| | Rock & Pop: NEW RELEASES: Jah Wobble, Jaki Liebezeit, Philip Jeck Independent, The (London) - Find Articles |
 | | Live in Leuven is, in effect, an extension of those collaborations, with turntablist Philip Jeck an able substitute for Czukay and Edge - less demonstrative than the latter, maybe, but with a wider range of sonic strategies at his disposal. |
 | | As a turntable artist, Jeck is like a more laid-back, minimalist DJ Shadow, not so much obsessed with the rhythmic possibilities of scratching as with creating absorbing textures. |
 | | Here, he opens the piece with a lowering orchestral chord sequence, with echoing fragments of strings, vinyl static crackle, music-box chimes, and little zippy noises of uncertain provenance whipped to the consistency of mist, before Wobble and Liebezeit join in about seven minutes in, setting up a curious push/pull rhythmic figure over Jeck's shifting sound-bed. |
