Gaelle - Transient
- Transient is the most perfectly executed album since Moby's Play. I won't go into a track by track analyses in this review, as I fear it would be akin to reviewing the major plot points of The Crying Game right before its theatrical release. However, for the sake of defining what it is I'm suggesting you go and spend your fifteen dollars on, Transient sounds like the love child of Moby and Dido, and vocally the grandchild of Aretha.
I will say that I don't feel the need either, to speak about a single track. It would defeat the purpose I feel of so potent and emotionally consistent an album. This is not a "single oriented" album, neither is Gaelle a "single oriented" artist. She's constructed an album -a word that doesn't carry the same weight as it used to when Pink Floyd or Marvin Gaye were recording- that from the very beginning, to the end of track 12 is engaging and evocative.
I found this CD in the midst of the mess that is the Tower Records "Electronica" section. Though I'm not certain that this label does her justice -not that any label is ever really accurate, I highly encourage all you readers to go out, venture to the back of your respective CD stores into the "Electronica" section and find this album. It's worth your fifteen dollars.
