Free Music Notes for Opera
Free Music Review: solid and underrated
Hit: 5 Stars
don't be deterred by the suzuki comparisons. they are very different albumns. if you want to hear something just like that, then pick up the dub cd (also excellent). or if you are into downtempo just because "everyone" is, then go buy some lemon jelly (not me!).
while this may not be immediately likeable, and does not have the jam of the tracks suzuki and busenfreund, this disk is a solid production and still a good reflection of the deep talent of dorfmeister/huber.
Opera Poster
Tosca's debut ably charts the groovy darkside of blunted trip-hop, with spare hip-hop samples and deep bass lines contributing to tracks like 'Fuck Dub,' 'Worksong', and 'Chocolate Elvis'. This G-Stoned/Studio K7 release comes packaged in digipak.Their band name may be a nod to the duo's previous sample work of classical tunes, but Richard Dorfmeister and Rupert Huber keep things funky on Opera. Spoken-word snippets, disco beats, and the occasional jazzy drum break find themselves on top of the bass-y spine that forms most of Tosca's tunes. But things get really interesting toward Opera's closure. The eight-minute-long "Ambient Emely" sounds like it was lifted from an Atom Egoyan film: Middle Eastern flute eventually gets enveloped in a collage of voices and white noise. That track blends into "Postgirl," in which a chop-shopped series of voices begins to sound like Tuvan throat singers before the beats kick in. It's largely mellow, but there's more than enough experimentation here to keep things interesting. --Jason Verlinde
