Arguably, Oscar Gaetan & Ralph Falconùcollectively known as
Murkùhave been to æ90s and 2000s dance/club music what Dr.
Dre has been to West Coast hip-hop: producer/writers who
have one eye on the mainstream and the other on the
underground. They won't be mistaken for the ultra-slick
Stock/Aitken/Waterman team, but they don't confine
themselves to rave music's lunatic fringe either. A nonstop
65-minute dance/club mix that Murk provided for Tommy Boy in
2003, this self-titled release is a rewarding example of
their ability to balance mainstream and underground
considerations. This mix is about the beat, but it's also
about vocal personalityùand that certainly sets it apart
from the totally underground dance collections that are
strictly for the rave crowd. Gaetan & Falcon get the CD off
to a very accessible start with the familiar "Some Lovin',"
which features singer Kristine W. and favors a conventional
verse/chorus/verse/chorus song structure. And they continue
in that vein whether they're featuring Greg "Stryke" Chin on
"Time," Jennifer Carbonell on "Doesn't Really Matter" or
Tamara Wallace (of Funky Green Dogs fame) on "True" and
"Believe". But things take a more underground turn toward
the end of the CD with tunes like "Afro-Cuba" and
"Baba-Sulei," which aren't as accessible by pop standards.
In a sense, hearing this CD is like attending a concert by a
mildly avant-garde jazz musician who has an inside/outside
perspectiveùthe sort of improviser who might pull you in
with an inviting Duke Ellington melody before going on to
challenge you with some free-form outside playing. For Murk,
an hour-plus dance mix is all about timing and pacingùand
their pacing is excellent on this captivating release.
