Amazon.com's Best of 1998

Listening to Labradford's Me Media Naranja is like eavesdropping on the dream music of the American cowboy. Echoing, watery guitars float over the open, dusty range of the mind. A waxy organ and percussive bells flesh out the atmosphere while each song seamlessly carries on the soundtracklike tradition of its predecessor. The small, whispering voices and relaxing, risqué melodies survive in the soul long after this eerie music has ceased. An absolute ambient classic. --Karen Karleski

Amazon.com

With slippery, twangy guitars that would make John Barry or Ennio Morricone smile, LaBradford have always suggested the cinematic rather than the bombastic. Eschewing drums, their latest Kranky release pits their spy-guitar aesthetic against long repetitive loops of retro-jazz keyboard, lazy cello, droning church organ, and sampled machine noise. The tunes are titled quixotically as well: Track one, "S"--an aquatic journey through a spaghetti Western oasis--leads into track two, "F"--an eight-note mantra that repeats as glassy slide guitar and a hushed, backwards voice intimate the David Lynch of Lost Highway and Twin Peaks. Never losing a sense of mystery and what Gaston Bachelard called "the poetics of space," LaBradford is the rock band most likely to succumb--to the fever of the unknown, the madness of the infinite. --James Rotondi

Exquisite..........2006-02-24

I only have Fixed:content and this one and I love them both dearly.

Track# 7 on this CD is just so heavenly...it stirs something so subtle within me I want to cry. Just gorgeous.

Highly recommended to those who like the feel of a dreamy, hot ghost town abandoned to the decay of timelessness in the middle of nowhere...

squeal.......2006-02-02

so far i'm liking this album, but i agree about that insane high-pitched migraine-inducing squeal. a tip from a friend: rip the CD to mp3s, open them all in an audio editor (i used the free Audacity -- see audacity.sourceforge.net) and run a low-pass filter over them with a cutoff frequency of 13kHz. boom, squeal gone. probably not what the artist intended, but the artist apparently intended for me to bleed from the ears, so the subversion is quite alright by me.

Great music that is rendered unlistenable.......2002-10-02

Having heard low-quality samples of this cd, i rushed to buy it, eager to enjoy it in full cd-quality sound. All was good for a few seconds and then I knew I had wasted my money.

As wonderfully atmospheric and emotive the guitar music is, there is an extremely high-pitched pinging tone that is played constantly through most of the tracks. Not "high-pitched" as in chimes, but high-pitched as in "only dogs are supposed to hear squeals like this". Some reviewers have called this an artistic alternative to conventional rhythmic accompaniment, I call it ear-splitting annoyance.

Now I am no stranger to dissonant compositions, having a decent collection of cacophonous 20th century classical works, but this element completely ruins the album for me. I suppose one could eventually learn to tolerate the noise, but you would never be able to listen to it in the company of others. My hopes are that eventually, with old age, my hearing will deteriorate and I wont be able to hear noises that high in frequency. Either that, or you could go through the long process of copying the album to a computer, digitally stripping the upper frequencies and copying it onto CDR.

Potentially magnificent music, but BUYER BEWARE!

This one sticks........2002-09-29

I would suggest ignoring the likenings of this to music of the American west as suggested by the editorial reviews. I've had this record for a year and I never had that impression. This music is too unique for such a general comparison.
I say the record sticks because I've had it for a year and I still love this record, still find it a powerful experience that increases in depth with each listen. Its an ambient record, though, without question- and thereby essentially background music. But, given that, its the kind of music that I put on when I want to read on a rainy day- and, its perfect for that, in my opinion. And sooner or later, the music gently starts to seep into your consciousness. This is music that will follow you around if you give it the opportunity. The record is an experience that doesn't end when your speakers go quiet. *Highly* recommended.

Where it all began.......2006-01-13

The first record Kranky put out, and still one of the best. Beautiful, strange, and haunting, it grabs your attention right from the start. This is slow and mesmerising (but never boring), and it sets the standard, both in terms of sound and quality, that subsequent Kranky bands will have to live up to. And although very few of these songs could be considered songs (at least in the traditional sense), they all have enough tension and drama to keep you interested. It's no wonder that Labradford, along with Low and GYBE, is one of the few Kranky bands to have achieved at least a measure of success and acclaim.

so lost and mesmerizing.......2004-04-11

for about four or five years after this record came out, it was in my DJ bag almost every time. Nine years later, I'm still turning people onto it, and they still come up and ask what is this beautiful darkness. Some tracks are just stunning monolithic noise (an excellent homeopathic remedy for a crushing headache), while others are graceful wistful songs. No disrespect to the bass player, but I kind of wish he had never joined the band, or at least generally taken a more minimal role; after this record they generally fell into structures built on his slow arpeggios, and something was lost. Here it's just a duo, and it is absolutely perfect chemistry. Listen in Depth will always be a masterpiece, and C of People will always take me away. Do yourself a huge favor and get to know this record. When you want an example of the real potential of sound, you'll have one of the best.

