Shy Berliner Stefan Betke has concocted a strikingly sui generis sound around the crackle of a broken Pole-Waldorff filter and disruptive digitized static compressed and set atop bobbing bass lines like clumps of powder afloat in a boundless sea of echo. Betke's music is bonded by gorgeous analogue melodies; light, rattling dance beats; and dub-style undercurrents. This last element is the key to Pole, as Betke approximates the buoyant, bouncy feel of classic dub with digital effects very different from the studio trickery associated with dub's Jamaican progenitors. Only vinyl, where the filter static can be indistinguishable from the subtle disruptions wrought by dust and surface scuffs, does justice to Pole's ingenuity. The original joke is somewhat lost on CD, since those crackles seem like less of an aberration than, say, Oval's terminal glitches. But CD 1 is still vital in any format, Pole's digi-dub a singular and magnificent herald of things to come. --Gil Gershman

5 out of 5 stars An excellent introduction to both the life and the work.......2001-08-10

Not having known very much at all about Chopin, I cannot vouch for the accuracy in the Naxos entry in their CD and cassette Biography series; but I can vouch for the enjoyment (NA 421912) afforded me.

Written and produced by Jeremy Siepmann, this audio-bio not only tells the strange story of Chopin's life but also includes generous examples of his music, drawn from the bottomless pit of Naxos musical CDs. An excellent idea was to use actors for the voices of Chopin (Anton Lesser), George Sand and other females in his life (Elaine Claxton and Karen Archer), and other male acquaintances (Neville Jason). It is the kind of reading that would fascinate even if the work were fictional.

His letters are particularly fascinating, especially as they are read dramatically by the small cast; and one would rather hear about all his faults--physical and psychological--from people who knew him well. Perhaps his strange epistolary relationship with his Titus is dwelt upon a bit too much, but such are the times (then and now).

My only criticism in a negative direction is the length of the musical examples. I do not really think the entire "Revolutionary Etude" had to be played or the entire "Funeral March"; a minute or two with a fadeout would have been fine, especially on repeated hearings where one wants the facts. Nevertheless, highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Dare I say funky, dare I say sexy?!.......2004-02-04

Being a bit of an Oval fan, I was keen to dip the toe in the Pole waters. This is an amazingly funky little click/cut/pop/glitch album. The warm and charming minimalism is a welcome change from some of the more 'middle of the road' glitch style, but it often also has a bit of a 'tongue-in-cheek' approach - tracks 7 to 9 'Fremd', 'Paula' and 'Fliegen' are good examples of this.

This is a great little album to have on in the background, but equally deserves an attentive listen. Like the track 'Do While' on Oval's '94 Diskont' (a current fave CD), these 9 tracks don't waste a moment of their duration. From go to whoa, this is a winner! A must in every 'weird electronica' collection.

4 out of 5 stars dripping water upside down dub.......2002-01-11

Just picked up this disc. As a dub fiend I was intrigued by the description on the cover of the cd.
"CD1 reverses the dimensions of dub by submerging the rythms and allowing his static 'n' hiss to take the lead... The spectral dub emanating from Pole is a giant leap forward for reggae's impurists." -Mixmag
I guess that and have heard Pole's remix of Fauna Flash's "Tel Aviv" track on Compost 100, I like Fauna Flash a lot, gave me the ok to pick up this disc. At first I was like what did I buy? After a while it became very medative, and now I dig it. It is a bit out there but I recommend it. It sounds like a soundtrack to a futuristic abstract space thriller with an elusive plot. If you like this try to get Koss on the fledgling sound of speed label. I dont know how available that one is, I picked it up in Tokyo last spring.
Have Fun and Space Out in a serious way!

5 out of 5 stars Moody, relaxing dub with a twist.......2000-11-13

I have to admit that when I first tried this album at a record store, I did not like it. See, this is not hurried music, and it takes a good listen to understand what Pole is doing. Once I was able to sample it online, then buy a copy and immerse myself in it at home, I realized that this is excellent music.

The first thing you will notice about this album is the "static." Pole's innovative use of a broken filter produces a noise that keeps each track sharp, with fluttery pops and clicks peppered on top of the dub style rhythms. Then you will hear the underlying dub beats that give a solid foundation to what would otherwise be purely experimental sounds. The album is deeply relaxing because of the bass melodies that center on a calm but lively tempo.

If you want some smart electronic music that can be used equally well for serene background music or deep listening, then Pole will not disappoint.

4 out of 5 stars This is not a cd........2000-07-06

Ok, this is not a cd. This is a frustration. I like this cd...I like it a whole lot, in fact. The problem with this album comes when I don't think enough when listening to Pole. If I space out (which comes very easy with this album) I loose it. I have to think very hard in order to bring all the elements together (much as you might be doing with this review) in order to take anything away with me when this album spins in my cd player. It is a musical test. See if you can figure it out...you will not be sorry you did.

5 out of 5 stars it's like exploring a new world.......2000-06-08

The legend behind the sparse, crackly minimalism of Stefan Betke's music as Pole is that one day, he dropped his Waldorf 4 Pole filter, and caused it to create unintentional noise. However, it turned out to be the "sound he was looking for."

Pole's CD1 (or LP1 if you've got the vinyl) is intentionally influenced by Jamaican dub. Yet Pole is unlike any dub, or any music at all, that you've ever heard. Pole creates extremely stark, extremely soothing music built around two important elements. One is the bass, where the dub influence is most apparent. These are beautiful low tones that Lee Perry would be proud of. Two is rhythms based on static (created by his defective filter). There are no drums. Though there are various other musics and sounds that, like dub, come in and out of the mix, it is the combination of the bass and static that give Pole such a unique and relaxing feel.

Though one can classify Pole as minimal, Pole is unlike much minimalist electronic music in that he sets a very enticing, dark mood, and forces it to hold your attention for the entire length of the album. Even though this album can be listened to as background music, subconsciously your mind is aware of Pole, and it affects you. Songs flow into each other, making the 9 tracks feel like one metamorphizing unit. 'Flagen,' the busiest song, is the best example of his static-based rhythms; my personal favorite is the haunting 'Paula.'

Though one could argue that all these songs sound the same, no one could argue that they sound like anyone else. Influenced by dub, Pole merely uses it as a platform, an idea to meld with his own music. While his second release, CD2, has more rhythms akin to traditional dub and therefore may be more accessible, CD1 is world you've never explored. And you should.

          Album Description

          Songs of Grechaninov (BRIDGE 9142), with soprano Georgine Resick accompanied by pianist Warren Jones.

          This disc presents thirty-three songs by the Russian born Aleksandr Grechaninov (1864-1956). The performances (sung in Russian) sample a broad range of Grechaninov's work, from children's songs (Snowflakes) to the Russian National School; and from Impressionist/Symbolist influenced works to songs based on Folk texts. Georgine Resick is a protegée of the late George London. Renowned for her Mozart and Strauss interpretations, she has sung a wide variety of leading roles with the Vienna State Opera, the Chicago Lyric Opera, the Paris Opera, and the Houston Grand Opera. Warren Jones has been the distinguished accompanist for Marilyn Horne, Luciano Pavarotti, Kiri Te Kanawa, Kathleen Battle, and many other leading vocalists of our time.
