baikonour - For The Lonely Hearts Of The Cosmos
Emerging from Brighton and with not a single smiley face in sight, Baikonour (known to his folks as Jean-Emmanuel Krieger) is the latest string in Melodic's increasingly formidable bow and marks one of the labels most interesting signings thus far. With musical foundations built on "Pink Floyd from Dad and Marvin Gaye from Mum", Krieger is a musical magpie, picking elements from his record collection and incorporating them seamlessly into the whole. So whilst 'Coltan Anyone?' is an Anglo-Saxon take on the !!! sound (albeit with a dash of Television thrown into the mix) and 'Proto' brings together ethereal electronics and Gang of Four propulsive bass, it's 'Oben Beg (Mk 2)'s cross-breed of Sparks, Ten Benson and Mogwai that is most intriguing and surprisingly successful. Yet even with Simon Raymonde flourishes creeping up all around, 'For The Lonely Hearts of The Cosmos' is very much Krieger's own sound and whilst unashamedly referential is in no way plagiaristic, leading to an addictive and piquantly original album.
