Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Little Lost Soul brims with electronic eccentricity, operatic weirdness and quirky, left of centre drum and bass and is a confused and disturbed piece of work. It is also paradoxically calm. The LP's character is a result of the collision of both. The wayward "Half A Tiger" exemplifies this approach admirably, the half speed dub, swirling FX and irreverent choral chants change gear suddenly and it's all frenetic drums and sinister orchestral manoeuvres. The beatbox, drum and bass of "Goddammit You've Got To Be Kind" highlights the precisely programmed edge of Matt Elliot, the only member of The Third Eye Foundation. The shimmering atmospherics of ten minute epic, "Lost", the syncopated warbling of "What Is It With You" emphasise the haunting undercurrent found in each of the seven tracks. This is an album that is propelled by a sense of nervous energy as this Little Lost Soul ensures you never rest easily or encounter the problem of complacency on your listening way--two valuable attributes that this music exudes.--Found Sounds


CD Description

Treading far less aggressive and dark ground than YOU GUYS KILL ME, this album is still cut from similarly lo-fi gothiccloth. "What Is It With You" overlays several vocal lines building upon one another until a burst of drum 'n' bass trills brings it to a grinding halt. "Lost" has a lovely repeated guitar passage that's punctuated by soft piano chords and a beautiful female vocal. The largely acoustic arrangement evolves over 11 minutes attaining a wonderful psychedelic haze. The album closes with "Goddamit You've Got To Be Kind", aquiet haunting trip-hop number with an overlying string motif that simply falls into diminuendo as the breath leaves the pipes.
It would seem a paradoxical combination, the harshest of rhythmic styles and the most beautiful of melodies,but in its own way, it's very primal. Matt Elliott's collage technique is quite organic, unlike Hal Willner or Moby, whose albums are more episodic. Elliott uses a selective palette of themes and creates the songs seemingly as artists put paint on canvas. The choral samples echo previous work, but here the mood is more soulful, accessible and hypnotic, though not without drama. "I wanted to make a beautiful record",says Elliott, "something to melt hearts".

5.0 out of 5 stars A London Labyrinth Favourite, 26 Mar 2000
By glyn.wilcox@freeuk.com (London Labyrinth) - See all my reviews
If you are looking for an introduction to Matt Elliott's work, this is a good place to start. It's a stunningly beautiful album that can't fail to move you. The form is loop-based and therefore repetitive which occasionally leads to standard pile-up crescendos as the only real development. This linear layering can seem somewhat impenetrable at first but rewards repeated listening. The second track is the only really over-egged pudding here. Reservations are soon forgotten, however, as the bitter-sweet mood envelopes and entrances the listener. The slowed and treated sounds form gorgeous, melancholy textures which are melded together with visionary insight. A master at work. Links to The Third Eye Foundation and other electro/sampling maestros are featured on the London Labyrinth web-site.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's 3am, do you know where you are?, 14 Mar 2001
By Mark Cox "eightpercentjazz" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There is this idea that sound, like image, never disappears, it just floats out into the ether, beyond our range of hearing. Matt Elliott seems to have made some sort of machine to collect these sounds, and now he wants to share his findings with us. Pinned to a scattershot drum and bass background, like butterflies to a collector's case, the noise of something and someone is slowly unravelled. Ghosts waiting to be exorcised somersault through the entire album, and the intense melancholy piles up with the sounds of lost opera singers and the rantings of the strays. Yes, I love this album, it scares me stupid in the wee small hours, but it's that feeling that you're listening in on someone's experiments to contact lost souls that makes this truly exciting. Be afraid, but bask in its intensely human warmth aswell. Beautiful.
