I have heard about five Plug Research cds over the last couple of years-and
this is the best one yet. Headset is a collaboration between Plug Research owner Allen Avanessian and Jimmy Tamborello (Dntel-Postal Service). There are also many special guests on this cd including Shadow Huntaz, Daedelus, Beans, John Tejada, Subtitle, Nobody and Thomas Fehlmann. What a varied crew! "Spacesettings"mainly mixes experimental electronica with rap. There are also excursions into free jazz and film soundtrack music.Sounds like it could be a mess-but the cd works
quite well.
"Back Before" mixes a simple electronic backing with a rap by the Shadow
Huntaz.The syth line is quite fine."Grasping Claw (The Beginning) is a nice
electronic instrumental.There is little rap in the middle of this one-but it's mostly about the instruments.My favorite cut was the next song "Grasping Claw"-a different song than the other cut mentioned earlier.An african rhythm starts the song followed by a rap in another language.The second part of the song is a regular rap. The ending has another great synth line.The cd ends with the instrumental "Sound Of A Sount".This one has an arabic feel. A little like the soundtrack to a strange Indiana Jones movie.
"Spacesettings" is a welcome mix of various stryles that usually don't
converge. I prefer the electronica parts to the rap or jazz-but the cd was
quite satisfying. Recommended for the adventurous listener.
