This is perhaps the most unique pop album available, as seen through
the kaleidoscopic lens of Canadian John Oswald, who invented a
sampling style called plunderphonics that frequently tips the scales
towards copyright infringement. Plexure is built on clever
manipulation, everything plus the kitchen sink,
blink-and-you'll-miss-it, less-than-a-second edits from literally
everyone in pop music over the last decade, and the results add up to
a blender full of Top 40 confetti. There are themes here in these
unbelievable collages of sound; even new phrases evolve from the
sewn-together threads of Billboard hits. The first track, "OPEN
(Bo No Ma)" is a cluster of words from the rap genre that hits the
ground sprinting and only gets faster as the tracks seamlessly
progress, like the Tasmanian Devil drank 14 cups of coffee and raced
the bullet train through the Indie 5 million. Madonna and Prince both
seem to be prominent figures along the way, but are practically
buried under the onslaught of samples from Chicago, Ice-T, C+C Music
Factory, Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians, U2, Fine Young Cannibals,
Janet Jackson, Fishbone, Eurythmics, Peter Gabriel, Foreigner, Paul
Simon, Deee-Lite, Talking Heads, Phil Collins, SinΘad O'Connor, the
Clash, the Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jesus Jones, James
Brown, and 712 others. The entire album clocks in at just under 20
minutes, but has easily 40 hours worth of material crammed into it.
There are no other similar albums, except those perhaps released by
Oswald himself. Plexure may give some people a headache, but others
will hang on for dear life and get back in line for another ride.
