JimmyD--The Instrumental Weekly
Takes all the boundaries normally set in this genre, and shatters them on the ground from the first note.
Product Description
Review by Jim Brenholts at Ambientvisions.comI must preface this review by stating that I love this CD! But, let's get on to more important tasks, like the music! This CD is energetic and atmospheric in the same breath. the album is full of sequenced rhythms and thick atmospheres. David has even added some experimental sounds to accent and offset the theme. That theme is very frentic. It is almost as if David is running to catch up to it. It is something else again. Backing into the theme from the track titles, I heard the frenzy of an erotic encounter of some sort. (That does not necessarily have to mean a sexual encounter.) "Illegal Hands," "Lick Tease,""Undulations," and "Painted Sweetlips" are the track titles that offer double entendres. All of that is very cool because David handles the ordeal with grace, style and charm.He throws us a wink and drags us along on the chase. And the chase never ends! There is no climax and cold showers become the order of the day. And that is not a deterrent. This is a great CD with much going for it. The high energy electronics are energizing and playful. The dense atmospheres are introspective and provocative.The climax turns out to be self-fulfilling and within the self.