Quiet beauty.......2002-12-03

Kranky Records has, in a few short years risen from nothing to become the dominant label in the minimalist/ambient music world, bringing music that doesn't "rock" to a much greater audience than it previously had. And the label was, essentially, created in order to release the first Labradford record: the Prazision LP. And now, because of this record, bands like Low, Stars of the Lid, Sigur Ros and godspeed you black emperor have a place on the map.

The record, itself, is a masterpiece of subtlety. At points barely audible whooshes and drones accompany clicks and pops, while at others, ethereal feedback cries over the top of their Spectoresque soundwash. The Prazision LP does not always make itself easy to predict, but there is an underlying driving force that will take a listener (headphoned or not) on a journey.

Although Labradford's most recent records have strayed more towards traditional song structures and accessible chord patterns and their instrumentation follows a standard rock band allotment, Labradford still remain at the heart of the experimental ambient scene: more in line with Autechre than Tortoise.

For fans of subtlety and grace, the Prazision LP is an essential part of a music collection.

These Other Reviewers Have No Idea..........2002-04-11

All these reviewers keep saying "they don't know why they like it," well firstly you gotta be stupid to buy something you aren't familiar with or something you're not sure you like. Even more stupid is how you'd write a review about such an incredible band give it four or five stars and then say you don't know why you like it. This is sheer genius, ambient, mesmerising work by Labradford. Atmopsheric, INCREDIBLE work. Labradford is an brilliant band and they really deserve 5 out of 5 on this awesome CD. Buy it!! It'll change your perspectives on a lot of things. It's incredible...

Gently oppressive...........2001-09-19

As the other reviews have mentioned, I really cannot
explain my fascination with this album. I bought it
after seeing them open for Stereolab (my favorite band
of all time) here in Chicago, spiritual home to both.
They played one song for 45 minutes, and I was hooked.
They do the depression/drone thing better than any
band I've heard, and this album, although I own almost
all their stuff, is, to me, their penultimate album
(followed REALLY closely by A Stable Reference).
The ambient washes evoke some sort of calming/dread
that makes me continue to want to see what they are
up to with subsequent releases. I will have to say,
Kranky records from Chicago is probably my favorite
record label (followed closely by Thrill Jockey, also
from Chicago). I've never heard anything BORING
released from that label or that band, and although I'm
slightly saddened that Low got dropped by their pseudo-
major label, I'm GLAD that they are now releasing under
Kranky. And a band to rival Labradford on the label
recently is the superb Godspeed You Black Emperor.
Back to the album....."Gratitude" is quite a kick
for what it is (shout outs), but to me, the track that
really does it for me is Soft Return. I would compare
it to the Joy Division track "Atmosphere" in terms of
a blurb I read from the Trouser Press Record Guide
calling that song "Gently Oppressive". The same can
be said for Labradford. It is mood music for those
disenchanted individuals for whom the process of day
to day life has become tiresome and mundane (isn't that
ALL of us?). It is music that speaks directly to your
soul, and you realize that this time in which we live
tends to be a bit beyond your grasp. Listen to this
album, then watch the film Safe directly afterwards.
It's an epiphany waiting to happen.

Thank the heavens I live near Chicago!

For new people, get this album after Mi Media Naranja.......2005-06-22

Not an introductory piece for people new to Labradford but nevertheless a grand album of beauty that comes from almost simplicity itself. Piano lines and guitar motiffs float around on the album without ever becoming grounded and the listener should benefit greatly from listening to this album with headphones on in a comfy chair. So soothing and calming, even more-so than other Labradford releases. Electronics permeate through the piano and penetrate the mind with clicks and subtle static sounds.

I cannot review each track as the album is a whole package than individual pieces. But for those looking for relaxation then I would recommend this, for those interested in Labradford I would recommend Mi Media Naranja or Fixed::Content first then this one and the others.

