| | Triosk Moment Returns CD - Import Triosk Discography of CDs
Long gone are the days when studying jazz alone could predicate a successful career as an artist (a musician in a monkey suit is another story). Such is the lesson learned by pianist Adrian Klumpes when he left his musical conservatory to pursue a broader spectrum. However, wanderlust can become lost without the structure of institution. Such was the case with Klumpes before discovering the abstract minimal looping of jazz by German producer Jan Jelinek. Although a dozen time-zones away, Klumpes began fussing with Jelinek's loops with his trio, Laurence Pike (keyboards) and Ben "Donny" Waples. The resulting 1+3+1 found the three working with Jelinek, giving them their first exposure outside of Australia. But this release, recorded at roughly the same time, offers Triosk alone for the first time. On the question of mood, Moment Returns offers only wrappings with the highest thread count, assuring exquisite softness and warmth. "The Streets Are Empty" threatens discomfort with a tingling bell and distant feedback, but instead breaks into stewy piano/drum/bass vamps on "Chrono" which, while going nowhere in particular, lay you back and stretch your feet out. "Love Chariot" broods around metronomic cymbal and bass pulses well akin to Tortoise while organ-like samples dance gingerly just out of reach. The whole thing builds in the tiniest of increments for the song's five minutes, which leads to the question of technique. In crossing jazz knowledge with electronic proficiency, it is often impossible to tell where one ends and the next begins. Is the splendid build a work of musical proficiency, or a mere trick of the computer clock? Not that it should really matter. Each song takes you to the spectral places that exist in the best moments of classic jazz, when the players have all but stopped playing, the listeners have all but stopped listening, and only the air thick with mood remains. But without the once requisite chords, melodies, improvisations, or what-have-you needed to get to that place; it can feel a bit too easy. ~ Joshua Glazer

Moment Returns album
$6.19 This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the ...

| | CocoRosie La Maison De Mon Reve CD (2004)
Moment Returns music CDs
$12.69 An enchanting debut, CocoRosie's La Maison de Mon Rêve is a dreamy yet challenging confection of found sounds, folk-blues, trip-hop, girlish pop, and experimental recording and production techniques. The Casady sisters' breathy, slightly different, but equally lovely vocals circle each other atop delicately plucked and strummed acoustic guitars, chirping birds, and fractured beats, making for a sound that is hard to define outside of its own beauty and creativity. A strong Billie Holiday influence colors the sisters' vocals, particularly on La Maison de Mon Rêve's most accessible songs, but even then, CocoRosie isn't so much aping Lady Day as it is invoking her style in unique ways. Layers of crickets, birds, pianos, and intensely sweet backing vocals make "By Your Side" an unusually intimate and spontaneous-sounding, while lyrics like "I'd wear your black eyes/Bake you apple pies" give it a subversive, feminist angle. "Butterscotch" mixes ethereal ...
