First art melody to us was Parallaxe as when we hear it we know exactly the athmosphere we are experiencing, somekind of dry deadly desert.
The power of art melodies is that sometimes they just do not need the visual footage for their music because the sounds they make are almost organic, and that brings images to the ming with no doubt.
Less talky talky more melodies:
In our magazine we value this kind of art, and would love art melodies to make the soundtrack of our next hypothetical movie we promise.
It all started after knowing Romain Poucet who came to us with beautiful music: Employee Of The Year.
A little link took us to a playlist of heavy, fat but still sharp so called "slow french".
French duo Romain Poucet and Ed Supercommodore brought another way to work. We sense some mature stuff comming, and we would love to hear more music like One and Only.
The Parisian duo show where they come from and where they are going. With a few remixes like Wild Belle or Brandy they give another life to titles.
The result of the Never Say Never rework is just stunning and that shows us the difference between remix and reshit.
The group has given us a little empty period after the tron legacy thing.
Some were thinking about a dead group, and some just abandonned after the tron thing, thinking that the level has gone down for good.
But hey, the two Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo wanted to shut some mouths with Columbia.
This little proof is what we got, and we now wait for something with the high level we were used to, hoping that Columbia which you can see the logo at the bottom right corner will not change the nature of this French Science.
We wanted to share with you what we think about this delightful album by french electronic artist Jean-Baptiste de Laubier A.K.A PARA ONE.
By Marco DOS SANTOS
The Epiphanie album is the best electronic music album of all times.With the years we found that it is the most complete and diverse set of electronic music that has ever been made. Going through all emotions, all kinds of beats, from the most dirty to the most holy of them.
14 tracks for 14 sensations, 14 genres, 14 ways to see it, 14 ways to do it.
Since June 2006 we have failed to find something that has this level of completion. We got an album where each track is a world, where each sound has it's utility, and where the sound itself is produced with maestria with the precision of a diamond cutter. This album is the "DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" of electronic music.
As you go through the tracks you can witness the beauty of a DJ that does not have only one soul, but several.
The choice of the names of the tracks is to us as perfect as the music behing them.
As a movie director Jean Baptiste De Laubier has his touch, and his way to reproduce an athmosphere or part of it.
The example we love is midnight swim. For we have been dreaming since then of having a midnight swim while listenning to this stunning track. Besides the will to do whats on the name of the track, the darkness and the calm beat that are backed up by vocals from nowhere tell you what to do: Listen again and more, and ask for more of that taste, more of that sound, more of that universe at 4:03.
This article is made to put this album on the pedestal it deserves. Para One has chown himself to the world as the master of french electronic music.
Here is are our selection of tracks on the go and go get the album you fools!
Midnight Swim:
F.U.D.G.E:
To the French Electronic Mozart, To the machine Liszt, to the Beat Beethoven, to another kind of Philip Glass Thank you.
Ces derniers jours nous avons beaucoup été confrontés à l'image de la fouine.
Pas que nous nous y intéressons pas, mais on doit à chaque fois aller faire les courses...
Avec les récents évènements nous avons pu voir la fouine partout et en HD, et voila que notre regard est attiré par le sourire blanc immaculé "Out of the box" de la fouine. Et là débat passionné au sein de l'équipe, les uns de jurer qu'il a un dentier et les autres de soutenir l’hypothèse des simples rénovations.
Bref le rongeur a un sourire qui ne nous laisse pas sans réfléchir. surtout dans la manière dont sa lèvre supérieure se retrousse lorsqu'il sourit et ça nous rappelle un peu ça:
After a little while we harvested for you.
After some days we listened and tasted.
After being welcomed by japanese artists.
After enjoying the japanese electronic taste.
Here it is only for you!
Our selection, our love, our guts, our feelings,
Are here for you ears!
Thanks to the following cities : Fukuoka - Osaka - Kyoto - Hiroshima - Tokyo - Nagasaki - KOBE - Tochigi - Shiba - Shiga - Amagasaki. With love!
And when we watched we realised that music still has a chance of reaching a certain level of sofistication, and of symbolic assemblage.
The boys from EDM with this smart melange of french and brit bits are creating a new world, actually they created a place in which they can communicate in their way, and in which their language stands for biblic words.
The artwork by Photographer Edouard Plongeon is certainly doing a lot for this clip, for the graphic world is set and the visual job has been conducted to perfection.
