ROLLERBALL
Bathing Music (Road Cone)

The cool thing about this album is that you can never really tell where these songs or going, or at least I can't. Melancholic ambience is broken up by waves of sampled protest singing, while layers of mismatched rhythm tracks collide against each other, eventually changing the pace of the entire song. The entire CD is recorded beautifully, with stark piano sequences set against liquid-sounding effects and violin music, shimmering vocals that fade in and out of the forefront-God know what they're singing about, as the music's way too wonderfully distracting to actually sit and try to contemplate lyrics.
