New Releases+Audio :: Ladytron, Fertile Ground
LADYTRON "Light and Magic" (Emperor Norton)
CD/LP $14.99/$14.99
RealAudio: http://64.27.65.90:8080/ramgen/othermusic/flicking.rm

If a portal was discovered allowing the possibility of time travel
between 1980 and 2002, I consider it Ladytron's duty to construct a
safe vessel containing a single copy of "Light and Magic." They
must then position electro soothsayer Gary "Human?" Numan (circa
1980) at the receiving end of the said portal with a note attached to
the LP reading, "Thinking of you in 2002." The decidedly
retro-futuristic
neo-vapid decadence of "Light and Magic" is reminiscent of, well, our
own envisioned future of 'la musique' fashioned through the
synthetically euphoric eyes of the "me decade." Driven by its
intentional sterility, the dueling/converging post-human vocals of Helen
Marie and Mira Aroyo glide over Hunt and Wu's just-contained electro
beat orchestrations daring you to make one false move on the dance
floor. It is slick, it is smooth and so futuristic. [JO]

FERTILE GROUND "Seasons Change" (Counterpoint) CD $21.99

Hailing from Baltimore, this three-plus-member collective has
previously released two exceptional albums of positive, uplifting soul
jazz. On their third LP, "Seasons Change," they continue to reach
beyond the limited "nu-soul" tag to create rich organic music. Not
merely re-doing past traditions, Fertile Ground draw inspiration from
gospel, soul, blues, jazz, reggae and Latin with their own clear vision.
Think of the strong vocal presence of Abbey Lincoln and Doug and
Jean Carn, the complex arrangements and rhythms of 4-Hero, the
social/political prose of Gill Scott-Heron and Me'Shell NdegeOcello,
with the musical tones of Earth, Wind and Fire, Terry Callier and
Philip Cohran. Highest recommendation! [GA]
