INDICIA - IDENTIFYING MARKS (KANPAI) |
| |
For me, Indicia's remarkably strong trip-hop textures
are mitigated somewhat by the insistence on focusing
on the admittedly beautiful vocals. OK, I have no
problem in principle with vox in my electronica though
I generally prefer it not to have such; sometimes it
blends well, sometimes it detracts from the aspects I
really want to hear. In this case, the acidy melodies
and textures are buried under the singing and I think
the most compelling part of the compositions were
relegated to a secondary status. It isn't as though
this sucks. This is quite well done - if you're
looking for vocal techno. I would much rather have
submerged in the deftly crafted textures of the
non-vocal element but their trippiness was thinned by
the singing. Like I said, if you want vocal techno, I
can highly recommend this. But my own personal tastes
shall seek elsewhere. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn
