jimmy edgar - color strip
(warp, 2006)
'Color
Strip' seems to be adhering to a new trend at Warp (see also Battles'
EP) to close a release with a shit-load of 5-second pieces (76 in this
case...) that make up (in this case...) a sizeable buffer for the
hidden track. Still with us? Detroit resident and wannabe underwear
magnet, Jimmy Edgar continues his clean break with Prefuse-style
shenanigans for this LP of metal-coated funked-up techno/dub -
including previous EP additions 'I Wanna Be Your STD' and LBLBDetroit'.
At his best when he indulges in smooth beats and silky production, the
aforementioned 'I Wanna Be Your STD' grafts a Dragnet-style rap atop
skittering dub ballast, whilst 'LBLBDetroit' opts for some spotless
tech/dub that's spent too long polishing its g-funk back catalogue.
Elsewhere, 'Hold It, Attach It' sounds like Paul Hardcastle for the
Basic Channel-generation, 'Of The Silent Variety' is all neon-beats and
squelchy-Jacques Le Cont-backdrops, whilst 'Color Strip Warren' slows
it down for the obligatory star-gazer.
