Charlatan is the moniker adopted by Digitalis label-head
Brad Rose to express his most lucid electronic visions. In
contrast with his multifarious body of works, he
articulates the majestic crests and synthesized shapes of
'Triangles' with far sharper contours and a taste for more
piquant dissonance which resonates on the mind like a mild
acid. This heightened clarity also renders its emotional
impact that much more powerful, lending the whole album an
almost quasi-religious atmosphere and intent. This sense
of lambent electronic spirituality radiates from the
gracefully ascending chords of opener 'Lime Beauty' while
a slowly motorik machine beat chugs us deep into the
landscape, the dissonant, arpeggiated vortex of 'Faint
Blue Outlines' and the sombrely reflective penitence of
'Vodka Rocks'. Turning over, there's the poignant pay-off
of 'Traces', casting a spellbinding mesh of skyward
synthlines over loping drum pulses, slowly shuffling
forward in the queue to be received by the deliciously
warped dissonance of 'Foxes', recalling the ambiguous
twinges of Leyland Kirby but with the glorious impact of
Rose's own Altar Eagle compositions. The final deliverance
is Brad's celestially sanguine 'Swimming Pool Summer
Nights', a transcendent piece of instrumental ambient pop
drinking from the chalice of Talk Talk and Joy Division
but augmented by blooming 808 beats which define the
record's supernatural sense of space.
Ignoring pretentious boomkat stuff this sounds quite
interesting.
