Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Keyboardist and programmer Friedman goes in search of Secret Rhythms with former Can drummer Liebezeit. Burnt's seductive solo albums (Con Ritmo, Plays Love Songs) and his work in the Flanger duo have already been marking him out as a major force in what we'll have to call organic jazz-electro-Latin-funk. His own Nonplace label is also the home of innovative packaging. This album boasts a monstrously powerful sound, sleek and shiny in its details. Liebezeit's current drumming style is stripped down to a metronome action, shorn of all needless embellishment. Coupled with Friedman's bulging basslines, Jaki's cyclic patterns alternate between one-track obsession and cut-up stumbling, toying with the in-between spaces. His clipped snare and all-pervading bass drum fuel the funk, getting heaviest on the dub reggae mutation of "Rastafahndung". Morten Gronvad's vibraphone also plays a crucial role, particularly on the Indonesian gamelan shimmer of "Rechter Winkel", while guitarist Josef Suchy completes the line-up, chopping out his pock-marked wah-wah fills. A triple remix set closes the disc, merging into a single entity, the final "Obscured By 5" vividly incorporating street noises as it bubbles along like a melting rubber snake.--Martin Longley

4.0 out of 5 stars Strange but charming., 6 Jun 2002
By A Customer
Not quite what I expected from Liebezeit, having come straight to this from Can's Tago Mago, but intriguing nonetheless. At first listen, a lot of 'Secret Rythmns' sounds a little random and meandering, but after a few listens, the jerky, disjointed rythmns begin to come together, and start being being both soothing and beguiling. I've been listening to it at work, and the days have really flown past! Definitely recommended.
