CD Reviews

Atypical A-list beats
micron | 02/07/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"It's rare these days to find a minimal house album that doesn't dally in the repetitive, and Miwon's Pale Glitter is one example. Whereas most house albums focus on either vocal samples, A-B-A form progressions, or a few unique sounds without really pursuing innovation in the style or composition of the music, Miwon creates rare moments when seemingly uncoordinated beats and texturized sounds suddenly lock grooves, where out of the gloaming of a bass drone steps a fleeting moment of ecstatic melody like the pink lining of clouds at sunset. In other instances he captures exactly the pop ambient aesthetic Kompakt trumps as their unique gift to the world of micro-electronica but more often than not fails to produce. The only fault of this album is that the tracks do not comprise a coherent whole that makes them songs and their composite an album per se; they remain simply a collection of singles featuring a similar aesthetic. If this is Miwon's only problem though, he's got far less ground to cover than most house producers and he's off to a very good start."
