RELEASE DATE
7/21/2009
This is the debut full-length release from
Rec.tangle
aka Brighton-based, France-born
Adrien Rodes
. A lush, dream-like, instrumental whirl, it's the first flowering of a major talent, and the new incarnation of the artist formerly known as
Topo Gigio
. Recorded with Adrien playing almost all of the parts, the album sees Adrien move away from his sample-heavy origins to instrumental music. '70s synthesizers, acoustic guitars, acoustic and electric pianos, percussion, organs, sitar, zither and harp-like instruments were all crammed into the 8-foot square recording space that Adrien shares with
Stereolab
/
Junior Electronics
'
Joe Watson
and
Baikonour
's
Jean-Emmanuel Krieger
in pursuit of the album's full sound. Rodes has arranged silvery layer after silvery layer of sound, one right on top of the other to compose a heady, diverse, and profoundly strange chimera. The bits that weren't played by Adrien were largely a family affair. Adrien's brother
Etienne
played guitar, and his sister-in-law Marie did the vocal harmonies. Classically-trained drummer
Alex Eberhard
supplied the beats and, in Adrien's words, "
sexed up my fascist drum programming
." However it was constructed,
Heavy Maple
is wondrously indescribable. It sounds like some sort of Krautrock/prog opus, or the soundtrack to a late night documentary on sea turtles, or the accompanying music to some fantastic museum tour of a completely different planet that has an atmosphere of swirling colors and inhabitants with reflective skin. This is meditation music for extra-terrestrials.
