Yoko Solo The Beeps review
|
This album clearly sounds like the experimental work of an artist who doesn't try to "sell you" melodies and you will definitely need some time to get into it. The songs are broken, rough, most of the time pretty dark and despite the hip-hop color of the cover, this is mainly electronic music in which Solo injects elements of other styles like jazz, breakbeat & hip-hop. In a way, The Beeps is like an early electronic album, a return to the source, which positions it next to the works of Daft Punk (the "Rollin' & Scratchin'" era), Orbital and Aphex Twin with a light dose of industrial in the Front 242 vein. You really need to be in the mood to listen to The Beeps and I wouldn't play it at a cocktail party, but if you think of music as some kind of abstract art, this CD is for you.
