Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Parisian producer Jackson Fourgeaud fashions skewed techno and jagged electro from the digital detritus of the 21st century. His choppy, abrasive sound has captivated those who have heard singles like "Utopia" and "Rock On", and the daring experimentation of those records continues throughout this hauntingly futuristic album. Aptly describing the document as a "sound-orgy", Jackson (his "computer band" consists of whoever happens to be around when he’s recording; in this case renegade MC Mike Ladd and Jackon’s vocalist mother and niece) collects fragments from our collective musical subconscious, shreds them into glistening shards and presents us with a collagist cut-up of faltering beats, teetering synthlines and warped melodies. Like Akufen or Prefuse 73, Jackson packs his phantasmagoric vision with enough weight to keep the party-people rapt.--Paul Sullivan
Description
SMASH is Parisian Jackson Fourgeaud's debut as Jackson & His Computer Band. The "computer band" in question is quite possibly nothing more than a battery of tourettic sampling beatboxes, and as the title suggests, Jackson seems hell-bent on demolishing simple categorizations of genre and stylistic hegemony. All manner of sonic fodder provides grist for the mill, from opera vocals and circus music to arena rock; all of it gets pulverized into layers of cascading sound and rhythm. Majestic in its scope and uncompromising in its intensity, SMASH will have the genre purists ducking for cover.
