album review

Rimbaud's debut for grindcore-heavy Earache (licensed for domestic release by the Canadian Primitive label) is perhaps his most full-blown attempt at integrating the minimal cellphone ambience of his previous Scanner work and the breakbeat tech of remixes and side projects such as Mr. Cane and Si-(Cut).db. The album's longest tracks -- beat-heavy tunes bearing heavy influence of electro, hip-hop, and funk -- are spackled together with shorter vignettes of suitably intriguing snatched cellphone chatter, manipulated static and white noise, dial tones, etc. Still, while Rimbaud's efforts to downplay the by-now cliched methods of his namesake are admirable and quite often accomplished, it begs the question of what role they can possibly play in future recordings. ~ Sean Cooper, All Music Guide
