I Went Out Shopping To Get Some Noise
[Hymen]
When you think about the impressive number of Daniel Myer's projects, you may consider him as a prolific and inspired jack-of-all-trades, or you may think he's dissipating a bit too much, as he can offer the best (Haujobb's dark electro) and the worst (Clear Vision phony future-pop, or the trite female vocals of H_M_B). And the new album of his project, Architect, won't help you to decide what he is. Six years after the electronica full of breaks and beats of "Galactic Supermarket", Myer brings out Architect again, in a more rhythmed and more accessible version, but always tinged with the usual "dark" sounds. So indeed, here, Daniel Myer confirms he's versatile as well as very gifted. Yes, it's beautiful, it's well produced and, here and there, there are some good ideas (for instance, an attempt to cover the Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven). But unfortunately, we've got the tedious impression of hearing this "suits all" recipe we now know by heart, as Myer isn't the first coming from the "dark" scene trying to do supposedly more abstract and sophisticated things. This album will content the fans of the genre or the fans of the man, but unfortunately, it won't come out of the limits of this so-called "indus" scene's universe. Shame.
