Nicolas Jaar: Space Is The Only Noise LP
Product ID: 25614304
It's tough to pigeon hole Nicolas Jaar. On the one hand, he's very capable of producing in the realms of deep house (check his Wolf+Lamb stuff or the reworks Nina Simone and New Order), and on the other, he's able to deliver leftfield electro, downtempo beats and ambient soundscapes with aplomb. Talk about a versatile producer! Anyway, Space Is The Only Noise focuses on the latter style, a 13 track excursions to the heights of introspective headphone music. The album is a perfect balance of moody ambient pieces, and extended beat-driven passages, and a bit of experimental weirdness. When you're in the mood for this kind of thing, it's one of those albums you can just throw on and play all the way through without having to skip any tracks. Allow it seep into your sub-conscious and you will recognize - it's that good! Highlights include "Colomb," "Keep Me There," "Spectres Of The Future" and "Too Many Kids Finding Rain In The Dust." Oh did I mention that this is his full length debut? Recommended.

Give yourself some space.....
Coming out at the same time as James Blake is maybe a little unfortunate for Nicholas Jaar. However, it's entirely possible that in a couple of years this will be the 'experimental' album of the 2011 that people will remember more.It doesn't have the radio friendly tracks like Blake's cover of 'Limit to your love' but it hangs together well as a whole and is the kind of album that you would describe as a 'grower'.

Every Once in a while....
Every once in a while a truly imaginative and challenging composer/artist will come along to quicken the pulse and fire the imagination. This album is mesmeric and is one of the most rewarding aural experiences in recent years. Nicolas Jaar is an artist who I will folow with interest in the coming years.

Just buy it.
Rather than go into longwinded ravings, I will just say that this is cutting edge electronic/ experimental music at the forefront. It is wonderful and makes me realise that there are still artists out there trying so hard, who dont or wont get the recognition they deserve. Go on, be daring and buy this. You wont regret a penny.

Wasn't sure what I was hearing the first couple times through, but it didn't take long for it to click. I'm absolutely in love and obsessed with this album now, so far my favorite release of 2011.
