An amazing second album from Pulseprograming on Chicago's
Aesthetics imprint. When Pulse's debut, self-titled album came to
light in 1999 we were completely immersed in its understated tone
and insistance on reduction. Flowing textures and ambient washes,
coating each track with a depth and vision that was as engrossing
as it was unexpected. Four years later and this simply sublime
follow-up lands with us to both confound and take the depth of
sound into new and varied slopes of inspiration. `Tulsa for One
Second' is a completely different affair to its predecessor, one
would almost be tempted to say the work of an entirely different
outfit. Exploring the scope of `pop' from the same starting point
as the likes of Telefon Tel Aviv, Static, much of the Morr Music
rosta and even Boards of Canada, the vision here infuses vocals,
crunchy beats, melancholy tones and an unbeleivable way with a
timeless melody. `Stylophone Purrs...' interwieves a male vocal
with slivers of female retorts, shimmering rhodes, violins and
micro-processed beats dipping into inspring melancholy with shere
perfection. The instrumental stretches of `Here give it...' and
`All Joy...' articulate that most over-used of all electronic terms
: `cinematic' with a brilliance the likes of which were last heard
on Static's `Eject your Mind' album. The more up-beat squashed
beats of `Off to do' melt into unconsciousness with the
introduction once again of the intoxicating lullaby..."Life, is but
a dream.....", somehwow tapping into that unspoken yearning that is
sometimes only possible to articulate through instruments and
voice. With packaging to die for (both the CD version and,
remarkably, the vinyl version designed to fold into a large,
three-dimensional cardboard house), and just the right element of
surprise, this is an amazing record that should be investigated
without further delay. Essential.
