    4.0 out of 5 stars Take THIS folktronica!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 July 2005
    With 2003's "Rounds", it was beginning to seem as if Keiran Hebden was becoming trapped in the increasingly bland 'folktronica' formula that he had helped create. Thankfully, his new album "Everything Ecstatic" has broken free of those shackles and opened everything wide-up.
    More raucous, more engergetic, more spontaneous than before, in some ways this is a return to the free-er, jazzier grooves of his first album Dialogue (my favourite).
    The layers of these tracks take many more listens to unpeel than the relatively two-dimensional "Rounds" while the emotional impact may have you moving in two different directions at once.
    This is the sound of Four Tet sticking two fingers up to his imitators as if to say "Just try and copy THIS then!" and then proceeding to destroy the room with an onslaught of just about every conceivable sound he can find.
    Let's hope he continues to stay one step ahead of the game...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Ecstatic Again
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2007
    Kieran Hebden follows up the glorious folk-tronica whimsy of `Rounds' with a more energetic, beat-driven album in `Everything Ecstatic'.

    The opener, `A Joy' sets the tone with its low, intense bass groove and pounding drum loop. The track then dissolves into a noisy, random sequence which is then sharply followed by the joyously catchy, simple melodic hook of `'Smile Around the Face' which does exactly what it says on the tin.

    `Sun Drums and Soil' features frenetic drum bursts overlaying more shuffling beats, backed with Boards of Canda-style synth washes. It gradually builds with layers of horns and sax and vocal samples to a thrilling crescendo.

    `And Then Patterns' and `High Fives', consecutive tracks, are the most `Rounds'-like on the CD, featuring a beautifully simple melody over gentle beats.

    The closer, `You Were There With Me' is a seemingly insubstantial collage of bells, chimes and odd sounds, but give it a few listens and a captivating melody emerges.

    The multi-layered sounds on this CD would be an utter mess in the hands of a lesser talent than Hebden, but he has shown a remarkable degree of consistency in following `Rounds' with another varied, interesting and thoroughly enjoyable record.

    Not a patch on 'Rounds', but few records are. Worth owning, but not life changing. You get the picture - if you've not tried Four Tet before definitely don't start here. Way, way more down the Electronica pathway than Folktronica.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 February 2006
    My first experience of Four Tet was off the album 'Pause' - amongst the wealth of other electronic music that I had listened to over the summer, the organic and 'real' beats were so distinctive and relaxing that I had to go and explore what Four Tet had to offer.
    Being accustomed to so many staple bands of anyone's electronica diet - Leftfield, the Prodigy and even the jazzier Mr Scruff, I found it hard to fully understand the point of Pause's underwhelming chilled out 'folktronica'. But it soon became apparent that Kieran Hebden was tackling songs from a completely different angle. Pause brought obvious melodies, took them to the abstract and drenched them in atmosphere - enough to conjure up many unchartered emotions.
    So how does this relate to 'Everything Ecstatic'? Four Tet has basically taken this idea of the 'abstract melody' and enhanced it to a hitherto unseen level. But this time round it's far heavier and more accessible to a dance/electronic music fan. Straight away from the first song, heavy beats and a subterranean bass line get you wanting to dance. However, the real gem is 'Smile Around the Face', a favourite opener of a Four Tet live set, mainly due to its extremely catchy melody and crazy drums. It seemed as if Kieran Hebden chose what would be a catchy pop song and tore it up and just used snippets of it amongst endless layers of drums and samples and noise (in the best possible sense of the meaning). But it works.
    What scores this album five stars is how throughout the rest of the album he manages to maintain the pace. Not only that, but he uses samples and textures that most artists wouldn't even be able to think up.
    Naturally, this album takes many listens to fully uncover how good it is. The abstract melodies only are revealed with a greater understanding of the songs, but soon you will find certain samples genuinely catchy and exciting. Sun Drums and Soil, and 'And then the Patterns', plus High Fives all exemplify this characteric.
    So, if you are into any kind of electronic music, I highly recommend this album. It'll get you dancing and in equal measures it'll relax you. In fact, it's just a damn good and highly intelligent album.

    5.0 out of 5 stars keeps on going...
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 May 2005
    needless to say, it's amazing. anyone who heard the single (smile around the face) will have had a taste of the direction this album seems to follow...the title "folktronica" no longer seems that appropriate, but there seems to be a more electronic feel, with the usual free jazz influence (excuse the cliche). a bit more glitchy, a lot more dance-y, and very very happy. The depth of this album is unbelievable...every listen reveals something new.

    Album décevant si on le compare aux deux précedents opus. Là où il y avait finesse se trouve désormais bruitisme.
    J'attendais beaucoup de cet album, et sans qu'il soit vraiment mauvais, ma déception est à la hauteur de mon attente.
    Préférez les deux précédents albums si vous souhaitez connaître.

    me likey Four Tet. alot. I like that he's Squarepusher with a goofy smile, I like that he experiments, but grounds himself in a world of organic sounds: bugs and parps and squeaks.

    Rounds was nice. But sometimes, when in the interests of not being accused of being "geeky" by his sister (true, apparently), things started sounded a bit one-dimensional and bland ("As serious as your life" for example). As a consequence, Rounds was wildly successful: creating 'folktronica' as a tag and Kieran as it's leader. Rounds was last years' 'Play' or 'Melody AM' Nice, but overexposed and not that challenging.

    Meanwhile, the live experience was magic: Kieran Hebden takes his albums as a starting point and rips them apart live, ending each track as a stuttering mash-up of glitches and over-pumped beats. Why couldn't his albums sound so energetic, so sparkly?

    And so here's "Everything Ecstatic". I guess he figured he had the right to turn up the playful, experimental dial to 8 this time around. It's fun: it's also less melodic, less easy listening and less immediate for people who don't like randomness in their order.

    Back to the album: The lead track 'A Joy' is great, showcasing Kieran's drum programming talents: all over the place, but somehow still cohesive. 'Sun Drum and Soil' is even better, starting sweet and then fracturing, spiralling and getting dirty and cranky by the end. Ecstatic still has it's pure moments: "And then Patterns" is lovely, and as the one clearly tuneful moment in the album it stands out beautifully.

    All in all, it's a balanced showing, with a nice blend. There's a couple of missteps: everyone loves Boards of Canada - there's no need to sound exactly like them, like on "Clouding" & "You were there with Me". Especially when Four Tet has no reason to sound like anyone else.

    Four Tet manage the best balance of harmony and chaos that I've heard out there. This gets me all excited about the next one all over again. Yay for development, yay for experimentation. Next time, turn that dial up to 10, please.

    　ポストロックバンドfridgeのメンバー、Kieran Hebdenのソロプロジェクト、four tetの通算4枚目のアルバム。

    　変態レーベルdominoからのリリースです。

    　ドラマーのSteve Reid（もしかしたらライブだけかもしれないですが）が参加したせいもあってか、再生ボタンを押してからもうビートの嵐です。

    　毎回違う音を模索しているらしく今回はドラムンベースなエッセンスや今までどおりのエレクトロニカな香りなどがして、とても楽しい雰囲気です。

    　ジャケットもスリーブもすごくデザインがよくて、カラフル（すぎw）なテキストや素敵な写真など、かなりたまんない感じです。

    　ただしそれと比べると音のほうが見た目の派手さにちょっと負けてるかなぁと思ってしまいました。

    　もちろん遊び心満載な音ですが。

    　お気にはm-1,4,8,9,10。
