Thousand Words CD (2008)
Arne Van Petegem albums From the introductory sweep of sweet synths that brightens "After Sunset," A Thousand Words' opening track, it's clear Styrofoam has made a dramatic break with the past. Brushing aside the dark atmospheric clouds and downtempo rhythms that previously infested his sound, Arne Van Petegem has created an album that is surprisingly bright and upbeat. The warm "Sunset" pushes toward pop, while the bubbly "Bright Red Helmet" bounces straight into it with obvious delight. Bright melodies predominate, invariably enhanced by rich, new romantic-ish synths, while the tempos are notably upbeat. There are a couple of more pensive numbers, but even they are only lightly shadowed. Van Petegem handles the bulk of the vocals, and does so with aplomb, another change from the past. Here his singing is pulled to the front of the mix, and bolstered by his own multi-layered harmonies to rich effect -- which means that when guest singers do appear, it's mostly in lovely duet, with the strong pairings including Blake Hazard, Erica Driscoll, and old cohort Jim Adkins. Josh Rouse shines on "Lil White Boy." But for all the signs of new confidence found, Van Petegem still doesn't quite trust his vocals and melodies enough to showcase them on their own. Too often he fills the pieces with just too much electronics, almost annoyingly so on the title track, ...

Same Channel CD (2006)
Arne Van Petegem CD discography For his solo records, Fat Jon has mostly concerned himself with making instrumental downtempo music, though his production for artists like Talib Kweli and Rakim, as well as his own work (both as MC and producer) with his groups Five Deez and 3582 showed his capabilities in the hip-hop world. On his latest effort, this time with Belgian producer/musician/vocalist Arne VanPetegem, better known as Styrofoam, Fat Jon marries the two genres, ...

Nothing's Lost CD (2004)
Arne Van Petegem CD discography Styrofoam represents the part of the Morr Music roster where the first three letters of the label's name might as well stand for "middle of the road." Producer Arne Van Petegem does liven up his approach from the previous year's I'm What's There to Show That Something's Missing, a trudging album that often resembled one long, feeble remix of New Order's "Leave Me Alone." The guest vocalists -- including Lali Puna's ...
