Sometimes
you think you have it all figured out, and then an artist like Futuregrapher
comes along and shoots down all you think you know. Okay, I might still know a lot about music
and other topics, and this might not have destroyed all of my knowledge, but it
did take an interesting turn (and then back again) which I really did not see
coming.
The
sound of Futuregrapher begins as electro beats, chipped talking and just
overall fast paced. There is some
saxophone thrown in for good measure, and in some ways this just straddles the
line between good electronic music and hip hop with rhythm. The
drum machine beat continues on as lasers fire and other such sounds occur, but
before long that all changes.
This
tone takes a change for the dark side, as it becomes ambient and the beat fades
away. Actually, the beat doesn’t really
fade away so much as this sort of demon emerges and kills it. Before all is said and done though, the
beats do return and that brings us to the only fitting conclusion.
I’ve
listened to a lot of music and heard a lot of different turns be taken, most of
them for the first, but this is the largest turn in scale that this piece of
music could take without being turned bad and it is just pushed to its absolute
limit. It’s something like the cliché about
getting the most bang for your buck, but yes, this is just a remarkable piece
of music for sure.
