Mon Corps T’Exprime

(2011, D.I.Y.) France.

Mochelan - Mon Corps T'Exprime

Finally.

Here is some good french hiphop.

I follow, sad, the different french hiphop band these years, and nothing really new comes out (except maybe Jonaz, Non-stop and Fuzati)

And then : Mochelan : here is the magic cocktail : Original production, Terrific voice and strong identity then smart-ass lyrics with a good flow.

Let’s listen to these tracks, after noticing this great artwork (I love combination of à-la-Epinal pictures).

There is two parts on that record : Thèse / Antithèse.

I must admit that I don’t really like the acoustic tracks, but it’s my bad : I listened too young too much The Locust and Hella.

But at least, the voice is more in front in the mix and you’ll better appreciate the quality of his lyrics.

I really love Notre Ville lyrics.

Then come the Antithèse part, electro and that was a big slap in my face.

My favorite track is Ah Ouais (evenif some may think it’s Alors Ouais).

A totally crazy production, crafted by the hands of the fine Listel Drinker, Max Landers.

I don’t say that because Max is a friend/co-worker, but it’s true : these piano riffs flaping in the air : well-done.

The mix is well-done and don’t struggle the voice : a master work.

“On choisit mal sa vie quand on choisit mal son vin” (To save in my punchline stock)

In the same vein : Incidence, Le Futur et Le Plus Barge and their delicatessen lyrics (cf Salvateur Dali).

Fine, Visionnary, We want more !

Rushup Edge

(2007, Rephlex Records) UK.

The Tuss - Rushup Edge

First album for The Tuss.

Let’s start with the main point : Death Fuck Mental Beats is work of art.

As for the rhythmic patterns, as for the synthesizers and innovation : all is absolutely terrific in that song.

You can keep every second and hail to its amazing finale at 4:12.

The other tracks are closest to the first ep tracks.

Let’s start with the catchy Synthacon 9,

In Last Rusp Up 10 F I really love the part at 4:02 and its great synthesizer.

Shiz Ko E is a funky song, fresh and with an interesting evolving.

Rush Up I Bank 12 reminds me a lot of Aphex Twin, and I like how they switch the drumkits and the shutter effects.

The last song is a little bit too ambient for me.

A Must Have Or Die.

Confederation Trough EP

(2007, Rephlex Records) UK.

The Tuss - Confederation Trough

First Ep for The Tuss.

Alors pour l’histoire, The Tuss est, outre un groupe qui sort la même année un Ep et un album avec aucun packaging si ce n’est le même sticker mouton, soit une fraterie, soit un couple, soit Aphex Twin sous l’un de ses multiples pseudos.

I think this album created itself-self.

So we are clearly in the Aphex twin vein.

Alspacka is a great, fresh and harmonic song. The synthesizers are Grand and the mouth noises well-done. I really love the break final at 4:21.

I really love the synthesizer in Fredugolon 6.

The other tracks seem to me undone, like a total experimental sound trip in one take.

Very good !

Invincible Gate Mind Of The Infernal Fire Hell (ep)

(2010, Hydra head Records) USA.

Hayaino Daisuki - The Invincible Gate Mind Of The Infernal Fire Hell

2nd Ep for the fast Hayaino Daisuki (with Discordance Axis members).

I was totally smashed the first time I listened to Ghosts Of Purgatory.

This is a kind of trash/heavy metal, really, really fast and powerful.

You’ll find too fast soli and very harshed, screamed vocals : What else ? A Bentley.

Kirei is really interesting with a feminine voice as crazy as the main singer one.

I love the fast part with the ride cymbal at 2:07 in Shibito.

Finally, the singer spit his guts in the final song Blood.

Superbe.

Rewind ! (ep)

(1999, Rephlex Records) UK.

Cylob - Rewind ! (ep)

As a good fan of Aphex twin, I had a look to his label Rephlex Records.

That’s where I saw, a couple years ago, the videoclip of the amazing Rewind ! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yrA-BpWECI

I love the rhythmic pattern and I appreciate a lot the robot vocals and they even have a flow (like around 2:06).

On the second track, you have the instrumental + Robot acappela all along : perfect for a remix.

Finally, you’ll find a Remix by DMX Krew with a little bit more 8 bit touch.

Excellent !

DJ Diamond - Flight Muzik

I discovered DJ Diamond randomly. Hail to random !

First of all, I was attracted by his terrific artwork (one of my favorite in 2011).

You play the CD and What a slap ! (Uh)

I started being bored with electro music these days and Dj Diamond created his strong identity.

He offers us a kind of micro-sampling and on the top, instead of adding heavy kick/bass (to be in the current trend), he adds some fine glitchy rhythmic patterns (Horns).

Then, he just plays with the sample (like in Speakerz’n'Tonguez or Pop The Trunk)

I really appreciate the Santigold sample in Go Hard.

A Must-have.

I can’t wait to listen to his next record.

Painkiller 7″

(1990, Columbia Records) UK.

Judas Priest - Painkiller

Painkiller is my favorite metal song from all times. Give it a try :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nM__lPTWThU

It was my first guitar teacher, Stéphane Legrand, who played me that terrific song and its two grand solos at 2:10 and at 5:10. I tried hard to play these solos, and I kind of learned them 50%.

These two soli are written by two masters : K.K. Drowning and Glenn Tipton.

Hail them !

In deed, I’m not really into heavy music, but that song is an exception.

Rob Halford performed grand vocals !

A Must Have.
