Synopsis

Album Description

Follow-up to Red Shift Swing, an album that received massive critical acclaim and showed a totally fresh approach to the art of sampling. Duck-Rabbit follows this course but is to a greater extent born from improvisations during and after concerts, something that has given the album a more extrovert and energetic feel. Rune Grammofon. Digipak. 2001.

CD Reviews

The cd all electronic glitch/IDM fans should hear

M. Davignon | Oakland, CA USA | 10/21/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This disc is a great example that some amazing things were possible but largely overlooked in IDM music. Why these guys aren't every bit as famous as Aphex Twin or Autechre is beyond me, since this music is much more sonically adventurous, and possesses a warmth you rarely hear in electronics.

Start off by imagining the warm cd skipping sounds of Oval, with the instrumental expertise of perhaps Tortoise. Now add some non-standard beats that are constantly shifting around and stopping/starting at unusual times (not 4/4!). Now add abstract computer-synthesized vocals. To clarify, the "vocals" are not made by humans, but synthesized speech programs. Only unlike any case in which you've heard this before, they sing like real living things, leaping and dodging between the other elements, occasionally getting caught up in microloops before continuing.

...and to finish it off, it's all amazingly musical, accessible and immersive to listen to."
