█
Any album that has its promotional version (at least)
start off with a nerdish radio DJ voice insisting that
his station plays the finest in Eurocrunk has its heart
in the right if weird place, and thus does German duo
Modeselektor enter the world of full-length albums with
Hello Mom! One of the many techno acts of recent years
that takes modern pop radio's own reworkings of more
obscure electronic forebears as a source of inspiration,
Modeselektor sound fantastic as a result -- unafraid of
being slick and immediate, but at the same time not
exactly "normal" either, if that term even applies these
days. A comparison point here and there might be the
peerless Basement Jaxx, but Modeselektor are less
insanely hyperactive, though the collage of beats on
songs like "Die Clubnummer" pack in a similar amount of
hooks per second. Many of the songs feel like
Modeselektor happily dipping into styles just to see if
they work (in one of the most interesting examples, the
solitary piano sound of "Hasir" almost sounds like a
kiddie version of RZA's classic Wu-Tang work). "Silikon"
tweaks with grime, "Kill Bill Vol. 4" plays around with
the neo-industrial beat approach of Black Strobe, while
the more stentorian pace of "Earth (UPS Edit)" and "In
Loving Memory" suggest a slightly older industrial
approach, though spiked with glitch. Then there's the
open Depeche Mode-meets-Aphex Twin homage of "Vote or
Die," suggesting a way that those two pioneers might
have sounded if they had collaborated in 1997 but
working just fine on its own in the present. Meanwhile,
the astringent chill of the keyboards and crisp '80s
beat on "The Rap Anthem" -- which doesn't feature any
rapping at all, as best can be told -- actually does
live up to the Eurocrunk claim as much as anything else.
Enjoy!
