Free Music Review: Telepopmusik: Angel Milk (Capitol)
Hit: 5 Stars
(This album will contain a few spoilers on the way, so listen up only if you feel the need.)
You can imagine how mortified I was when I found out that a small amount of reviewers, even on CDNOW, own this album. It got me thinking that no one had owned it as much as any other CD. Let me tell you something. The only reason that you shouldn't need this album is if Royksopp had already given you an electronic fix. If you had read my review for Royksopp's The Understanding, I said I liked "Only This Moment" because it reminds me of a perfect mixture of Ivy and Telepopmusik. I was really ready to get this friggin album and listen to it myself, since none of the reviews I read for it really helped me.
It turns out the anticipation of trying to buy this friggin' album, after countless skips of the album because of either not enough money or other anticipating albums, was well worth it. Where we last left Telepopmusik, they were most known for the song "Breathe", which was considered the only good song on the technicolor album, Genetic World, therefore explaining what happens if you follow the popular band maneuvers of "you know the music, but you don't know us"...and kept the them going on a commercial. And like what happened to Dirty Vegas, most people know the song instead of them, and it cost them their shot at recognition and a shot at a hit album creating jazzy, and mostly dance-oriented album. Now this album has an trip-hop sound thrown in with a little bit of smoky-bar jazz vocals on a few songs. When you listen to this, you will start to think about the view of the city and looking around. It is also one of the most innovative albums, once you pay attention to the music. This album will even help you chill, if you let it. All you have to do is follow the opening instructions: "Sit still and close your eyes". Though I must warn you, "Another Day" is going to really spark your imagination. It is practically an Arts and Crafts project for your brain. Telepopmusik's last two pieces are practically a "fill space here". So you will live out your day as according to the album. From the looks of it, you may need to get it working, otherwise the title wouldn't work as well. Just so no one will call it the worst piece on the album. "15 Minutes" is one of those songs you have to listen to while you are walking or enjoying the day. It is not something you would want to listen to during your minutes of spare time to listen to music. Chances are you woudn't get it. It is not a song played for 15 minutes straight, as much as I like it to be. (You know CDs always are the best ones when they include you into the fun.)
I may have accidentally given away the secrets of the CD, but this is so you will get it easier For those who enjoy music, a bit of jazz thrown in a few songs, trip-hop and Verve//Remixed compilations, this experience of a chillout album is not to be missed...unless you don't like music from the descriptions or you already, as I said, had a fix from Royksopp's eclectic and euphoric record. In fact, Royksopp, to me, is too easy for you. Try this first and then decide. (Both of them will do for you.)
Rating: 9/10
Angel Milk Poster
The French trio of Fabrice Dumont, Stephan Haeri (a.k.a. 2Square), and Christophe Hetier (also known as Antipop), better known as Telepopmusik, release this, their second album. Emi. 2005. No US release until late May 2005!If there were an award for the album with the most appropriate title, surely Telepopmusik's Angel Milk would be a top contender (possibly pipped to the top slot by Metal Machine Music. But this record is miles away from Lou Reed's deliberate atonal noise, and would therefore win any award thanks to its delightful content. Anyone familiar with the template set by Genetic World will be surely chomping at the bit for the goodies on display here. All the familiar elements are in place--the candyfloss-light beats, the grandeur of the orchestral washes, the hints of discordant electronica and clatter--but wrapped up in the most laid-back accessible tunes you could want. The use of three vocalists--the Kelis-like Angela McCluskey, rapper Mau, and new addition Deborah Anderson, whose breathy tones lend an extra sheen to her songs--only adds to the appeal. Comparisons to Air's Moon Safari are inevitable, but a closer relation would be Zero 7's Simple Things. Even then, there's diversion here, like the perfect should-be Bassey showtune of "Love Almighty," or the deceptive ending of "15 Minutes" which lasts that long, but is about a minute of tune, followed by 14 minutes of silence. Indispensable. --Thom Allott
