Touchpool
is the second album from Lucky Pierre aka Aidan Moffat, one half of
Arab Strap
. L Pierre's debut album
Hypnogogia
, described by the artist as "music to fall asleep to," was released in September 2002 and greeted with critical acclaim from the dance fraternity (
Gilles Peterson
and
Nick Warren
) as well as the rock monthlies and broadsheet press.
Touchpool
provides more of the same grand, sampledelic, atmospheric strings interwoven with light and dark only a member of Arab Strap could bring. Where
Hypnogogia
was a collection of Moffat's spare studio hours messing with samples, drum machines and loops over a period of around 5 years,
Touchpool
was formed and recorded in one unified whole. This time the formula is similar, with drum machines and orchestral loops providing the backbone. The main difference is the addition of live musicians which makes for a much fuller and more epic listening experience. Arab Strap's other half,
Malcolm Middleton
plays guitar and bass on "Baby Breeze," with
Dave MacGowan
and
Allan Wylie
from Arab Strap's live incarnation contributing pedal steel and trumpet.