El Luxo So What?.......2004-12-12

A beautiful album this is, but is it, as another reviewer said, ahead of it's time? Not a chance. Thirty years ago, Neu recorded the sixth track on this album on their disc "Neu '75." The rest of Labradorford's music is a rehashing of Neu-ish Krautrock minimalism from the mid-70's. Nothing against Labradorford, but in my opinion, it was fresher and better the first time around. Check out Neu, and if you like it, try Faust's IV as well. Now THAT was ahead of its time.

one of the best ambient/minimal albums of all time.......2002-08-29

being that this is such a short album by today's standards, clocking in at just over thirty-nine minutes, i will keep my review relatively short as well: minimal ambient heaven pressed onto aluminum.

this noteworthy virginia-based trio craft their pieces using pianos, organs, strings, guitars, found sounds, and occasionally employ minimal tick-tocking electronic sequences, but the origins of the sounds are lost to the listener as s/he ascends with the music into a timeless aether. fragile, perhaps slightly melancholy, the mood here isn't dark as much as it is meditative and peaceful.

the slow pace of the songs, along with the sparse arrangements, illuminate one of the most precious aspects of minimal and ambient music: the spaces between the notes share equal importance with the sounds themselves. these pieces often hint at a melodic songiness that lingers with you long after you've finished listening. track #6, in particular, is a gorgeous way to finish this album.

if you only buy a handful of ambient albums in your life (and you should), this ought to be one of them.

One of Labradford's best........2002-08-13

This is one of Labradford's most incredible releases in line with Prazison, A Stable Reference, Labradford (s/t) and Mi Media Naranja. However, I noticed Amazon.com didn't print the correct track listing for E Luxo So.

GREAT ALBUM!! GET E LUXO SO NOW, the highlights have to be, "Let O' Steen," "and Jonathan Morken," and "by Chris Johnston."

Atmospheric, transcendant.......2001-10-03

I bought this album as a result of previous reviews I had read. I am new to the "post-rock" genre and from first listen I am impressed. I had recently only delved into Godspeed... and was looking for something a bit like it yet distinguishable on its own.

This album can be very sparse at times and at others very dense. Their use of effects at the correct times enhances moods and enables the listener to step outside the usual "aural" boundary.

At times, this is reminiscent of Steve Reich and at others similar to Brian Eno. Both of their influences can be heard here. Don't get me wrong, this is no easy listen. Someone who is looking for radio-friendly, melodic-based music will not find what they are looking for. These are soundscapes and should be regarded as such. Then again, you probably would not have wound up here looking for any typical radio-friendly material.

It's good to know that musicians can still experiment and make enough to eat. Bravo to Labradford. I look forward to their purchasing their other releases in the near future.

Inspiring........2003-02-06

This is one of the simgle most inspiring albums I own. Some albums have an unexplainable connection to a person, this one has that with me. I have listened to it consistantly for years and it hasn't lost any luster, only gained in depth. If you like ambient music, you basically can't go wrong. Every single time I listen to this album I just wanna close my eyes and float, and that's exactly what it sounds like.
-Joel Eckert

Another gem.......2002-12-03

In this age of post-grunge sound-alike mediocrity, it's refreshing to look at a band that has been forging new territory with every record. On A Stable Reference, their 2nd, Labradford takes the bare bones approach from Prazision LP (their debut) and adds, of all things, warmth.

The tracks on A Stable Reference rely heavily on warm, gliding basslines that guide the development of the songs through the numerous additions and subtractions of elements. And it's this bass that makes this record a very pleasant surprise for anyone who may have thought that Labradford was too ambient.

Where the stripped down beauty of the Prazision LP was all about subtlety, A Stable Reference puts the focus on adding hooks and grooves to the clicks, pops and drones.

Needless to say, though, this is still a Labradford record, so the groove that is present is definitely not the type that will fill a dancefloor, but it will certainly engage the listener and, quite likely, be just the thing to bring Labradford to a new audience.

Almost at Their Greatest.......2002-10-23

When you line this up perfectly with their last release in 1993, "Prazision LP" (which is excellently done) you get a concept floating.

Somewhere inside those intricate cravesses, cold summer nights on the lake and warm afternoons in the woods, I find this album to be the perfect companion. You launch into different things (your own outer space) with the title track, "Mas" and then float into a landscape fresh and new filled with great things in "El Lago" which tunes in a slpit second into the deep, beautiful, tearful track of "Streamlining," which allows us to stare at the stars from a canoe in the nighttime.

"Banco" whips in at track 4 with a NEW day feeling which eventually drops COMPLETELY into a world of dark flaming spookiness in the opposite track, "Eero." As that drones in and out "Balanced on its own Flame," comes in as sort of a NEW level or chapter allowing us to submerge in the new world as track 7's "Star City, Russia" almost completely duplicates the preceding.

"Comfort" shines through the windows in track 8 and then drops us back into insanity with its ending piece, "Sedr77." I listen to this album almost as much as I do with the Prazision LP.

Other great discs to check out for MORE outer world music is Stars of the Lid's "Ballasted Orchestra," "Tired Sounds," or "Gravitational Pull vs. The Desire for an Aquatic Life." Labradford have some other terrific mind music albums available from kranky.net and I love and own all of them. BUY "A Stable Reference," its really a shame nobody's reviewed such a fine album yet.

