imaginary trip sounds

Doctor Flake é um dj/compositor/produtor, vindo de frança. E acabadinho de saír da sua cartola está o álbum Minder surprises, que se mantém na linha dos seus dois álbuns anteriores (Intervention chirursicale de 2006 e Paradis dirtyficiels lançado em 2007). Ouve-se trip-hop, downtempo e hip-hop abstracto. O seu último trabalho, bem como os anteriores são discos recomendadíssimos. Em Minder surprises parece haver mais maturidade na produção, traz mais orgânica e não sendo apenas um exercício de corte e colagem. Do myspace retirei mais alguma coisa sobre Doctor Flake:

"Doctor Flake is a French producer and composer evolving in the Hip Hop/Abstract/Trip Hop styles like a kind of a musical surgeon, a medical expert of musical cutting. His production started in 2001 by developing his own mainly instrumental musical universe based on already existing materials.
These various extracts are then thoroughly and accurately dismembered and dissected before being reassembled and rearranged to create a new living track. As a legitimate heir to the sampling madness, his production sometimes seems being the fruit of a prostitute and a gothic DJ Shadow. While sampling hidden nuggets he exhumed from dubious forgotten EPs, Doctor Flake carries out a both obscure and dazzling sound, combining mental illness and repressed rage to result in a literally picturesque way.
Paradis Dirtyficiels carries on with the work being undertaken with its first opus Intervention Chirursicale and confirms Doctor Flake..s aptitude to set up subtle musical atmospheres, alternately tragic, emotionally disturbed or full of energy. By doing so he claims his attachment to the original Downtempo tradition. In this new 12 tracks album, Doctor Flake and his sampler succeed in honouring together musical, poetical and movies icons.
These multiple encounters are relayed by accurate melodies of acoustic guitars, atmospheric pianos, leads of guitars and saxophones, scratches, chorus and supported by hypnotical beats and bass."

Fica para ver e ouvir o single Comedy, retirado deste seu último LP e que tem um excelente vídeo.
