*Note* that this vinyl release has two exclusive edits not
found on the 2xCD release that BF kindly shared back in
October.
A whopping triple LP outing for the Candian jazz/techno
fusionists Cobblestone Jazz, which for the uninitiated,
comprises Mathew Jonson, Danuel Tate and Tyger Dhula.
Traditionally, Tate's keyboard work has given Cobblestone Jazz
a distinctive live feel, but launching into the opening title
track here there's no real evidence of that, instead everything
has more of a programmed sound to it, albeit with a lively,
analogue warmth.
Elements of Rhodes and smooth chord changes start to appear in
'Slap The Back', and on the next side 'PBD (LP Edit)' features
a bit of soloing, but the overall feel is one of silky
movements within a fairly fastened-down techno framework.
'Hived Touch' is far more interesting, exhibiting some big bass
and substantial, muffled beat production, yet this sort of
minimalism is abandoned altogether for 'Lime In Da Coconut'
which marks a departure for sunnier, more playful sounds. Even
the beat seems to have a spring in its step.
More overtly jazzy numbers crop up towards the end of the
album, with the vocoder funk of 'W (LP Edit)' standing out in
particular. Cobblestone Jazz have clearly honed and streamlined
their approach to music-making since their debut 12" five years
ago, and as a result the potentially quite jarring elements of
live instrumentation and programmed electronics sound as though
they've reached a natural balance on 23 Seconds.