Ah, Labradford: their reputation recedes them. Since their inception in Richmond, Virginia, in the early 1990s, this studious American trio has faithfully followed their muse into quieter sonic realms, dead set on paring down their hushed drone. The band's sixth album brings them crashing back to earth. Where its predecessor, 1999's E Luxo So, explored spaced-out cosmic dub soundscapes, this is the sound of Labradford returning from the outer planes and delving into windswept Americana. The opening, "Twenty," consists of 18 minutes of mournful digi-country: think of the Twin Peaks theme played while sitting in a rocking chair. The following three tracks bring Fixed::Context to a coma-inducing 37 minutes in length, at which point one is left with a nagging suspicion that nothing's actually happened. Which just indicates that Labradford are nearing a state of conceptual perfection where they're as quiet as they are magnificent. --Louis Pattison

Album Description

Sixth album from the Labradford trio, who have been defying explanation and expectations since 1993. The group has earned comparisons to Morricone, Gavin Bryars, Ry Cooder and Arvo Part. Wire magazine says 'their melancholy is enormously seductive'. 4 tracks recorded and mixed with Steve Albini. Standard jewel case. 2001 release.

Customer Reviews:

Music that you knew in the womb, or earlier..........2003-10-18

It's profound in its sublime simplicity. Like floating in a sonic bath until you get just the right temperature and weightless feeling, your mind starts to drift into that land between waking and sleeping, lids half-shut. You're officially ready to have an AHA moment! (no, not the group, the realization...) It reminds one of Brian Eno circa 1978, only focused more on real instruments. The soundstage could be these three musicians standing about 100 yards apart from each other on a plain in Nebraska, and your mind will feel more open than that after the first 5 minutes of this disc. If you're the type who can sit still for more than that first five minutes and reflect, you're a lock to buy this. Try it, you'll like it!

Killing me softly..........2001-06-14

I always seem to run across David Lynch references when it comes to Labradford, and I guess they're valid...I, however, keep coming back to Michael Mann and his icy-cold, cobalt blue scenes in stark, cautiously decorated white abstract homes containing glass blocks up the wazoo and an ocean view to die for...Labradford create mood music for those who spend their nights contemplating their immediate surroundings...the art on their walls, the person in bed next to them, the way candle light bounces on the ceiling when the candle is placed under an A/C vent...anything, really...Bastard 60's Nashville and surf guitar teamed with brainy electronic blips and waves makes a disturbing and hypnotic team...Opening with an 18 minute-plus piece takes guts, and requires patience...This band's music blooms...it doesn't happen in seconds...it's meant for a solitary listener...If you have the will power to digest this type of aggressively-lazy music, you can sit back and conjure up countless images in your mind to it...Labradford is not for the antsy...nor is it for those who like to read along with lyrics...there are none...

A better Festival Of Drifting.......2001-05-23

Those who were disappointed with the rather aimless noodling on Labradford's previous "E Luxo So" album can take heart in the assurance that "fixed::context" is a more focused and considered offering, one which does not forsake the luxuriously amorphous drift that the band has cultivated over many years. Indeed, more attention is focused on longer term development than the absolute value of the music at any one time, and the only value in the moment lies in the resonance generated by notes and textures that appear to hang in mid air. Erik Satie would most certainly approve.

wonderful.......2001-04-24

Ever since I met them in Virginia all those years ago, I have been in love with Labradford and the music they make. Their excursions into ambient realms have led to gloriously blissed out lps such as "A Stable Reference," and "E Luxo So."

Their newest effort finds our heroes treading new ground, yet doing so their calming, reassuring way. Their cosmic brand of Americana hearkens back the lost days of youth where we could sit and stare at the stars at night and do absolutely nothing otherwise. The sounds of the earth were our companions and we melded with the world around us.

Sure, it sounds drippy to an extent to liken Labradford's brand of ambient to such things, but listen to them. Their lp's move wonderfully between the quiet drones of ambience to moments of stillness with the music barely perceptable at all. Much like a summer evening with the occasional cricket chirping to offer music to the landscape of silence.

Labradford, as always, succeeds in making their unique brand of ambient music wonderfully satisfying to listen to or to meld with. Another soon to be classic effort by America's foremost masters of ambient music.

Wide open spaces.......2001-04-19

Although it seems peculiar to see Labradford and Steve Albini on the same CD in any capacity, the aesthetic combination here has resulted in 4 songs that are distinctly different than what has come before. In short, Labradford has made another disc of beautiful music without repeating themselves. Any fan will find this a wholly worthwhile experience.
