Bonobo - Black Sands Remixed + Bonus

Sortie : 2012

Black Sands came out in 2010 to almost universal critical acclaim and worldwide commercial success. Si Green aka Bonobo moved from being an underground producer of impeccable credentials to a
poster boy for a new take on electronic music – contemporary and edgy but also soulful, song-based, sometimes lush but always emotional.



Black Sands Remixed gathers together a group of like-minded musicians and producers to interpret this classic album. Most of the material here has never been heard before (versions of a couple of
the pieces were used as part of Ninja’s 20th anniversary XX campaign) and has been gathered with assistance from renowned DJ and label-head Alexander Nut. Recent Brainfeeder signing Lapalux kicks
things off with a meticulous, sensuous re-work of “Prelude”. Banks fills “The Keeper” with spooky atmospherics. Cosmin TRG re-imagines “Kiara” as delicate heartbeat-house. Floating Points spaces
“Eyesdown” out and adds to the groove, while ARP101 (better known as D&B producer Alix Perez) gives the tune an electronic re-lick and DELS adds heartfelt lyricism to the original.



Later in the record, Machinedrum turns the same tune into hyperactive percussion and echoed loops of sound. FaltyDL shows a subtle, understated exercise in rhythm and atmosphere for his re-work
of “All In Forms”. Mark Pritchard lets in the air on “Stay The Same”, to create delicate, dub-soul. Mike Slott fiddles with the pitching on “All In Forms” to create robot emotion. Blue Daisy cuts
up and plays with Andreya Triana’s vocals until “Stay The Same” really is “Not Quite The Same”. Duke Dumont finishes the record with an incredible use of ambience and orchestral build on his
‘reconstruction’ of “Grains of Sand”. Bonobo himself makes two contributions. “Ghost Ship” (originally given away to promote the XX celebrations) reminds the world of Si Green’s obvious talents,
combining as it does a classic Motown shuffle with lashings of wobbling bass. “Brace Brace” is, quite simply, beautiful, showcasing once again his grasp of instrumentation and tone.

From http://ninjatune.net



Simon Green was born and grew up in rural Hampshire, escaping to Brighton aged eighteen. There he fell into the jazz/hip hop/funk/soul scene centred around Rob Luis and nights like phonic:hoop.
An accomplished musician as a teenager, he began producing his own tracks, pushing at the template established in the sweaty little venues studding the Lanes.



Green’s first release came on Luis’ label, Tru Thoughts, when his track 'Terrapin' was included on the compilation 'When Shapes Join Together' in 1999. His debut album, 'Animal Magic' followed
the next year, completely self-produced and largely self-played, too. Hailed as one of the “new downtempo pioneers”, Green found himself attracting the attention of other labels and eventually
signed to Ninja Tune.



In 2003 he released his first album for the label, 'Dial ‘M’ For Monkey'. This was a time when Green was also focussing heavily on his DJing, playing banging dancefloor sets of hip hop, funk
and drum & bass up and down the country and across Europe, a period which reached its apogee with the release of the mix album 'Solid Steel: It Came From The Sea'.



'Days To Come' followed in 2006, Green opting for a lusher, more live sound than on his earlier records. To tie in with this musical development, he put together and rehearsed a live band that
could bring the music of his records to life. As a result he has moved from selling out the Luminaire to selling out Koko to selling out Kentish Town Forum and the Roundhouse and producing the
live DVD to prove it. 'Days To Come' also scooped the Gilles Peterson listnerer’s poll for Album of The Year. At the award ceremonies he met the talented UK soul singer Andreya Triana. Not only
did the friendship they struck up result in Andreya’s superb contributions to 'Black Sands' but Si has produced the whole of her solo debut, 'Lost Where I Belong'.



Over the last couple of years, Bonobo has become one of the premier artists on the Ninja Tune imprint and certainly one of the most listened to, with over 16 million plays recorded on LastFM.
His combination of superb live shows and studio wizardry means that he is now perfectly placed to push on into a yet bigger league. With 'Black Sands', Bonobo has made the record to achieve it.

Après le retour de Blockhead , voici celui d'un autre artiste électronica historique de chez Ninja Tune : Bonobo. Moins attendu que le premier, le nouveau disque de Simon Green avait été annoncé par un single peu convaincant (chroniqué ici) et faisant craindre l'accentuation des parties chantées dans le genre de celles présentes sur son précédent LP, Days To Come. A l'écoute de Black Sands, l'Anglais n'a pas forcé sur les voix, préservant son électro tranquille d'une chute fatale vers le lounge, même si le single The Keeper est toujours aussi insipide avec une Andreya Triana dont on attend plus sur son premier album à venir. Outre, Eyesdown sur lequel pose un discret timbre féminin qui n'est pas désagréable, l'autre piste chantée, Wonder When, n'est pas plus enthousiasmante. Car c'est sur instrumental que Bonobo assure vraiment et fait preuve d'orignalité, ou alors en ajoutant seulement une voix sourde comme sur All In Forms. Dans un style entre électronica et drum'n'bass, il déroule ses ambiances sobrement dansantes et colorées avec des constructions habiles. On apprécie ainsi Kiara et son violon lancinant ou Animals et sa progression attachante vers un solo de saxophone enflammé et un final éclatant. L'album se termine sur un titre mélancolique, avec une forte présence de cuivres, qui laisse un peu sur sa faim. Malgré un disque plutôt réussi, l'Anglais n'égale pas son excellent Dial M For Monkey et ne devrait pas marquer les esprits en attente de sons plus novateurs. En effet, ce Black Sands rappelle les grandes heures passées du label sans toutefois en avoir tout à fait le niveau.
