Guest Le Lotus Bleu Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 Necton - Children Of The Noizy Village Artist: Necton Title: Children Of The Noizy Village Label: Plusquam Date: 2002 Track listing: 01. 03'08" The Awakening 02. 05'17" Noizy Family 03. 05'21" Bug Sqad Dub 04. 08'47" Submachine 05. 08'38" Swamppeople 06. 07'53" Funkfactor 07. 07'51" Nature Nation 08. 09'59" Porno Poltergeist 09. 08'06" Fresh Flavour 10. 08'17" Muddyterrainian Review: This is what what i can easily call stomper stuff, big, fat,hard or heavy kicks are first caracterisms of this album. In fact,the kicks reminds me Miranda's ones in his first album 'Phenomena' but much heavyer. After some minutes of familiarization , it's very simple to enter into the musical universe of Necton. The fear of a too much homogene album appears at begining but quickly vanishs in the air with the presence of some dubby progressive stuffs (tracks 2 & 3) in a slower tempo. Nevertheless major part of this album is constitued by some dancefloor kickin, and these 2 swedishes people succeed in producing some evolution between each of their tracks, some are more funky (funkfactor), some got more worked uplifting rythmic with efforts put on harmony (Muddyterrainian), others are a nice compromise between stomp kicks at its best & subtle dubby harmony (Submachine) or simply killer stomper energic dancefloor ( Nature Nation or Fresh Flavour) with also some 303 lines in Nature Nation. The first track 'The Awakening' isn't a real track, It's more an intro explicating the necton's musical universe.It's composed of 80% of speaking and the last 40 seconds some very nice notes are played at piano & acoustic guitar but too short (It would have merited to be a real full track). To conclude, this album will surely make more of one person dance on the floor. Highlights : Submachine & Funkfactor Others good tracks 2,3,9,10 Mark :8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yan84[at]aquanet[dot]co[dot]il Posted August 16, 2002 Share Posted August 16, 2002 Bit of an oddity this one, and if you were ever after an album to baffle and amuse your future offspring when they plunder your CD collection in however many years time, this is it. If you know Necton’s Beverly Hills Cop, you’ll know they’re not the most conventional of artists, putting the ‘mental’ into experimental and not afraid to have the mick taken out of them in the playground. Children Of The Noizy Village is a concept album, sort of telling a story, sort of getting funkier as the album progresses, and sort of leaving you enriched in a kind of Tolkein-trance sort of way. The Awakening showcases their love of a particularly unforgettable voice effect that resurfaces through the album, and jut when you think you’ve picked up an old Gong offshoot prog-rock monster, sub-aphex twin beats tickle your underneath with style. Noizy Family is twisted breakbeat with a deep jungle sub, with cute melodies drifting in and out. Bug Squad Dub is probably the most psychedelic dub ever produced, with plenty of shifting and classy stoned delays, and Submachine marks the start of the album’s 4-4 dancefloor section, which starts out almost disappointing given the sweet introduction but, give it time and it turns into a nice bubbly groover with good melodies and a nice progression. Swamppeople is organic-minimal and Funkfactor is stripped-down magnetised trance. Nature Nation is hard, yet fluffy with playful and lazy 303’s, the quantize is at a quirkily perfect level to keep that grin firmly in place. Porno Poltergeist is a nice slice of techno-trance hybrid stuff that’s suitable for all dancefloors, and Muddyterranian completes things providing a nice 2-step / breakbeat return to (ab)normality. It’s a genuinely different album, with plenty happening, and it should keep everybody happy and paranoid all summer long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eat me Posted August 17, 2002 Share Posted August 17, 2002 compared to the last album this one sucks shit. What a dissapointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Reflekshun Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 OK - This album is one of the VERY few albums i would class as something special - VERY special. I always treat this album with respect and play it from beginning to end. If i were only to buy one psy album this year - THIS would be it! The beauty of it is, the amazing flow of the whole album, from track to track, the musical style slowly evolves. Even the KICK! I'm quite sure, the kick slowly evolves, it sounds similar from track to track, but takes a journey throughout the album - As the music does with it. These guys have matured so much since their last album. Can i tell you mp3 guys, this album will be wasted if you get one or two 'killer' tracks - you MUST listen from beggining to end without gaps, so BUY it - you will get full enjoyment from it that way. The album begins with a stunning intro, that evolves progressively necton style and into the first slow dubby track which is still very danceable i think, and this evolves into the second, faster dubby track. finally, this one flows into the first dancefloor - submachine, and when the bass drops on this one - WHOOOO! I think these slower tracks build up the BEST anticipation, it's the absolute MADDEST idea!! because when the dancefloor track drops, you just go nuts! a great album to startup a party.. 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nico Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Good album but not as much as the last one, which was really perfect!!! But this one is not very innovating, nothing very creative and new...as usual with Necton, good bassline, regular and deep, good drums, ...but not an exceptional album, on the other hand, a good journey to listen straight, not to mix...
