The ultimate Dinner Party album for all of you who
like to play things a little differently, the bastard
child of Nouvelle Vague, Gonzales' Solo Piano works
and Aphex Twin, Maxence Cyrin has delivered here one
of the most entertaining smart-arse albums of this
year or any other. And how can you resist? An
acclaimed Pianist who has spent the best part of his
life honing his skills on the ivories, Maxence has
recorded a solo piano covers album featuring
reworkings of tracks by Aphex Twin, LFO, Carl Craig,
Depeche Mode, Underground Resistance, Acid Eiffel,
Massive Attack, Sabres Of Paradise and others,
beautifully re-rendered in an introspective, lilting,
late night style. Ok, so everyone's doing the piano
thing and unexpected cover versions have become a bit
passe, but the delivery here is so accomplished and
original it soon stamps its authority over any
possible concerns. And besides, the idea of
'Windowlicker' delivered on a piano is just too damn
good to deny, Windowlicker..for gods sake! Oh, and
LFO - the most iconic Bleep track ever written -
delivered here, quietly, beautifully, on a piano.
LFO!?! Nuff said
* BPM promo was nuked for being a reencode
