2006 Reissues WeekFennesz - Endless Summer
Endless Summer might be the most accessible inaccessible record ever. Put out of print by the slow demise of the Mego label it was released on, it is being reissued this month. Though the the record is not as immediately revolutionary as Fennesz's earlier Hotel Paral.lel, Endless Summer is all shimmers and shivers, a cool buzz hovering over a dying pop landscape. Though it isn't for everyone, there's something very unsettling, yet very human, about Fennesz's work. It's life, maybe, and it's what separates his work from so many other experimental producers.
i find myself coming back to this album way more often than i would expect.
