Snap Ant - In Dark Three's...
(MP3 podcast on www.parisdjs.com) Snap Ant, 2007-03-11
Info :
Ever heard of Snap Ant?
He plays bass and kalimba with Ninja Tune's UK psychedelic masters Super Numeri, with Pop Levi and Karl Webb from Loka (check their discography). If you haven't heard them yet it's still high time!
Snap Ant also released a very cool sample-free psychedelic pop album, "This Is Jut!" on Invicta Hi-Fi Records in October 2005 (read my review).
He remixed Ladytron and Coldcut.
He started a pop band called Maude, with Lynsey Packman and Linus Jackson (download their free online EP).
With Super Numeri he released in september 2005 a mind-blowing mix, "The Enochian Way", a crazy mash-up of various psychedelic stuff from all ages, one of the best compilations of 2005 (check the tracklist).
When he contacted us with this new 28mn psychedelic mashed-up mix, we were delighted, enthousiastic, jumping around, kinda like kids with a new toy: basically, we're proud to introduce the amazing world of Snap Ant to you today.
Enjoy.

Super Numeri - The Welcome Table
(2xLP/CD) Ninja Tune ZEN97/ZENCD97, 2005-11-28
Info :
Super Numeri est un collectif de Liverpool dirigé par 3 membres fondateurs: Pop Levi, Snap Ant & Karl Webb (ce dernier formant chez Ninja Tune le duo Loka avec Mark Kyriacou). Pop Levi joue des claviers (piano électrique, farfisa), du vibraphone, de la sitar, de la clarinette et des percussions. Karl Webb (Loka) joue de la guitare, du sax soprano, de la viole et du clavier (Digitone). Snap Ant joue de la basse et de la kalimba. Ajoutez-y une farandole d'amis musiciens qui apportent guitare, batteries, percussions, harpe celtique, violons, viole et contrebasse et vous obtenez un groupe de 13 personnes complètement dingue.
Dingue? Oui dingue, frappé, habité, taré, incroyable... en d'autres termes psychédélique! Leurs influences vont en effet de Can à Miles Davis, en passant par Pink Floyd, Tortoise, le Fleetwood Mac de Peter Green ou bien Soft Machine (première époque), et ça s'entend! Prenez le track d'ouverture, par exemple, presque 25 minutes de transe psyché-rock explosive: voilà de la jam instrumentale, du mélange de rock psyché, de free jazz, de post-rock, de folk de l'école de Canterbury (psyché-folk anglais 60's et 70's), comme on en fait plus en Europe depuis une trentaine d'années! Certains objecteront qu'aux États-Unis on peut trouver depuis quelques années un groupe exactement dans le même esprit musical: j'ai nommé Mushroom (à San Francisco), bien sûr, encore plus inconnus que Super Numeri en nos terres ignares. Le parallèle avec la formation américaine est pourtant tellement évident... Daevid Allen avec son University Of Errors ou John Medeski avec Medeski, Martin & Wood (sur scène!) poursuivent eux aussi le même genre de paysages ultra-trippés mais le lien est beaucoup moins immédiat. En tous cas, vous l'aurez compris: on peut considérer la musique de Super Numeri aujourd'hui comme unique. Essentielle, oui, aux amateurs de jazz et de rock très psyché en premier lieu. Les fans de prog-rock pourront passer leur chemin, il ne s'agit pas ici de faire preuve de dextérité extra-terrestre mais surtout d'ouvrir la porte à l'auditeur vers un ailleurs tout en fluides et en gaz, de lui faire vivre une expérience au-delà de son corps, de l'emmener loin... loin... très loin.
Pour résumer l'histoire, disons simplement que la consommation de champis, de champipis, de champignons ne pourrait pas profiter d'une meilleure illustration sonore que celle proposée par cet album, ce CD rempli à ras-bord (78 minutes et quelques), cet Olympe de la musique psychédélique du vingt-et-unième siècle. - Djouls
Super Numeri is a collective from Liverpool directed by 3 founder members: Pop Levi, Snap Ant & Karl Webb (who forms at Tune Ninja the duet Loka with Mark Kyriacou). Pop Levi plays keyboards (electric piano, farfisa), vibraphone, sitar, clarinet and percussions. Karl Webb (Loka)
plays guitar, soprano saxophone, viola and keys (Digitone). Snap Ant plays bass and kalimba. Add there a parade of musician friends who bring guitar, drums, percussions, celtic harp, violins, viola and cello and you get a band of 13 nutcases. Nutcases? Yes nutcases, people who'd been hit on the head, inhabited, crazy, incredible... in other words psychedelic! Their influences go indeed from Can to Miles Davis, while passing by Pink Floyd, Tortoise, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac or Soft Machine (first period), and you can hear it! Take the opening track, for example, almost 25 minutes of psyched-up explosive trance-rock: that's what I call an instrumental jam, a mixture of psychedelic rock, free jazz, post-rock, Canterbury folk, like it hasn't been done in Europe for about thirty years! Some will object that in the United States for a few years already you could find a band in the exact same musical spirit: Mushroom (in San Francisco), of course, who are even more unknowns than Super Numeri on our uncivilized grounds. The parallel with the American formation is yet so obvious... Daevid Allen with its University Of Errors or John Medeski with Medeski, Martin & Wood (on stage!) are on the same scale of over-tripped-out landscapes but the link is much less immediate. Anyway, you'll have understood by yourselves: you can consider music of Super Numeri today as unique. Essential, yes, to jazz and very-psychedelic-rock lovers in the first place. Fans of prog-rock can look somewhere else, it's not a question of extra-terrestrial dexterity here, but especially to open the listener's doors of perception towards an elsewhere all in fluids and gas, to make him live an out-of-body experience, to take him far... far... very far away. In short, let's simply say that the consumption of mush, mushrr, mushrooms could not benefit from a better sound illustration than the one proposed by this album, this CD filled up to the limit (78 minutes and some), this Olympus of psychedelic music of the 20th century. - Djouls

Snap Ant - iThis Is Jut!
(CD) Invicta Hi-Fi LIQ030, 2005-10-10
Review :
Oh my what a strange album. It took me quite a while to get into, maybe because of the first misleading tracks...
Opener "!Jut!" is a melodic dirty analogue thingie, quite a cool introduction to a lo-fi home-produced electro-pop psychedelic album. Then come "Shock Control" and "Function Room", leaning towards current glam-electro-pop hype.
You pass that false-leading introduction, you'll get transported into a marvelous world of wonder, filled with Brazilified-Beatles psychedelia ("Larva Ball"), Beta Band-ish trippy pop ("Berewind"), Super Numeri-esque ethereality ("She Makes All Sense", "Better One In The Hand Than Two In The Bush"), Cornelius-like dreamy electronics ("Savour Piece", "You Make Me Basic"), out-there post-punk by Muppets ("Grumpy Nymph"), with layers and layers of LSD-friendly little sounds ("Inner Red Daze") and Ween-ified alien pop ("Truning Ugly").
Whoa that's one hell of a ride into the mind of Super Numeri's and Ladytron's bass player. Are you ready for this?
