简介
by Alex Henderson Arguably, Oscar Gaetan & Ralph Falcon -- collectively known as Murk -- have been to '90s and 2000s dance，club music what Dr. Dre has been to West Coast hip-hop: producer，writers who have one eye on the mainstream and the other on the underground. They won't be mistaken for the ultra-slick Stock, Aitken and Waterman team, but they don't confine themselves to rave music's lunatic fringe either. A n 65-minute dance，club mix that Murk provided for Tommy Boy in 2003, this self-titled release is a rewarding example of their ability to balance mainstream and underground considerations. This mix is about the beat, but it's also about vocal personality -- and that certainly sets it apart from the totally underground dance collections that are strictly for the rave crowd. Gaetan & Falcon get the CD off to a very accessible start with the familiar &Some Lovin',& which features singer Kristine W., and favors a conventional verse，chorus，verse，chorus song structure. And they continue in that vein whether they're featuring Greg &Stryke& Chin on &Time,& Jennifer Carbonell on &Doesn't Really Matter,& or Tamara Wallace (of Funky Green Dogs fame) on &True& and &Believe.& But things take a more underground turn toward the end of the CD with tunes like &Afro-Cuba& and &Baba-Sulei,& which aren't as accessible by pop standards. In a sense, hearing this CD is like attending a concert by a mildly avant-garde jazz musician who has an inside，outside perspective -- the sort of improviser who might pull you in with an inviting Duke Ellington melody before going on to challenge you with some free-form outside playing. For Murk, an hour-plus dance mix is all about timing and pacing -- and their pacing is excellent on this captivating release.
