Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Curvatia's creators, Spacek, are based around the core collective of Steve Spacek (vocals) Edmund Cavill (guitar) and Morgan Zarate (drums). Even though they've only released two EPs, the South London trio are already being adorned with the kind of praise usually only reserved for bands once they're a few albums down the line. So what's the fuss about? In truth the praise is well deserved because Spacek are indeed pretty special, succeeding in a truly idiosyncratic cross-pollination of hi-tech soul, otherworldly R&B, futuristic hip-hop and off-kilter electronica. A strange combination maybe, but it works. An effortless sound that just shimmers and slides, interrupted only partially by the shuffling rhythms, stumbling beats and infectious, indefinable quirk that sets one tune apart from the other. Take the razor-sharpened beats and gently bumping hip-hop of "Eve", the sweeping cinematics of "How", the smooth, sassy spaciousness of Curvatia, the mistuned off-kilter soul of "Act for You" and the charming acoustics and simplistic beauty of "I Have a Daughter that Sings". All of which share the breathy, languorous vocal narratives of Steve Spacek and belie their obvious love for melody and left-of-centre form. This is a truly accomplished and irresistibly moreish album. --Found Sounds

この作品が2001年に作られたことに驚かざるをえない。
私はSPACEKの次作「Vintage Hi-Tech」のレヴューに21世紀型のソウルと書いたが、どちらかといえばフューチャリスティックな志向性はこの作品の方が高い。
キャッチコピーで言うと、「耽美で、意味不明。」

エレクトロニクスで作られた音すらもオーガニックに響かせてしまうその手法の上手さは恐ろしくすらある。
だがその意味不明さは一度頭の片隅にこびりついたら最早逃れられない類のものだ。
定期的に何度も繰り返して聞きたくなる。
言うなれば、Inner Cityの「Good Life」やヒップホップクラシックである「Summer Time」などと同様、

10年生き残ることが可能なクラブミュージックなのである。

ヒップホップで言うならthe rootsなどのフィリー勢、
UKものならzero 7などのチルアウト系、
あるいはボーカルの魅力というならvikter duplaiuxに通じるところががあります。
イチ音楽ファンとして是非聞いて欲しい一枚です。
