APL007 >> Taavi Tulev - Televiisor On Tuksis
13 tracks :: 58min 10sec :: 83.76 MB

One of todays most important composers of
classical music is Toivo Tulev, the father of
Taavi. For Autoplate, Taavi cuts, smashes,
mingles, constructs and keeps defining the new
school of electronica folklore from Estonia.
13 neo-dsp songs which are mad and randomly
structured, but in the end agree on one point:
beautiful.

Taavi keeps playing various instruments of
undefined origin and, if you listen carefully,
unfolds multiinstrumentality i rarely took notice
of yet. "Karje" pierces your ears with an enraged
spoon on the heating and loud distorted pads which
top on jamming a dramatic melody together. "Freako"
is a metallic jam of used and unusal sounds. "Amuu"
sounds like a defacement of a traditional estonian
good-night song with illogcial harmonies. "Kaega"
has melancholic-melody painting skills equal to
some Lackluster songs of the "Container" album, but
with more youthful energy behind and not too
reduced. "Mleellikulal" grain manipulates hipassed
guitarlick cycles and plugs/unplugs popping wires.
One of my favourite cuts, "Kivi" jams on a heavy
fx-ed piano with all the dadaistic, impudently,
sounds Taavi loves to cutnpaste. "Minuni" evolves
C-64 resonanced strings and pads and lfo-s, cutoffs
and delays them to a nice potpourri of retroanalogica.

On "R-Pauer" Taavi throws again bittersweet and
tender melancholica around himself like lightnings
which break your heart into thousand parts. "Berta"
is hectic and tries to escape from the unknown. In
all between those songs, we have a break with Dr.
Jekyll, the liquid fountain of youth, "Televiisor On
Tuksis" which keeps sparkling like glowworms. So nice!
And a really impressive example of Taavis solid
classical background of composing. Beware of Mr.
Hyde in "Trainas"! "Taschkje" is a warm bath of
electronica, before he leaves us with yet another
estonian christmas interpretation, called "Alap" here.

Very recommended - see Taavi on Germany tour in
December, definately one of the most bizarre Gigs
you'll have heared so far then, yet.
