Electrelane Rock It To The Moon Rar

Rock It to the Moon is the debut album by English rock group Electrelane. It was released on compact disc in the UK in 2001 by Let's Rock!, and issued by Mr. Lady Records in the US in 2002. Too Pure, the record label Electrelane signed with for their follow up album, The Power Out (2004), reissued Rock It to the Moon in 2005.

The British four-piece Electrelane play almost nothing but instrumentals on their debut, Rock It to the Moon. The album sounds cinematic, and yet it's definitely more than just background music. Take the second track, "Long Dark," which opens slowly with a throbbing bass and the sound of Mia Clarke scraping her guitar strings. The tension builds as Clarke kicks off a "Peter Gunn" guitar line and Verity Susman pulls up with her stabbing, needle-toned Farfisa. They tear it up for a couple of minutes, switch to a slow part, and then rip it up again. Ten minutes, three segues, all rock.

In small doses, however, it's terrific. There's no doubt Electrelane could beat up everybody in Godspeed You Black Emperor!. Mike Patton's Fantmas may get in and out quickly, and Tortoise may have nice textures, but they can't match Electrelane for volume: without solos, hooks, or blatant virtuosity, they kick out music that flares overhead like rockets and flaming school buses. And that may be why Rock It to the Moon seems deficient-- it doesn't take an hour for them to make their point.

Replacing the original guitarist with Mia Clarke, the quartet recordedthe album Rock It To The Moon (Let's Rock, 2001 - Too Pure, 2005) and the EP I Want To Be The President (2002).They revelead an instrumental sound grounded in the icy symmetry ofGerman avant-rock of the 1970s and in the unstable aesthetic of post-rock.In a typical case of musical equivalent of split-brain syndrome,the propulsive side of the band competes with the disturbing soundscapes of its contemplative side. Thus The Invisible Dog indulges innew-age languor before launching in a wild rave-up.Blue Straggler does the opposite, spinning virulent and irresistiblearound a looping keyboard riff before imploding into a paradisiac quietwith angelic choirs.Nothing could be more misleading than the chamber music for piano and stringsthat opens Many Peaks, soon devoured by a multi-layered maelstrom.The nine-minute U.O.R. consolidates the praxis, by following a furiouspunk-rock orgies with a dilated psychedelic agony.The retro sound of the keyboards is the proverbial cherry on the pie.Film Music is basically a set of organ variations on stereotypes ofSixties' movie soundtracks.Le Song sounds like a dementially accelerated bubblegum novelty ofthe same age.Electrelane does not make it the core of its art, but this retro/revivalistelement alone would justify their existence.Just under two minutes long, Spartakiade is a massive riff-based garage dance,replete with hand clapping and voodoo beat.

Electrelane's wild imagination triumphs with the ten-minute fantasiaLong Dark: propulsive pseudo-surf guitar riff a` la Fleshtones, shrill organ, pounding drums,and grand frantic finale of high-pitched keyboard including anatonal remix of Gershon Kingsley's Pop Corn.The band closes the album with the colossal tour de force of Mother,a breakneck boogie pulsation dotted with dissonances that stands as theirequivalent of theVelvet Underground's Sister Rayand transcends their own principles.Susman became a full-fledged vocalist on The Power Out (Too Pure, 2004),which is a collection of more regular songs. The vocals actually steal theshow in a few cases.Nico's ghost looms over Gone Under Sea, lulled by minimalist guitarstrumming. The Valleys is a novelty built around goofy vocal harmoniesthat mix 1950s' barber style and medieval liturgy.This Deed is a gothic whisper that surges in a solemn scream.

On the other hand,On Parade is more typical of their rhythmic experiments, asyncopated surf-ska "locomotive".So is Take The Bit Between Your Teeth, ademonic voodoobilly with echoes of Creedence Clearwater Revival.A disco beat a` la B52's surfaces in Only One Thing Is Needed, gracedby a wonderful instrumental coda.

Susman's erudite lieder can also avail themselves of atmospheric arrangements.Minimalist repetition and resonance fills the ambience of Oh Sombra!.Despite Susman's plain register, her vocals are a welcome addition to the band'sdisturbing sound.The organ-driven crescendo Love Builds Upand the neoclassical piano sonata You Make Me Weak At The Kneesare the last remnants of their all-instrumental art.Verity Susman is even more in command ofAxes (Too Pure, 2005), recorded with Ros Murray on bass,and the Neu influenceis even stronger. The drawback of the album is precisely that almost everytrack sounds like a Neu tribute (with the exception of a few pensive moments).The generally more instrumental and conceptual compositions give the album asomewhat starker and icier atmoshere that is probably worth more than thecompositions themselves.The majestic Two For Joy, the frantic Bells,the gypsy hoedown of Eight Stepsand the atonal vignette of Business Or Otherwiseare mere appetizers. Then comethe seven-minute blues for obsessive guitar strumming and train whistle Gone Darker,and the ten-minute stylistic collage Suitcase (from piano sonata to achoral ending that is reminiscent, in structure if not in melody, of theRolling Stones' You Can't Always Get What You Want).No Shouts No Calls (Too Pure, 2007) continued the schizophrenia ofthe group between instrumental and sung music, returning to the latter(notably the single To the East) atthe expense of the former (despite Between the Wolf and the Dog). (Translation by/ Tradotto da Paolo Latini) Electrelane un quartetto femminile di provenienza inglese, formate attorno alla multi-strumentista Verity Susman, specializzato in musica strumentale costruita su ritmiche persistenti ed ipnotiche la Velvet Underground, come documentato dai singoli Film Music (Indenial, 2000), Le Song (Fierce Panda, 2000) e Gabriel (Let's Rock, 2000). Rimpiazzata la chitarrista della prima formazione con Mia Clarke, il quartetto ha registrato l'album Rock It To The Moon (Let's Rock, 2001) e l'EP I Want To Be The President (2002). be457b7860
