ODD BUT ENJOYABLE.......2007-06-09
MAPA and MAIZ BEING THE OTSTANDING TRACKS....VERY CLEVER ELECTRONICS WITH SLIGHT CLASSICAL INSPIRATION
Truly Disappointing.......2006-12-20
I must admit that previous reviews were an important part of my buying decision. I love minimalist and electronica and a range of music styles. However apart from a couple of tracks this was really not worth it. In this style I expect to be taken on a journey, like a flowing river, even if it meanders. However, this was not even close. Episodic and uninviting is a better description. I was disappointed - live and learn.
One of the most beautiful albums I own..........2006-05-04
Never thought I'd say this about an electronic album - especially considering that I mostly listen to metal, neoprog, and other ecto-whatever - but Murcof's Martes is probably the most beautiful album I own.
In a nutshell, this is organic orchestration wrapped around minimalist electronica.. but it's so densely textured, so well constructed, and so clear and focused that it's just head and shoulders above any other recording that has attempted something similar (that I've heard, anyway).
It's a surreal blend of electronic tones, rhythms, and irregular beats that meld themselves into the aural atmosphere.. clever and unexpected breaks and intervals.. authentic and masterful sampling of violins, pianos, and haunting wordless vocals (all of which were recorded especially for this album by various friends) that add an ethereal layer to the soundscapes.. and excellent use of silence and dynamics. The end result is something that conflicts with itself in what's often a disturbing fashion, but at the same time is extremely soothing and just.. beautiful.
Incredible recording.
Mesmerizing.......2006-01-13
Elements of classical music infused with minimal beats --- and the result is mesmerizing, moody, intimate, and rewording with each new listen. Ture inovation.
Completely essential.......2005-07-23
'Martes' is one of the most original and successful musical experiments you're likely to hear. Any description of it - such as 'glitchy minimal techno meets classical' - is going to make it sound gimmicky and contrived, but it's actually very natural-sounding and genuinely emotional.
I could point to bits of it that sound like Aphex Twin, Cinematic Orchestra, any of Murcof's microhouse contemporaries such as Geeez 'n' Gosh or Andreas Tilliander, even Arvo Pärt or Jan Garbarek. But I won't, because any of that is likely to alienate someone, and all of it gives a false impression of the effect this record has.
You'll have to listen for yourself, but if you're looking for an electronic/acoustic hybrid with sumptuous but refreshingly different textures, subdued yet highly sophisticated drum programming, and an enveloping sense of space, you won't be disappointed with 'Martes'.
