JACK DANGERS - Loudness Clarifies/Electronic Music From Tapelab
imprec042 - Double CD - $14.99
Jack Dangers, founder of the legendary Meat Beat Manifesto, has returned with
his second double album on Important Records. Following the success
of Forbidden Planet Explored, Jack's soundtrack for the legendary
sci-fi film Forbidden Planet, Jack has brought us a brand new Meat
Beat style manifestation and a collection of 10 years worth of his
electro-acoustic musique concrete. Loudness Clarifies/Music From
Tapelab brings forth both sides of Jack Dangers multi-dimensional
audio personality into one single commercial package neatly designed
by Almighty. From the distant, careful, experimentalism found in
Music From Tapelab to the dance floor oriented Loudness Clarifies
we experience Jack as a whole musical entity. While we don't want
to oversimplify Jack's many musical branches, this double cd is
the ultimate example of the depth and bredth of this groundbreaking
and highly influencial electronic artist.
Disc one, titled Loudness Clarifies is a Meat Beat Manifesto style
beats-and-breaks-workout/overhall of the musique concrete material
from disc two. Like a dance party in a classroom, Loudness Clarifies
combines the more academic aspects of Jack Dangers musique concrete
work with the absolute beat of his work in Meat Beat Manifesto.
The result is an exotic, textured deep bass breakout from the king
of dance floor.
Disc two, titled Electronic Music From Tapelab is a collection
of electro-acoustic musique concrete for film, radio and television.
Recorded at Tapelab over the last 10 years. Jack has slowly and
meticulously created these ultra-complex audio collages.
Both records were created in Jack's Tapelab studio where Jack houses,
among other rare and unique electonic instruments, his EMS Synthi
100. Jack’s Synthi 100 is one of the only 29 ever built and
one of the only Synthi’s known to be operational. From the
Synthi 100 this maestro of sound is able to produce elaborate unheard
tones, drones, bleeps and blobs.
