What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

We have a new CD in by Melodium. It's their 2nd or 3rd album. Maybe their 4th. Feck knows, I'm not their keeper, how should I know? They've had singles out before on Static Caravan and a CD or 2 out on Disasters By Choice. They've always done the melodic electronic thing with a degree of panache. This is more of the same with much more of a wierd feel to it bringing Hypo to mind without it being quite as mental. It's still eminently tuneful and way better than most of the melodic electronica which comes in week in week out.  It's almost like proper songs made with electronics rather than it being rammed with long drawn out nonsense. It sounds very French too which is an odd thing for me to pick out....

What the label says:

Melodium is the project of a 25 years old french man called Laurent Girard
melodium is in fact a contraction between "melodie" and "medium"
melodium's first release is a 7" on the english "static caravan" label
called "rhythmi"(last year) another 7" should be done really soon on the same label on these two 7" you can find concrete melodies (often sad ones) and weird beats in the CD called "quiet noise area" with the disastersbychoice label, the approach was less electronica, it is simply a blend of classical guitar and
piano melodies with electronic sounds and beats, the whole recorded with few
equipment in a shaft's mind, it is just an experiment and melodium's works
are now much more concerned with electronica.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
