David Last - Push Pull

the best of 2005 part 1David Last Push Pull
David Last - "Push Pull"
(the Agriculture)

Le disque inclassable de l'année (même s'il date déjà de 2004).
David Last, orginaire du Wisconsin, habite New-York depuis presque 10 ans et se revendique d'influences allant de Sly & Robbie à Kraftwerk, en passant par Stevie Wonder, les albums psychés des Beatles, la musique classique moderne et les bandes originales de films. Tout ceci se mélange abondemment dans son oeuvre, le rapprochant par là des travaux de l'allemand Matthew Herbert, en beaucoup moins discipliné et rigide. Le swing des percussions et batterie est humain, de nombreux instruments aussi divers que variés, aux sonorités principalement issues d'Europe de l'Est et d'Orient, viennent eux aussi ajouter une touche organique à l'ensemble, et David Last n'a plus ensuite qu'à hacher, découper, coller et ré-arranger le tout, un peu à la manière d'un Herbert, donc. Si à priori l'ensemble est hétéroclites, on se rend rapidement compte qu'ne réalité ce disque ne fait que reflêter le monde qui entoure l'artiste: New-York. Il n'y a que là-bas que pouvait émerger un tel alliage de psychedelic broken dancehall/dub & de downbeat electronic funk. Un son nouveau, inédit, à découvrir au plus vite.

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
