after a first go at crazy and multiform house on the label
pumpkin', jackson fourgeaud made an auto produced 4 tracks vinyl
in 1998.
re-released a few months later on the label sound of barclay, his
"sense juice ep" under the pseudonym jackson & his computer band,
was followed by ep jackson's "gourmet", two weird records that
made their mark.
the computer band, i.e. jackson, seduced both press & djs, which
led him to remix vanessa paradis, femi kuti, free form five (on
classic), ark, m, marc collin, shaun christopher and archive.
electronica, bleep noises, experimental neo-p-funk and dadaist
disco all clash together on jackson's new single "utopia", a
preview of what's to come on his new album scheduled for september
2003. hybrid, uncontained, baroque and mutant, jackson's music has
matured and distanced itself from the dance floors and gained in
futurist and introspective expertise. the ranges (organic) of the
new tracks are the fruit of adventurous trials and tribulations in
the domain of sound, recorded in a home studio which sometimes of
course is synonymous of chaos.
in the self titled track on the maxi, his mother, paula moore,
sings a chorus both ethereal and enigmatic, in the style of a
celestial supermarket choir from the year 3025. some will remember
her hit from the 80's "valparaiso". jackson has succeeded in
constructing an unstructured cathedral of sound on a background of
groovy non-rhythm, and an abrasive and claustrophobic utopia. the
b-side "radio caca" is a take off on fm formatted house music and
a secret tribute to queen. "l'appendice" is a short & sharp
interlude.
