A simultaneously odd yet apt release from the beloved ECM label, the fruit of a collaboration by a rather popular DJ (not the AM talk show kind) and a career experimentalist. Re: ECM would win Eno's approval: the project's two masterminds are more concerned with tonalities and the final rendering is closer to sonic art deco. The source tracks — music by the likes of John Abercrombie, Bennie Maupin, Miroslav Vitous, Christian Wallumrod, Paul Motian and others — are electronically recast: resemblances to their previous forms range from discernible to skeletal. These include the ambience of "Reblop," "Retikhiy" and "Rekondakion"; the quasi-funk of "Recat"; the fringe-funk of "Retimeless" (after Abercrombie's "Timeless"); the world music of "Reannounce"; and the sound-cinema of "Reblazhenstva," all exploited for their intrinsic spatial aspect. Officially commissioned by ECM, the resultant seventeen tracks (sixteen if "Reblop" and "Replob" are connected, as the latter is a revamp of the former) conform comfortably to the ethereal transcendentalism common to the label's output.
