Introducing Spanish artist dot tape dot (previously knowns as .tape.) might not sounds as the most urgent
matter for us, as spa.RK released his delightful "Paintings" (sp11cd) late 2005. But weÆll do it, of course, as
heÆs right noe one of the most interesting Spanish artists working in the area of electronic music
via-laptop-folk-via-postpop. He also has a wide international projection, as he just released ôTomavistasö
album on US label Other Electricities. And because this lovely cd that you have on your hands is not
exactly a new album by the most charming freaky artist we know but...
A remixes album at this point of the game? We couldnÆt refuse to the temptation of leaving some of dot
tape dot favorite artists (Japanese Sora and Shugo Tokumaru, or French master Sebastien Roux) mess
and reconfigure his magic loops made with toy guitars, colorful plastic xylophones and different gadgets.
But then other friends subscribed also the idea and this is how the most playful electronica (ISAN,
Bradien), the kings of Brit-folk (Tunng), the local delegation (Eedl, Do) and the most delicate euroelectronic
artists (Bichi, Rumpistol, The Village Orchestra) joined the party.
ItÆs not by chance that most of these artists have a folk treatment of electronica in their work. Some of
them might be considered as part of the laptop folk scene, a common and deeper link that goes beyond
the current electronica scene adorned with folky reminiscences. But the original compositions by dot tape
dot are used here as a platform to take us to a world full of precious melodies, electronic waltzes,
Japanese exotismo and delicate rhythms.
It is pretty obvious that this cd is a whim, so , so to keep high that feeling we are also releasing another
gorgeous item, a 7ö with two exclusive remixes: ex-Piano Magic Arbol, remixing ôThe Projectionistö as a
new and magnificent piece of his well-known savoir faire on the A-side, baked with spa.RK honcho Fibla
remix of ôYouÆve Bought a Minicity...ö. A fair example of whatÆs happening right now in Spanish scene in a
lovely collectors item.
While we wait for forthcoming news (a new dot tape dot album is scheduled for next year, and also his
collaboration with Spanish folk star Aroah in Acuarela records) we need to wait patiently with this delicious
work that establishes new bows with the work of dot tape dot. A wait that is worth it.
