: :
: We've spent so long in the company of this magical album it's :
: impossible to express our deep, unending love for it. Small and :
: perfectly formed, 'Metanarrative' explores Mark Stewart's :
: experiments with midnight techno variants, utilising a stylistic :
: reduction that looks for warmth and detail in every nook and cranny. :
: Of course, over the last couple of years Stewart has been best known :
: for his 'Warehouse Sessions', a series of stripped twelves that make :
: use of an astute line in reduction and a love of sonorous basslines :
: to develop a sound best noted for its devastating production and :
: frayed dub sequences. Metanarrative is a different beast altogether, :
: built around 8 tracks that provide the backbone and emotive arc for :
: the grand narrative alluded to in the title. Gone are the :
: uncompromising percussive arrangements of the Warehouse Sessions, :
: and instead the sound explores a more melodic, quietly euphoric :
: display of opposites : sweet melodies and heavily padded bass :
: frequencies, introspective conceits and propulsive percussion, and :
: populist arrangements built with a deviant sound palette. Opening :
: track "Operation" sums this process up perfectly, the arrangement :
: building around a succession of chord progressions and shuffling :
: percussion that develop sweet tension and momentum without ever :
: breaking into the obvious - the breakdown just never comes. "Harsh :
: Reality" tugs more openly at the heartstrings with an intro that :
: gives you every reason to believe that what's to follow might be the :
: most readily commercial material from this artist yet, but the :
: eventual bassline inverts expectations and delivers something both :
: moving and exhilarating, perhaps the most elusive and prized :
: combination of all in music making. By the time the album ends with :
: "Beautiful Death" a mere 40 minutes later, all that's left is a :
: weathered bass pulse and long forgotten memories that urge you to :
: return to those halcyon days, full of movement and life, all the way :
: back on track one. Metanarrative is a compelling album, somehow :
: f*cked up and life affirming all at once, with a glamorous, :
: throbbing mass at its heart. :
