Music reviews of Random Album Title
Music Review: Deadmau5 - Yet Another Classic.
Rating: 5 Stars
Introduction
Random Album Title is a compilation of the work of Deadmau5 over the last few years. Interestingly, it still follows the standard vibe of Deadmau5, but the album most definitely has a bit of a newer sound that characterizes it. Deadmau5 has been in the music scene for quite some time, and his experience in the technosonic music genre is apparent with every track on this album. The techno house mixed with electro and synth funk makes this discography musically rich and offers something new to electronic music.
Background
Random Album Title, according to Amazon, is one of the most popular albums on the progressive charts since its release. The album utilizes a variety of musical beats, creating distinct, individual tracks that work well with the other tracks on the album. All of the tracks together form a coherent whole and provide the listener with a large amount of musical variety in progressive music. However, the album still follows Deadmau5' characteristic approach to modern electronic music and any Deadmau5 fan can instantly identify it.
On the other hand however, Random Album Title is anything but another modern, instrumental, electronic, synthetic album that blends in with the hundreds produced by DJ's every year. It features tracks that made Top 100 lists in various countries around the world, including both the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Deadmau5 has collaborated with many famous artists, most notably Kaskade, who is featured in a Top 10 single entitled I Remember.
As mentioned earlier, Random Album Title has a variety of layered beats and rhythms throughout many of the tracks. These all create many polyrhythmic tones of beats of different time signatures within individual layers of tracks, which manage to flow together to create cohesive wholes. These tracks are reminiscent of the work of Goa Gil, but at a much more subdued rate. This mellow nature is through the inclusion of soft vocals, as well as electro-synth beats. As such, in my honest opinion, this album is the epitome of the modern progressive music genre; chilled out, yet musically rich and interesting.
Evolution & Historical Influence
The Random Album Title album clearly has a musical foundation in early electronic music, but it simultaneously explores new avenues within the modern progressive - technosonic music genre. Although the use of computers and synthetic beats is prominent, natural elements within the piece are still present, and offer very modern, edgy, and original sounds. Deadmau5 was also able to use a variety of polyrhythms and vocal effects that help to distinguish his music from the masses. Some of the sounds from a variety of tracks can be traced back to the first synthesizers and patched music mixes from the Moog and Buchla era. Furthermore, the album, in standard Deadmau5 fashion, utilizes heavy computer processing, and it reminds of the large amounts of work needed to create Moon by Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Conclusions
In conclusion, Random Album Title, is a very original soundtrack with clear elements from historic electronic music. The album embraces the modern progressive genre, but Deadmau5 still adheres to his characteristic approach to music as he has in his previous work. However, his new album is set apart from past work, because it incorporates collaborations from musical giants such as Kaskade, and features some original tracks that helped Deadmau5 reach fame. All in all, this is Deadmau5' finest album yet, and is most definitely worth every cent.
