Free Music Notes for Movement in Still Life

Free Music Review: ***Genius Trance Album *** Classic!!
Hit: 5 Stars

BT has always been one of my favorite trance artists. He has done a number of soundtracks including Go and Gone in 60 Seconds, I believe. He has a way of making an album flow effortlessly. Movement in Still Life ventures into the hip hop as well as his amazing trance fare. Songs like Dreaming and Satellite, the latter of which, I believe, is his own vocals. BT seems to have an instinct for making trance with amazing vocals (Kirsty Hawkshaw is just one of the artists he works with...His music and artistry is impeccable. Songs which are all time classics in the world of trance. Love on Haight Street is a funky breaks song. I think if ever you could buy an album to rock out to and also enjoy some dreamy trance, then this would be it. This album is probably a good decade old and I could play it over and over not getting tired. I am always blown away by the way BT (Biran Transeau) can effortlessly make original music. To me this is the perfect example that techno is not just some dumb music. This guy is a musical genius!!

Movement in Still Life Poster

BT's velvety take on trance techno, typified by unusually light, liquidy melodies, smooth edges, and roomy breakbeats, was first noticed in the U.S. via his exceptional remix of Tori Amos's "Blue Skies." That song and other like-minded U.K. singles that preceded it gave rise to yet another variation of trance music dubbed "dream-trance." It's an apt label. BT's dense, yet straightforward compositions and benevolent mixes incorporate themes of escape and rebirth, with songs that imprint themselves on your subconscious. On Movement in Still Life, never before available in the States, BT breaks through the wall that separates techno from out-and-out pop, incorporating verse-chorus-verse song structures. Furthermore, he allows his dreamy mix to wander into Fatboy Slim-esque big beat territory. As a DJ, he's clearly capable of branching into different styles. The smart house and choppy beats of the title track make that apparent. He's still playing with needles and wax on that track, though; "Shame," with its acoustic drum/guitar sound and accessible pop vocal track sounds ready-made for alt-rock radio, with only touches around the edges that betray the presence of a DJ. Other songs, such as "Running Down the Way," blend the two styles more evenly, utilizing a pop song format but keeping it clubby and decidedly nonacoustic. Given BT's U.S. success with the pop/club mix of "Blue Skies," as well as the accessible, anthemic style he tends to favor as a DJ, the record makes perfect stylistic sense. He'd be wise, however, to keep dream-trance close to his turntables, as the perfection of such tracks as "Dreaming" and "Godspeed" make it blissfully obvious that he has utterly mastered the sound. --Matthew Cooke
