商品の説明

Connectivity! Is Mahogany's second full length record. It is the group's most evocative and delicately complex work, employing every instrument, voice, and magic black box within Mahogany's new studio, the Civil Defense. Mahogany's massive, celestial, guitar driven sound is ultimately unique. Connectivity is a two disc set featuring three mixes by Cocteau Twins producer, guitarist, Robin Guthrie, the vocal debut of Lucy Belle Guthrie (daughter of Cocteau Twins Robin Guthrie & Elizabeth Frazier), and three mpeg videos. Cover insert folds out as 14' x14' poster.

越流する幸福感、あくまで都会的な

2013年3月18日に日本でレビュー済み

アルバム全体からマグマのように噴き上がる幸福感。
その幸福感は、しかし恐ろしく無機質だ。歌詞も異常なまでに硬質な印象を受ける。
ボーカルが囁くように、底なしに不安定なメロディーラインを儚げにさまよい続ける。
鍵盤が主体となり、飛び跳ねるようなシンセサウンドが容赦なく幸福感を振りまく。
せわしない。とても無機質で都会的だ。この幸福感は非常に都会的だ。

シューゲイザー的アプローチを見せるバンドの中では屈指のお気に入り。
M83とコクトーツインズ、それにムームが混ざって…これで僅かながらもイメージが掴めるかも？
全曲お薦め！あえて選ぶとすれば…1, 2, 3, 4, 8.....やはり選びきれない。

Kind of disappointing

2010年10月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

I bought this CD on the strength of a couple songs a friend had played me: the moody, beautifully atmospheric "Domino Ladder Beta (Robin Guthrie remix)" and the driving, Joy Division-esque "Supervitesse." These tracks - particularly the former - wed a dense, shimmery, swirling dream pop vibe to memorable and attractive melodies. So I snatched this up, only to find that those songs, along with a couple others, are monumentally better than the remainder of the album. The first song, "Tesselation..." is promising, with a simple but memorable melody repeating throughout while the band builds up a thick dreamy swell accompanied by quiet male/female vocals. The second track, "The View From the People Wall," displays the band's apparent Joy Division fixation with a snappy, bass-driven track and some nice little melodic flourishes. Sadly, elsewhere, the album really breaks down due to an apparent lack of focus and/or enough good ideas to come up with an album's worth of material. As a result, it's frustratingly unfocused, inconsistent, and erratic, and many songs suffer from playing the "spot the obvious influence" game. The happy, stomping, sugar-high "Neo-Plastic-Boogie-Woogie" is a bad Belle & Sebastian rip-off that sounds horribly out of place, and it also shows that Mahogany's male singer can sound uncannily like Stuart Murdoch. "Mantissa" is apparently the band's blatant Broadcast/Stereolab homage, while the bombastic "My Bed is My Castle" sounds like the Arcade Fire given a dream pop bath. "Windmill International A" and "Renovo" are formless blurbs of dense atmosphere that don't really go anywhere, although the latter has potential. Overall, the album is kind of a mess. The two songs that Robin Guthrie produced are among the very best of the album, leaving one to wonder how "Connectivity" might've benefitted had he produced the whole thing. What drives this point home is the fact that also included on the album is the original, non-Guthrie-produced "Domino Ladder Beta," which is quite inferior to the Guthrie version. Ultimately, there *are* a few gems here, but what could've been an outstanding EP fails as a wildly inconsistent full-length. Proceed with caution.

Connectivity! - European Supercreativity

2008年8月29日にカナダでレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Recently Europe seems to hold the brightest torch that lights the path ahead. Socially, politically and definitely... culturally. Mahogany's "Connectivity!" evinces this beautifully.

Nowhere here is there the jaded and materialist smugness or nihilism that largely dominates North American popular music. Europe with it's vast cultural heritage keeps rising, phoenix-like, in ever new forms that drives the Western mind FORWARD. While North America, schizophrenically tears itself in two, Europe, ever deft, takes extremes and merges them in fascinating hybrids.

And this is what you find in "Connectivity!", the connectivity of a vast array of elements, over-seen with a both a Pop - Artistic vision that entertains, delights, fascinates and uplifts.

Right away, the CD, with it's massively glorious opening "Tesselation" lifts one up in a gigantic swoop into clear blue skies that glories in the present and offers a completely optimistic view of upcoming horizons. There is no romance for the past but an almost mystical revelling in all the technicalities of the present age. It's sciences, instead, are not seen not as dystopian but filled with promise for a future where we incorporate our achievements while retaining our joy in creativity. "Supervitesse" soars with real strength into a glittering, utopian future, "weightless, luminous". From there on "Connectivity!" keeps it's forward movement, freshness and originality. Each track is a bright surprise and a delight. There is so much variation in song style and structure that "Connectivity!" never once loses interest or fascination - these folk are shimmeringly brilliant. Songs range from the speedy clip of "Supervitesse" to the moody, experimentalism of "Domino Ladder Beta". All of it fits into the grander vision of a kind of "Technological Future Romance".

The music is largely pop-formatted in structure but each track offers unique creations with so many odd twists and articulations while always retaining it's "new morning" paradigm. There is more creativity in this CD than I've heard in dozens of releases in the past few years.

Influences and associations abound, some of them at first surprising, which is quickly followed with a big "of course". Once again Robin Guthrie, mastermind of the Cocteau Twins, appears, producing and guiding the proceedings masterfully. His influence and contribution greatly flavour "Connectivity!" adding great sonic sweep to many of the tracks. Yet this is not merely "New Millenium Cocteau Twins". Mahogany have a great deal of their own originality. Guthrie just facilitates and illuminates it.

There are moments on the CD that smack of Ray Davies ( The lead vocal on "Neo-Plastic Boogie-Woogie" - with it's Beach Boys/ Association chorus at the end ), Elizabeth Fraser-esque vocals on "My Bed is My Castle" and "Springtime, Save Our Country", and Sarah Cracknell-like singing on the very St. Etienne "Renovo". Imagine, if you will, Talking Heads as mystically/scientifically influenced Europeans circa "Remain in Light" and you start to approach the great rythmic and structural versatility of Mahogany. And of course there are tints and strokes of the Cocteaus, as well.

Mahogany appears to be a collaborative of about 13 people but focused by a core of 3 or 4. The music is anchored and propelled wonderfully by an almost Chris Squire Rickenbacker bass that at times takes the position of main instrument to great effect ( "Supervitesse", "Domino Ladder Beta" and "The View From the People Wall".) Gorgeous washes of guitar textures, lush mellotrons and musically focused synthesizer tonalities abound. The orchestration is magically diverse and features both instruments and electronica in a multi-coloured tapestry, all tastefully and artfully placed.

Some good companion artists to this CD: Ulrich Schnauss, Spiritualized ( '92), Xymox ( '91), Talking Heads ( '80), Cocteau Twins.

"Connectivity!" is really, really fine Euro-Art Music, at its best!
