Electric
Electric – Discipline (Africantape)
French trio Electric Electric utilise looped and live
guitars, drums and electronics, and source inspiration from post-punk,
electronic music and ethnic and ritual music. Edging truncated and
obscurely timed loops and circling electronic phrasing with voraciously
poly-rhythmical, tribally patterned percussion produces a hypnotic, repetitive
and compulsive urge to dance.
Tracks like “Exotica Today” and “Material Boy” are African
inspired incantations that evoke the sounds of thumb piano and steel drums; “Pornographic
Arithmetic” titillates with Arabic junglism. The title track soars to almost
anthemic and epic heights, “XX1” and “XX2” take on a harsher stance whilst “Neutra
Tranta” sounds like a machine whirring out of control under its own devices in
the middle of the desert.
