Greatest Hits

Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
MEOW 032CD
"From the mind of Brad Laner (Medicine, Savage Republic, Personal Electronics) we bring you Electric Company's
Greatest Hits
. No, not a collection of singles people all want on one CD but a remix album of the highest quality: 18 tracks of inspired remixes and collaborations of the chosen musician's favorite Electric Company songs. Trying to reach a different musical peak through the much maligned 'remix,' this album succeeds on constantly challenging the notion of a remix as mere namedropping or opportunistic genrecrossing, instead delivering truly inspired artistic transformation through sonically predirected reconstructions. Much like the collaboration between writer and director in films, where the writer provides the plot and sonic characters, the remixers provide their technique and style, using Electric Company's provided ingredients to create something they couldn't create otherwise." Remixes by: Kid606, Geoff White, Leafcutter John, Mu-ziq, Blectum From Blechdom, Jasper, Lexaunculpt, Pimmon, Pthalocyanine, Tom Recchion, Electric Company, Kim Cascone, Frank Bretschneider.

It's Hard To Be A Baby
Label:
TIGERBEAT6 RECORDS
Format:
CD
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
MEOW 068CD
"Electric Company is the solo project of Brad Laner, frontman for seminal band Medicine (recently reformed with vocalist Shannon Lee -- Bruce Lee's daughter -- after a long hiatus). As Electric Company, Laner has been making extremely leftfield electronic music since his 1995 Def American debut
A Part Cylic Omen
. Guitars and other live instrumentation complement abstract and twisted electronics (he's right at home on Tigerbeat6). Recorded just before, during and after making the upcoming
Medicine
album for Wall of Sound,
It's Hard To Be A Baby
represents a radical redirection of energy from experimental, rhythmic sound-sculpting toward melody and mood. These new songs do not squander the advantages that modern studio technology offers -- hands-on guitar-playing, voices, and synthesizers -- and pay homage to early Brian Eno and Faust, current artists like Mouse On Mars and Christian Fennesz, and Aphex Twin's more melodic work. Endlessly interweaving sensual, melodic textures and clusters with plenty of the 'noise as beauty' aesthetic, Laner places these elements alongside casually funky beats, making this a musically rewarding and dynamic Electric Company album."

Creative Playthings
Label:
TIGERBEAT6 RECORDS
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
MEOW 096CD
"Brad Laner / Electric Company's album of miniature epics and tiny giants mixes a mature acumen on the 'rock band instruments' and an advanced level application of cutting edge digital preparations. With several theme songs from TV shows yet to come, unabashed pop tunes made out of certain detective show themes of the past, a fair bit of singing, and far more trademark guitar fireworks than even the last Medicine album,
Creative Playthings
goes where no mere IDM record ever could: guaranteed authentic polyphony, actual harmonic discourse on every damn tune, and melody up the yin-yang."
