What is a comparable sound? This Combustible Edison seems like it may resemble The Gentle People or other ez/chee-z electronic hybrids. NP: Carcass - Wake Up and Smell The Carcass > >Just got finished listening to the new Combustible Edison album, "The >Impossible World". Yes, the same Combustible Edison who were at the >forefront of that whole "Cocktail Nation" lounge revival thing. > >I've always liked them, but wouldn't've considered them on-topic for IDM >before. However, this new disc is co-produced by Scanner, and is an really >interesting mixture of ComEd's neo-exotika and Robin's electronic >blurping. His touch can be felt on at least half of the tracks on the >album, and there are a bunch of between track interludes that he is >obviously responsible for. Best of all is the final track, "Utopia >(Scanner's reprise)", which is a beautiful dubby ambient remix of the >album's opening track. > >Wonderful stuff, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they >translate the electronic elements into a live context when they play here >in a couple of weeks. > > >Greg > >
