Album Description Bomb the Bass is back, but put away that smiley face: this is no nostalgia trip. With Future Chaos, Tim Simenon revamps his long-running project to produce a record that's fresher than anyone might have expected from an outfit that got its start in the '80s. Tickling tweeters and pushing the limits of low-end, the album hovers confidently on the cusp between futurism and vintage, boasting the sort of confident songwriting that's a rarity anywhere, much less in electronic music. Simenon calls it "electronic music with soul," but that barely begins to describe it. At once lush and chilly, intimate and alien, Future Chaos is a synth-rich album boasting guest vocals from Jon Spencer, Mark Lanegan, Fujiya & Miyagi's David Best, Toob and Paul Conboy. An electronic album that isn't bound by genre; a pop album that's not afraid to stretch out or space out. Future Chaos is these things and more, and it's here now. If this is the shape of chaos, maybe we don't have so much to worry about. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsBOMB THE BASS is BACK!!! "Future Chaos" is close to perfecti Rafael Cova | Caracas, Venezuela | 10/31/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "THE BEST ALBUM OF 2008.
This is all about the music - stripped back, pared down, simplistic. Think Tim Simenon, co-producer Paul Conboy, a laptop, a mic and a Minimoog, the result A GREAT ALBUM. Beautiful, nice and intelligent music. Far from an explosion of new techniques, or a blizzard of samples, Future Chaos is old school - but that doesn't mean it isn't also cutting edge. The nine-song disc kicks off with Smog - a hypnotic, futuristic dirge with fantastic vocals from Conboy. Big dance names Fujiya and Myagi guest on Butterfingers, with atmospheric whispery lines like, ''I play Tetris in my eyelids''. First single, So Special, is filled with twinkly synths, and Fuzzbox is a squelchy funkfest - a fitting end to the album. Simenon calls it `electronic music with soul', but that barely begins to describe it. At once lush and chilly, intimate and alien, `Future Chaos' is a synth-rich album with great guest artists. One of the most admirable aspects of this album is its restraint. Many of these songs date back to the late 1990s, and Simenon apparently recorded versions with full instrumentation and multiple synthesizers. At some point last year, Simenon returned to this material, but was unhappy with the previous arrangements, and decided to remake the entire album with nothing but a MiniMoog and a laptop. This was a smart decision, as this restriction instantly lends the album a strong sense of cohesiveness, a quality not often found in multi-vocalist electronic albums. The fat analog basslines, spidery synth figures, and chunky rhythms created with the Moog make the album a real treat for fans of analog soundcraft. The whole album chugs along with a sound that feels refreshingly uncalculated; a dark, playful, and mostly quiet suite of bedroom pop songs. The special limited edition comes with 2 cd's with great remixes of Adam Sky, """GUI BORATTO (amazing)""", Michael Fakesch and many more, plus and excellent extra track "Star"." |
