For those of you who know ATOM HEART know that he stands
for surprises - whether it be covering versions of pop classics,his
recent latin covers of KRAFTWERK songs (as SENOR COCONUT),
pornographic hip hop sung in Spanish, psychedelic ambient
music or Japanese pop, ATOM HEART has brought together a
world of magnificent oddities unlike any other composer.
Now you are confronted with an album that confesses the
deep connection of its creator: Nobody Knows. Like so many
other productions we know from Mr. Heart, this release basically
provokes a questionmark of remarkable size. These questionmarks
are ATOM HEART'S way to communicate to the listener
throwing or leading him/her into a realm of references codes,
styles, truths, fallacies, emulated or simulated realities.
In fact like so many of his releases, this is not an album
"about" anything at all. "My Life With Jesus"
is a questionmark, by touching another code amongst thousands,
ATOM HEART is simply asking questions so basic as - can
this be authentical? Like so many times fusing fringe aesthetics
as well as allegedly "well known" stereotypes,
we are left confused about "what is real". His
last album as GEEEZ 'N' GOSH, My Life With Jesus (EFA 08090)
crossed the lines of house and glitchy experimentation with
a dose of gospel for good measure, reaching a vast array
of fans - even becoming a regular played record at NYC Body
& Soul! It seemed a favorite journalist term that has
kept being used since his debut has been "click-house".
Nobody Knows... keeps the pace and furthers the house treatment
in exceptional form. As always, expect the unexpected from
Atom Heart.
