Synopsis
Amazon.com The Detroit-bred electronic maestro Prince Charming has gained a great deal of strength from his mysterious, contrived role as a "modern romantic." On his second solo effort, the good Prince reveals a suave talent for innovative sampling, lurid innuendo, subliminal beats, and psychotronic mixology. While Charming brings a subtle, ambient techno demeanor to his sonic collage of trip-hop, dub, and kaleidoscopic soul Muzak, the DJ-producer also injects a fair amount of drama into the proceedings. A layered and lush studio project that succeeds both as background music and as an avant-garde listening experience, Fantastic Voyage is a challenging head trip. Using hushed voices whispering seductively amid salsa rhythms and pure white noise, Charming and his confederates may have constructed the ideal make-out album for the year 2000. --Mitch Myers |
CD ReviewsJust want to assure mr condescension from manchester... hinkley1364753434 | 08/03/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "that we get it just fine. now go listen to your spice girls" Deep chaotic psychedelia hinkley1364753434 | the internet | 02/16/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "a mix of deep dubbed out orchestral atmospheres, psychotic beat poetry and an amazing cacaphony of funky beats. this is one of the better illbient cds ive heard. every track is something new." A LETTER FROM PRINCE CHARMING PRINCE CHARMING | HOLLYWOOD | 02/17/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "In 1998 Prince Charming rocketed across the midnight sky in an infernal flying machine of his own construction; an outlandish vehicle as buoyant as a bumble bee, but accursed with a crew of pirates and backstabbers; While Fantastic Voyage is a wonderful travelogue of musical mayhem, the explosive and pyrotechnic ending is forever lost.
BTW: Prince Charming stopped working with Philosophy Major AKA music critic Denis Desharnais in early 02. I have nothing to do with that dude. While Fantastic Voyage does include production work from Lovecraft Technologies (and a number of other musicians), it is a PRINCE CHARMING CD. Those looking for a Lovecraft Tech CD should search for a CD titled to LT." |
