Second release for the promising Rump Recordings
label, after 2004Æs initial release, the debut album
from Rumpistol. æRump Comp Volume OneÆ, is a
collection of tracks from various newcomers (oRfeUs
and Melk) and experienced, established artists
(Manual & Syntaks and Prinz Eno) showcasing the best
in Danish electronic music.
Two main themes lead the course of the album besides
the obvious electronic side of things, namely in the
genres of hip-hop and dub. A settling influence of
glitch and dub taint the rhythmic, pulsing basslines
of Kriipis Tulo and the crunchy precision of
Opiate-esque opener æHalloÆ, by Sofus Forsberg. Yet
samples and beat-heavy loops dictate the more upbeat
offerings from Manual & Syntaks and the Boards Of
Canada inspired æMs-HornÆ, by Karsten Pflum.
More individual tracks are the organic, man-made IDM
of Skyphone and ZoffmanÆs goofy vocal cut-ups,
keyboards and indietronics of his æKaffe Smoger &
TheÆ. The latter of which bares an uncanny
resemblance to the work of Ai Records artist,
Yellotone.
With so many different styles at work, itÆs
surprising to find how smooth-flowing and perfect the
running order is, yet æRump Comp Volume 1Æ finds
itself at the fore-front of current electronic
albums. A beautifully crafted collection that
improves and rewards with each listen.
