THEM CODES ...THEM
CODES
 Cargo
HAZ 034
Who is he who is not tempted to rave that the new
Broken Beats-album sounded like a vintage version
of Country a la Calexico, that it lighted choral
fireworks as we know them by the Poliphonic Spree,
that it disposed of the elegy of the Beatles, that
it was charged with a good portion Kurt Weil’s
ease and of Zappa’s folly – and so on,
and so on… How could he possibly be wide of
the mark? And yet, wouldn’t it be as if he
tried to measure the bracing magic of a gentle mid-summer’s
night breeze in degrees Centigrade and meters per
second?
Kim Munk draws a picture of the world as a scenery,
as a stage setting where he has remained a stranger,
with the raw melancholy of the leper, with the plaintive
yearning of the young child crying for his mother,
he orchestrates the dreams of innocence men have
lost in their becoming – and speaks out our
hearts, out of all of our hearts. Fatal, as the
universal Donald Duck of his own history, the stalking
Dane ricochets on the bewilderment of existence,
mutating to the cue ball of the inevitable, in a
way Walt (Disney) couldn’t have cartooned
better. Now shouting in triumph, now sunk in despair.
Music that is blooming straight from the source.
Orchestrated introspection. Symphony of being. Fleeting,
ephemeral - and bit by bit programmatic like you
haven’t seen since Noah, and propagandistic
like you haven’t heard since Dylan. |
