A couple of years ago Streamer played at the first Heineken Music
Crossover award festivals in the Netherlands. The song 'Blown Up'
even was one of the best tracks on the festival compilation CD.
More then three years later Streamer, reduced to the British
musician Gary Shepperd (living in the Netherlands), is debuting
with 'Blissed'. Although 'Blissed' is his piece of thought,
Shepperd has been working together with Amsterdam-based Private
Thoughts in Public Spaces, a performance art company whose
influence on the album isn't all that clear. Fact is that 'Blissed'
contains a blend of different music styles that range from hiphouse
to trippy songs with a cinematic feel. Opener 'Vague Ass' for
instance combines a driving bass, jazzy piano loop, smooth organic
breaks, and a latin flavour, while 'My Baby' knows a strange kind
of bluesy Manchester vibe. More challenging is the funny
drum'n'bass like 'Manic Hispanic' or the energetic breakbeat track
'Blow Up'. The intense mixture of different styles like house,
funk, trip-hop, filmmusic, latin, and breakbeat not only makes
'Blissed' interesting; it also makes the album complicated and a
bit hard to listen to as a whole. Just consume Streamer's music in
moderation.
