Leaving Belle & Sebastian on the eve of mainstream popularity was a brave move by onetime bass player Stuart David. As the driving force behind Looper, he's proved that he has a lot of his own ideas to offer. THE GEOMETRID takes up where his debut album UP A TREE left off. The slinky trip-hop atmosphere is still intact, but this time the production is meatier, possibly due to Looper's mutation into a permanent four-piece band.
Kicking off in energetic style with the house-influenced "Mondo 77," THE GEOMETRID is something of a celebration of technology. "Modem Song" tells the story of an email from a Japanese friend, with words set to the atonal bleeps of a modem. "Tomorrow's World" and "My Robot" deal with the gap between futuristic fantasies and real life. Elsewhere there's gentle summer pop ("These Things"), and the '60s-inspired funkiness of "Money Hair." David plays the sensitive outsider card throughout, with a mixture of charm and playfulness.
Looper: Stuart David, Karn David, Ronnie Black, Scott Twynholm.
Additional personnel: Karla Valderama, Jodi (vocals).
2nd Rel
Q (6/00, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...An eyebrow-raising mish-mash of cheap keyboard and guitar sounds and DIY grooves....an awkward, yet occasionally beautiful listening experience."
Alternative Press (7/00, p.102) - 4 out of 5 - "...Full of wacky noises and sampled beats...we find a charmingly nanve blend of light techno sounds and bleepy analog synths bouncing along with effortlessly catchy melodies and Stuart David's breathy vocals..."
Magnet (6-7/00, p.80) - "...Featherweight pop songs wrapped in lengthy discourse....[Stuart and Karn] David can't help but write catchy tunes once in a while..."
CMJ (5/8/00, p.28) - "...A genius slab of shambolic big beat that casually wipes the floor with anything we've heard lately out of Mr. Fatboy Slim....stitching together wildly incongruous styles into an accidentally cohesive album that succeeds..."
Melody Maker (5/9/00, p.51) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...An album of surprises....you get Stuart [David's] soft weird, storybook prose....[and] the twiddlings and whirrs of clonky ancient technology...:
Mojo (Publisher) (7/00, p.118) - "...Souffle-light concoction of tape-loops, odd samples and fey vocals. At their best, the tracks...are charmingly consumptive little objects imbued with the melancholic ecstasy of summer evenings and childhood sadness..."

Recorded live between June & October 2001. Includes liner notes by Michael Bracewell.
After 18 years off, everyone knew that Roxy Music's 2001 reunion tour was going to be an event, and by all accounts, it was. But once the thrill of it all wore off, did the band still have anything to say musically? The answer is a resounding yes. Eagle Records' release of the double-CD Live features tracks recorded all over the world, creating a virtual dream concert made from the best-recorded, best-played songs of the 2001 tour. Unfettered by the need to promote an album, Roxy was free to survey their entire career, and it would be hard to come up with a better set list (OK, "Pyjamarama" should have been included). The expanded lineup enables the band to effortlessly re-create everything from Eddie Jobson's violin solos to Eno's treatments and textures, and while the arrangements stick pretty much to the original script, the band really digs into the tunes, and Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay have never sounded better as soloists. In fact, Manzanera is consistently dazzling every time he steps to the fore, sounding every bit as ferocious and unearthly as he did on their first few albums. Having Paul Thompson back behind the drumkit was vital for the early material, but also adds some needed power to tunes like "My Only Love". Bryan Ferry's voice has weathered just a bit, but he's still the epitome of crooner cool.
The sound quality, as expected, is excellent, allowing the listener to hear every musical detail the band offers. Audience participation, the bane of many a live album, is largely held in check until the very end of the set when it intrudes slightly on the encore numbers. But this is a very small quibble about a thoroughly wonderful release. This set should impress those unfamiliar with Roxy and will surely thrill longtime fans. It's a fine testament to this band that these songs sound timeless rather than dated nearly 30 years down the line in many cases. After nearly two decades away, Roxy Music prove that they still have plenty of style and plenty of substance. Recommended. ~ Sean Westergaard
