Jega - Geometry
(Matador)
Dylan J. Nathan's current project is a bit of a
departure from his previous work. He has left out
most of the abrasiveness in favor of some eclectic
borrowing from many electronic styles.
Geometry begins with an almost drum and bass feel,
much like Photek, with sparse drums and bass sprinkled
with the occasional squeal. By the third track,
"Recursion," however the album switches to a more
traditional form for Nathan, with is the harshly
abrasive sound that is reminiscent of a broken
machine. The next track, "Geometry," dispenses with the
abrasion and and brings out the whimsy in full effect.
It sounds almost like something from u-Ziq.
The styles are constantly in transit, which makes
it a little incoherent. Nathan is, however, quite
adept at all of the styles he tries, and the album as a
whole is quite rewarding, although maybe not fully
realized.
