St Germain Boulevard CD (1996)

The Stenographer album

$11.49

Picture a world where each and every French dance band was unflinchingly bad; where every Air or Cassius or even Phoenix never existed since every homegrown, starving musician looked to somebody like ATB instead of St. Germain. Luckily, this is but a piece of fiction. Because Ludovic Navarre created such a saintly pseudonym, employing deep house, tittering breaks, and down-tempo attitudes that -- in over-simplistic terms -- virtually invented the entire French house movement that has crossed over more times than a Diana Ross impersonator. The question is, does being first make you any good? Taking cues from acid jazz and its chin-stroking underground, songs like "Deep in It" or "Street Scene (4 Schazz)" seem to shyly respond, "yes." It's only the preponderance of an odd sense of a Frenchman aping American black music that starts to cause the most alarm. The loose jazz excursions such as "Sentimental Mood" carries all the emotional weight of a sewing needle and the choice of blues samples (while being years before Moby even caught onto the idea) feels contrived. The album may exude an atmosphere of a musician discovering a new genre hybridization, it just doesn't quite reach the maturity of a fleshed out idea. A landmark album? Yes. An album that lacks the loveliness of an Air or the inventiveness of an Etienne ...

Enigma Cross Of Changes CD (1994)

The Stenographer music CDs

$11.39

On THE CROSS OF CHANGES, Enigma delves into the mystic with a musical fervor that transcends sampling technologies and popular dance beats. THE CROSS OF CHANGES is a serene yet supremely sensual musical synthesis that might best be characterized as new age hip-hop. Enigma's worldwide hit MCMXC A.D. was notable for, among other things, its use of Gregorian chants as samples in a heady techno mix, which inspired such delirious interest in this ancient music that The Benedictine Monks Of Santo Domingo De Silos are currently enjoying their own Top 10 hit--CHANT. With THE CROSS OF CHANGES, Enigma's auteur Michael Cretu has merged a series of chants and simple devotional lyrics into a smooth techno-psychedelic wall of sound that is, in contemporary terms, a synthesized flipside to the techno-pop dance grooves of groups like Ace Of Base. Apples and oranges? Certainly, but both groups do employ texture and repetition to particular advantage in a pop context. However, where Ace Of Base finds nirvana in the incantory rhythms of reggae and the classic textures of old-fashioned analog synthesizers, Enigma extracts their hypnotic rhythms and textures from a variety of Eastern sources--at times evoking the ghosts of fellow mystics ...

Royksopp's Night Out CD (2006) Limited Edition; Extended Play

The Stenographer songs

$9.85

With more muscle than either of the group's two studio releases, this EP maintains the layers and textures the band is known for, but adds an energy that points to more straightforward club music. The version of "Poor Leno," for example, adds a thudding backbeat, while "Go Away" improves ...

Air Love 2 CD (2009)

The Stenographer album

$13.95

For part of Air's POCKET SYMPHONY tour, JB Dunckel and Nicolas Godin played shows with only drummer Joey Waronker as support, forcing the band to strip their songs down to their essences. They stick with that lineup on LOVE 2, which delivers some of the most Air-like music to the band's name, and with good reason: This is the first time Dunckel and Godin have produced their own album. The duo tends to follow their more ambitious work with more accessible material and LOVE 2 is no exception, replacing POCKET SYMPHONY's exotic, experimental bent with a renewed emphasis on their quintessential sound. Godin and Dunckel dig deep into their arsenal of vintage electronic gear, topping those burbles, buzzes and whooshes with some strings here and a few fuzzed-out guitars and basslines there. Above all, atmosphere is the focus, and early on, the album finds Air at their most confectionary: "Love" is irresistibly pretty, offsetting a glockenspiel that sparkles like grains of sugar with brisk shakers. From there, LOVE 2 sweeps away any remnants of POCKET SYMPHONY's expansive melancholy with concentrated happiness--these are some of Air's most lighthearted songs since TALKIE WALKIE. "Be a Bee," with its aptly buzzing and hovering synths and spy movie theme guitars, could be one of the most stylish novelty pop songs ever. However, ...

LowFat Bar Wisdom CD (2005)

The Stenographer album

$12.69
LowFat is straight ripping. Where jam band meets hip-hop, LowFat combines the funk of Galactic,the danceability of a Neptunes joint, and the soul of SoCal, Sublime-style reggae. This eight-piece Bay Area groove collective gets the drinks flowing and the people dancing by throwing down a home brew of horn stabs, turntable scratches, funky guitar, dub-reggae bass, and Timbaland-style synths, all wrapped up with a funky back beat. This is a band for folks who want to get their party on.

LowFat is the brainchild of Bay Area native Chris Uiterwijk, a vocalist, keyboardist, and guitar player. Originally a studio project for his label Rizla Records, LowFat's ...
