Ratatat - LP3 [2008]
With each release, Ratatat has further pushed the boundaries of modern instrumental music. In their first album, Ratatat, they introduced their sound, causing people to wonder “Is it electronic, video game-style music? Is it rock?” It’s both! With Classics, they refined that sound, and indeed made a ‘classic’ album chock full of catchy tunes and interesting soundscapes. On LP3, while the pacing of the songs is largely similar to those in their previous albums, in that there are plodding, atmospheric numbers along with punchier ones, the mix of textures heard here is quite rich and varied, blending to create clear pictures of where they might be heard. For instance, I interpret “Mirando” as a trip through a jungle in a river boat, “Flynn”: the gloomy backdrop for walking in the rain, “Shempi”: from a disco dance floor, “Dura”: a picture of neo-Victorianism.”Mumtaz Khan”, perhaps my favorite, sounds like belly-dancing music!
