REVIEW
Released in a first edition of 50 copies, Jacques Beloeil's
The Bath Of Stars was "Made in London in June 2010
with ideas and sketches recorded on cassettes which were
re-discovered in a shoebox." This is the French composer's
third album for the Entr'acte label, and as a newcomer to
his music I for one will certainly be looking back into his
prior works. This is likely to strike you as a completely
irrational album, structured and sequenced in a way that
defies any semblance of sense; divided into three parts
The Bath Of Stars begins with a sub three-minute study of
crackle and CD-skipping aesthetics, before abruptly
introducing an imposing, forty-six minute second part
ushered in by the dialing sounds of an old mechanical
telephone. Thereafter, strange weightless tones and
booming sub-bass drift around listlessly before ultimately
solidifying into a more consistent and testing wave-scape.
The third and final piece marks another departure, opening
with an epic, almost Popol Vuh-like synth-drone clip that
loops and intensifies until from out of nowhere a comical
and cheap sounding MIDI-powered reggae instrumental
fires up. It sounds a bit preposterous in theory, but the
practice is far weirder and wholly more intriguing. Excellent.
