The Blunted Boy Wonder | Innuendo

LP, Music Man/NEWS

Tekst: da volgaBabe

Publicatiedatum: 06 mei 2000

Desert storm veteran and techno-producer Steve Stoll strikes back in his 'Blunted Boy Wonder' outfit with the high impact / high potential album 'Innuendo' on Music Man Records. High Impact: the man kicks off at 141bpm and keeps on hitting it hard throughout nearly the whole album. New Yorkian acid ('New Yorker Deluxe', 'A Part, Apart', 'Just A Moment') remains the main ingredient, though the blunted boy is clever enough to explore new variations on his properly known theme by adding irresistible massive funk-drives to high potential compositions like 'Repoman', 'Buck Fifty', 'Pieces of eight' and the insane title track 'Innuendo', who will without any doubt turn any self-respected dance-floor inside-out. You did read that right: compositions, because one of the main goals of Stoll's output is escaping the structure of Western music's emphasis on verse and chorus. Hypnotizing, shifting rythm-layers, confronting loops and creepy sound-textures take him me and you into an universe where another Scud-missile attack is likely to happen every moment Calm down with chill-tracks 'Agent Orange' and 'S.I.N.Y', swirl along at light-speed into an extra-terrestial experience in "The Other Side" or surrender to a technofied society in 'G.D.I.'. Maybe these computers got the funk afterall? Definitely !
