Free Music Review: Art music barely contained by a smiling straightjacket
Hit: 5 Stars

For all its pretensions to scorched-earth futurism, underground dance music can be an aesthetically conservative subculture(this observation is based on years of experience as a dj/producer). So it's always nice to know that there are cats like Cristian Vogel around, hip to techno's playful energy and rhythmic pragmatism, but willing to push boudaries without letting the elements fall out of orbit completely. A Brit of Chilean descent trained in academic electronic composition, Vogel's work is in the best South American tradition of blending high modernism with pop forms without parody or disrespect of either. These eccentric grooves sound like musique concrete master Francois Bayle breaking into a spontaneous jig while his shocked INA-GRM colleagues spray hot coffee all over a blinking HAL-like mainframe. Which is to say that this album is loads of fun, with tweaked Latinisms bubbling up all over the place and stretchy-straw popping streamlined to ride the shakeshakeshake-a-shakin' grooves on the Paradise Garage to IRCAM express. There's none of the cliched techno/house elements or overworked samples:for once the famous description of techno as "something you've never heard before" rings true. This disc has some of the funkiest avant-garde sounds since electric Miles, and is especially recommended to IDM stiffs skeptical of anything that moves. Thank you, Mr. Vogel, for alleviating my near complete boredom with dance music.

Rescate 137 Poster

Most of what is known as "intelligent dance music" is not unlike the chin-scratchers who adore it: humorless, uninspired, and far from sexy. Chilean-born, U.K.-bred techno DJ Cristian Vogel is an exception to this rule. While he most certainly qualifies as intelligent--Vogel obtained a degree in 20th-century music from the prestigious University of Sussex--and his music can still be challenging to the ear, his records have a wit and verve absent from most experimental techno. Vogel is probably best known for the slew of 12-inches he released on ?ber-snooty German techno label Tresor. Rescate 137 represents his debut full-length for Mute imprint NovaMute; the release finds Vogel striking a balance between his pointy-headed academic music and that which is meant for those bodily regions that fall below the head (read: dance music). The mix begins on a mellow sway and slowly builds to a full-on groove before disintegrating into a perplexing stutter of beats. Vogel has mastered the art of dissonance, though, and therefore knows how to relieve it by bringing everything back to a warm, calm center. Though the mix jumps between the dance floor, the bedroom, and the brain, the CD's finale reminds us what Vogel is all about: experimental weirdness that may not be for every club bunny. --Courtney Reimer
