step in the process.......2006-11-10

It's hard to keep track of artists like kid606 aka Miguel Depedro. Before the reviews of his newest album are in, he's busy polishing up a few more "splits" and twelve-inch imports, and he's three-fourths of the way through two more full-lengths. Impressively, the bulk of his prolific output over the last year comes from some of his earliest work, culled from the nether regions of his five year-old hard drive. Of course, anyone can release their half-worked demos and label them "B-sides, for the fans"; that's where Depedro's other major talent comes in. He's able to cohesively build and pimp a radically different sound on each of his releases -- and remain completely solid for every one of them.
True to form, Depedro veers completely away from 2004's hyperactive, bombastic Kill Sound Before Sound Kills You and Who Still Kill Sound?. Resilience is much calmer and less abrasive as far as sound and sample choices, and just plain "warmer" in a global sense (the orchestration, the mix, the mood and the melodies). Perhaps Depedro's open dedication to his mom on the sleeve is a clue to this serene outpouring, something free from the word "pussy" that she can appreciate while sharing a cup of tea with her son at Sunday brunch (after he chucks his crack pipe in the trash) -- but regardless, it's the most listenable collection in the kid606 catalog.

In addition to subverting fan expectations, Depedro still listens only to his own voice, so of course the disc is universally irrelevant. Spinning off and giving the bird to his legendary breakthrough title (Down With the Scene), "Done With the Scene" rolls over a single flabby-yet-endearing Jupiter melody, complex harmonies and arpeggiating Soccer Girl-style bells and chimes following this single line while the passive drum kit rests unobtrusive against these synthetic monoliths. For the finale, he smirkingly drops the drum machine in favor of marching-band snare and cymbals, as the rest of the piece explodes and falls completely out of tune. Maybe his most catchy track to date -- one whose melody will haunt you as you try to fall asleep -- "Spanish Song" employs a glitch-clap and percussive vocal outbursts over hushed classical guitar textures. Lush orchestral string pulses and found-sound conversations in Spanish (something that resembles a discussion over a game of dominoes in the plaza) give the track a unique flavor. The blazing horn leads remind you that one of the pioneers of modern electronica is at the helm.

On "Sugarcoated" Depedro mixes an Eric B & Rakim drum beat and a few flanged-out sound effects with contrapuntal microtonal buzzing and Dr. Dre squeals. He lets these run their course over seven minutes, making subtle alterations to the patterns to keep you satiated while under his trance. However, he reaches his minimalist extreme in "I Miss You", in which he inspires visions of a (robotic) wagon cart trek across the plains. Here, methodical dumbek percussion loops provide a backbone to a dueling Rhodes duet, only spiralling (relatively) out of control toward the end as mild whistling synth patches soar toward the horizon.

Depedro might have written a bit differently for this chapter, but his stamp is still in place. He keeps you guessing, makes you jump when he says jump (or stare at sunsets, in this case) and refuses to make anything safe. After the initial head-scratching period, the results of his efforts reveal themselves to be beautiful. What else can you ask for? Nothing -- because, in case you weren't counting, that's the cake, the icing and the party hat to boot!

Far from digital indie D & B.......2005-10-06

OK, before you buy this CD, I must tell all of the people who are familiar with Kid 606 releases: expect something vastly different . I'd rather donate my liver than make money from selling KID 606's previous releases (especially, "whostillkillsound") Compared to his previous releases, it sounds like KID 606 takes a handful of valium prior to writing these tracks (not in a good way). I understand that he wanted to make this release in a different mindset, but it sounds like Autechre or perhaps Boards of Canada performing songs in a rest home. Much more of an ambient feel to it. Kind of like an Aphex twin track you'd forward through to get to his faster arrangements. I expected at least ONE track to have some faster BPMs. No such luck with this release. If i were to listen to this while driving, i'd fall asleep at the wheel. If you are looking for more of a lounge feel to Miguel's work, buy this CD. I'll give it another listen soon: maybe when i've had too much coffee or something. But as far as i'm concerned, this is a waste of time.

surprisingly great record, was it meant to be this good?.......2005-08-22

initially i bought this for a friend who is a kid606 fiend and lover of all things hard and twisted but in listening to it i liked it so much i had to keep it for myself! as un-kid606 as one could imagine, though listening to this album kind of makes sense to the rest of kid606's output. overall a very cool addition to any discriminating electronic music collection not concerned with the latest fad or trend but just looking for kickass tunes (especially good for summer!)

good suprise.......2005-08-09

great cd. not at all what you would expect from kid 606. this cd has a very mellow vibe to it. alot of it is melody driven, steady rhythmic beats, and downtempo. go buy it.
