Christ. "Bike" Benbecula Records, 2007 (BEN525) CD EP 5021449129126 Minerals Series - Limited Release date: 26 October 2007 BUY THIS RELEASE Track Listing 01 Round the Rigg 02 Glenbrook 03 Chopper 04 Cycling Proficiency 05 Gresham Flyer Dreams Highly accessible, to the point and shimmering with brilliance, Christ. lets loose on this "no pressure" EP. Let's have fun! Reviews "Layers and layers of sounds, expertly stitched together, climb atop and gently roll over one another. His graceful cascades of both warm and cool synths envelope into a comfortable atmosphere. He creates another place, an otherworldly existence, and his listeners will never want to leave." Soundsect "Christ. updates things by way of going back to the days before the birth of glitch, re-contextualizing antiquated pop synth sounds among swirls of early-’90s electronic ambience and complex breakbeats ... Bike is nonetheless eminently engaging, and filled with enough melodic hooks to carry its intricacies." Dusted "... a collection of heavily percussive beats, wide open space FX, incidental spoken word passages over the kind of blueprint sounds that made highly melodic electronica of this nature so very popular in the first place. Recommended for fans of all things introspective and digital, in and outside the bedroom." Norman's Records "... five dreamily flowing, densely-detailed tracks teeming with enough jubilant beats, billowing synths, and shimmering melodies to tide your local Boards of Canada fanatic over until Christ.'s next full-length is released. With their blissful synth washes and speaking voice samples, “Glenbrook” and “Gresham Flyer Dreams” closely replicate the BoC template while the other three generally veer off into Christ.'s own lush universe, with the opener “Round the Rigg” especially lovely." Textura "Hype vorbei, Musiker noch da. Das Urmitglied von Boards Of Canada macht fleißig weiter Musik, sucht weiter nach dem Wohlklang, ist weiterhin verliebt in putzige O-Töne von Kindern und Betrunkenen, lässt die Tracks fließen und, ja, mag Elektronika! Keine Revolution, aber Musik, die man gerne haben kann." De:Bug |
