Album Description
Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid recorded `NYC' at Avatar over two days in February 2008, and the choice of location is at the heart of what the record is about.The whole set, down to the choice of tracks and their sequencing, was influenced by New York City's (in)famous energies. This is the fourth record now in the duo's series of recordings for Domino Records and is by far their most accessible yet, featuring some amazing funk driven workouts amongst some great synth and electronic work from Kieran.
Customer Reviews
Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi + Sun Ra + Tortoise
Aptly named, this latest offering from Kieran "Four Tet" Hebden (samplers, software) and Steve Reid (acoustic percussion) is the result of two days in New York's Avatar studio where the duo soaked in the ghosts of previously recorded works by artists such as Steve Reich to Chic to Missy Elliot. Most importantly, the album reflects Reid's hometown experience in conjunction with Hebden's first real visit to the Big Apple, letting the food and urban explorations inspire tracks with titles such as "25th Street" and "Lyman Place" This all translates into an eclectically charged mix of psychedelics ("Between B & C"), `60s Funk ("1st & 1st) and Stockhausen electronics vs. Downtown Minimalism ("Departure"). In other words, Hebden and Reid's version of jazz fusion, something they've honed live and on record (Tongues, The Exchange Sessions Vols. I and II) to a point beyond casual collaboration: this is their language, and a fascinatingly experimental and enjoyably listenable one it is.
Electronics & Drums... 
I was looking to purchase some fresh vinyl and came upon this lp. The artist struck a note in my memory banks so i made a purchase. The music is different and very interesting upon deeper listening. I do not know anything about what the musicians have done before. If they were in the Jazz or Electronic music circles. The music is fresh and different. (Purchase-put on your harddrive-repeat listen-examine-deeper listenig.)
