Smash
(2005, Warp Records) France.
Here is the first album by Jackson And His Computer Band, One of the only french Warp’s signature.
I remember that jako made me listen to Arpeggio and Jackson music was so surprizing with all these wide reverb and samples layers. I love the part at 2:42.
What a beautiful mother’s day gift : Rock On is one of my favorite song in this record. The synthesizers at 2:21 are genius.
Tropical Metal is really interesting : I love the melody and I like how he adds layers of piano. It reminds me of the japanese band Deceptikon.
The part at 2:09 in Teen Beat Ocean is terrific.
Finally Headache won’t give you some : When the rhythmic part arrives at 0:36, the party starts.
There is three songs not in my top 5 that I love : first, Minidoux, really simple but with awesome harmonies.
There is too TV Dogs (Cathodica’s Letter) with a featuring with Mike Ladd, who did great with Grand Pianoramax.
I like the beginning of Fast Life.
Jackson deserve his Warp deal : A Must Have.
We want more !
