专辑介绍

by John Bush

Komputer, the duo of Simon Leonard and David Baker, eventually realized the creative dead-end of their 1998 debut: a stoic homage to the Kraftwerk of two decades past with a title (The World of Tomorrow) soaked in irony. Four years later, they returned with Market Led, a record that also features the duo working in territory previously explored by Germans; in this case, though, it's the more recent sound of dub-techno minimalism from labels including Kompakt, Force Inc, Studio One, and Perlon. Leavened with split-second samples from LPs rummaged at London's Spitalfields Market (where both Leonard and Baker work), these tracks have much in common with the sparse, constructivist sound of the above labels, but Komputer does this cutting-edge techno much better than the simplistic synth pop of their debut. &Gaps& lays it all out, with clicks + cuts and sampled silence over a plodding four-four beat; &Stringer& is an early Warp anthem hacked into pieces (very distinct pieces, natch), while &Kompaktor& has all the mechanistic percussion expected from the title. Total 4 it's not, but it's also leagues beyond the scattered Kraftwerk tribute bands in existence.
