Boomkat product review for:

fennesz - Endless Summer (Limited Gatefold Vinyl Edition)

Yes, it's yet another edition of Fennesz's evergreen Endless Summer album, this time with alternate Tina Frank artwork and even more additional music than previous versions. Tracks 'Ohne Sonne' and '47 Blues' were hitherto available exclusively on the Japanese CD, and a new, extended cut of 'Happy Audio' concludes the album with a side-long, quarter-hour finale. As with the most recent reissues of Endless Summer, contemporaneous Fat Cat-released track 'Badminton Girl' is included, along with 'Endless'. If you've never previously heard or owned Endless Summer, this just could not come more highly recommended. It's one of those unbelievably rare cultural moments in which the vanguard of experimental music intersects mainstream pop, and does so in a fashion that's both startlingly new and joyously human and accessible. At the time, Endless Summer was often written about as a glitch-based, laptop-fuelled assault on the musical idiom of the Beach Boys' back-catalogue - revisiting '60s pop nostalgia from the vantage point of the postmodern, digital age - and while sure enough the album recurrently sounds like Brian Wilson arrangements munched up by Oval-inspired digital noise tracts, that assessment barely addresses what an influential, and moreover, supremely musical record Endless Summer is. Today of course, you can hear the impact of this record every time someone plugs a guitar into a computer - everyone's been at it since, but no one's even come close to sounding this good. That's probably because aside from the innovation and the inspired avant-garde songwriting, Fennesz is a great engineer, able to make his guitar sound... well, like a proper guitar. Subsequently, even the most interesting laptop-toting six-string wranglers have had a tendency to leave their instruments sounding thin and lifeless in this sort of sonic environment - or worse still, they just can't play properly. Perhaps that's what sets Fennesz apart from so many of his copyists: he's not just an electronic 'composer', he's an actual musician too. Just listen to the obliterated chords and morphed marimbas of 'Caecilia' (sounding better than ever on this edition), or the fiery, tactile plumes of 'A Year In A Minute': it really doesn't get much better.
