dat politics
alphabet series -p-
7 "

the group was formed in 1998 as a 4 piece unit based in lille, northern france. since the beginning dat politics began to opperate in their own musical genre that became over the past years a certain kind of "hyper pop". mixing click-beats with glitch-melodies and sounds, but they sound very unlike most other laptop musicians. it’s all about a mixture between minimalism, electro - pop- acoustic & deconstructed techno, with a very joyful and humorous touch to it.

since their release of this years album "wow twist" the band got even more playful and wonderful than ever. for the tomlab alphabet singles series the found the time to create two brand new and exclusive tunes.

lp version, vastly superior fantastic disc by this japanese duo whom opened for greg & i in tokyo @ star pine’s... i was floored by their set their, and here in the comfort of my own home/studio/record shop their dulcet guitar-laced digital tones are providing the ultimate antidote to the november blahs. perfect...
tomlab press release...
fonica ist a male - female duo from tokyo, japan - keiichi sugimoto and cheason. their debut "ripple" (released as cd version in japan) in november 2002 has been highly acclaimed in their home country and is now published by tomlab in europe and north america. the tomlab version comes as cd/lp with special artwork and a reduced tracklisting. the japan release contains 2 additional tracks - remixes by sogar/12k as well as by mitchell akiyama/raster noton.

fonica use a lot of live instruments and dsp processing in parallel. their approach of combining electronic and acoustic is very spontaneous and is so beautiful, revelling and dreamy in a way that can only be described by using the band mum as a reference. "ripple" works without ressorting to clichees or kitsch and somehow reminds "endless summer" - with sack+blumm waving their hands in the background.

the most wonderful part in all of this: "ripple" doesn't sound like a typical, eclectic, japan style combination of references. fonica have been inspired by quite a couple of things out there but at the same time they have managed to record an album that shows a unique character, verycharming, joyful - a pleasure to listen to.

a small ripple announcing a big wave? definitely a very beautiful start into the springtime - and maybe they will be surfing into an endless summer, too!

the phenomenological boys
melody, melody, melody & more melody

another triumph for the fine feelings of the phenomenological boys! the phenomenological boys toot their horns for the fun of it! no doubt that's a major reason why we all enjoy listening to them so much. their own glowing enthusiasm for boisterous beeps bursts forth in every golden note. in other words, the phenomenological boys are entertaining because they love to entertain. currently the boys are riding a crest of great popularity with some sweet songs that pour out like honey. the boys' melody, melody, melody, melody and more melody should be a runaway best seller for tomlab. for in that collection are several pert and perky tunes bound to become standards overnight!

melody, melody, melody, melody and more melody is the latest project these p-boys recorded in somerville ma, usa and it's a pleasure to observe all those somerville musicians "dig" the boys. all the pros couldn't wait to get back into the studio with the phenom boys and go at it again. small wonder! the phenomenological boys are geniuses in their studios and these discerning people who work with them are the first to recognize and appreciate it.

not only is the phenomenological presence at home in somerville, but the boys can point with pride to their appearances with the famed life partners as featured vocalist and occupant of the first keyboard chair during the summer season of 2002. it was no stretch, as these very big boys blow everything from britney to bach with equal amounts of enthusiasm and skill.

every sound from that remarkable phenomenological viewpoint heralds the enormous versatility of these jubilant compadres. perfectionists who can read an intricate scoring at sight, they also improvise with the best of the swinging ensembles and the cool cats. yet these boys admit to being happiest when they're simply playing pretty for the people- which is exactly what they're doing here.

here again we have the phenoms surrounded by all their original melodic musical cohorts. if it weren't a worn phrase not worthy of their huge talent, we'd say "by popular demand" ... more melody!

and now...?

what is true and what is wrong? a full allstar-orchestra or the reincarnation of marylin monroe as rriot punk girl who is using her computer to pour out like honey one wonderful song after the other? the phenomenological boys keep all their seriousness regardless of their sometimes comical character!

but these songs don't sound really angry or cynical - feminism galore is not the target here. but still, these supersweet songs get you from the back with bittersweet comments and unbelievable i-want-to-sing-along allures. true hits - true subversion!

film music, cool jazz, country and punkrock are cooked together in an ingenious way and it is true pleasure to see with what ease and breathtaking elegance angela is moving from chanteuse to equivocal entertainer and back again. this album is a triumph - and not a quiet one!
