| Thanks to WC2R for the 2LP of this album. Here's the retail CD. 11 |
| tracks are featured on the back of the case, however 12 tracks were on |
| the disc. track 12, being uknown, we labeled "outro." check our proof. |
| |
| |
| It's been six years since Solvent's Jason Amm last released a studio |
| album, 2004's Apples and Synthesizers, and the expanse of those years |
| is felt on the appropriately titled Subject to Shift. The spacious |
| production Amm has been working with lately has only been glimpsed on |
| compilations and 2008's double CD retrospective Demonstration Tape. |
| With his latest, the backward-glancing, bare-bones vocoder-and-synth |
| sound tracks like 2004's "Remote Control" are largely gone. In their |
| place are more structured and ornate synth-pop tracks, as well as some |
| dips into house. |
| |
| There are traces of Amm's nostalgic analog sound in the album's intro, |
| outro, and shorter tracks like "Life-Size Image". And while the sweet, |
| chattering analog patterns he's known for remain, he pulls in new |
| textures-- claps, pops, hisses, purrs-- to give the material more |
| complexity. There are also frightening surprises like "Take Me Home", |
| which begins with a bit-crushed beat and blips of tinselly percussion |
| that phase in and out, creating the atmosphere of a creepy underground |
| tunnel. Amm then emerges from the shadows in a Darth Vader voice to |
| "sing" a couple of verses of a come-on ("Take me home today/ I'm in |
| disarray/ Promise that you'll try/ Take me home tonight"). |
| |
| Amm excels when his breezy synth patterns find that sweet spot between |
| suggestion and declaration, and what turns a soundscape into a song is |
| Amm's skill at building drama and momentum without overdoing it. On |
| "Loss for Words" he does it with vocoder-free vocals and a blanket of |
| strings underscored by a bass line. On the excellent "A Product of the |
| Process", he does it by starting with battlefield-inspired effects-- a |
| marching beat and gunshot-like percussion-- then adding an ascending |
| bass pattern and turning up the volume. As adorable as Solvent's |
| instrumentation can be, the project seems to have lost some its |
| timidity on this album. |
| |
| Some of his experiments go too far. "Formulate" and "No One Should Be |
| Living Here" feel out of place, featuring harsh, bleeping synths and |
| dizzying, aquatic beats fit for Rex the Dog's catalog. The vocoder |
| makes an appearance on both, and in truth, most of the vocals on the |
| album feel unnecessary. But Solvent's synths, as usual, speak volumes. |
