Yoshinori Sunahara | Lovebeat

The New Politeness seems to be upon us.
CD, Bungalow/EFA

Tekst: Omar Muñoz-Cremers

Publicatiedatum: 06 november 2002

One wonders how many albums like these momentarily appear in the slipstream of techno. Albums that are extremely well produced, every sound possessing a certain correctness yet without that mysterious spark that leads to true greatness. On Lovebeat Sunahara presents a rather pleasurable downtempo form of techno, interlaced with neat spiraling sound effects, light touches of echo (as on the exemplary Balance) and a host of computer-generated voices. Again one images minimalist apartments, the enlightened worker enjoying the fulfillment of work-as-play while her thoughts occasionally drift through the music. The artwork consisting of weird diagrams and puzzling slogans suggest a depth the music never mirrors. Ultimately Lovebeat suffers from a quality that keeps recurring in a lot of recent releases: it's just too polite. The New Politeness seems to be upon us.
