Joakim Lone Octet is nowhere to be seen. Neither him nor any of the
ersatzes that have been sewn on his back by careless jokers -
Joakim Bouase, Joakim Octet, Joakim Loneàall names taking more
letters that can reasonably stay put on simple piece of cotton.
Done with the virtuoso pianist, jazzhead (Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra),
occasional indie kid (Pixies et al.) and admirer of stupendous
electronics (As One, Carl Craig, Plastikman). Abdel Rahman El
Bacha's star student has skipped class. No more "cadavres exquis"
and surrealist puns, instead you get Joakim period. A renewed
artist. Someone punkier and rougher.
The trick works. Forget about the Octopussian jazzmen. Time for
something rawer and stronger. PIL, Robert Wyatt, Philip Glass or
Arthur Baker had long before already all understood for the better
that 'love isn't a game poodles play'.
An album obviously influenced by post punk music with an electronic
edge. Mysterious ambient, nostalgic interludes, surprising breaks,
cavernous bass lines, twisted synth gimmicks and chopped vocodersà
"Fant⌠mes" will haunt your spirit for a long time.
