Groovemine Review: Mochipet-Chicxulub

Posted by mochipetAugust 22, 2011No comments

I like albums with audacious concepts. Often, though, the music itself is boring, the concept simply serving as a crutch. When I first heard the newest offering by Mochipet (Taiwan-born David Wang), I had no idea that it was a concept album — and I liked it. My point being that good concept albums don’t ever live in the shadow of their concepts: the music is simply enriched by an understanding of the artist’s singular intentions. And in this case, they’re quite singular: Chicxulub, as the press release states, “is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them.”

Chronology is kind of a funny thing. If I had read that ridiculous description before my maiden voyage with the album, the music would definitely have disappointed me. The bombastic concept would have completely drowned out the music, I’m sure. But because I read it after listening to the album, everything instead clicked into place, and all of the elements of the music that I liked made more sense, giving the album a level of narrative depth of which I was previously unaware, appreciative as I was of the record’s epic synth textures. Suddenly the album’s scope, its plodding glitch-hop and huge synths, became panoramic.

Beat Traps: MOCHIPET “CHICXULUB”

Posted by mochipetAugust 17, 2011No comments

Look, I’m only human. As much as I try to keep strict editorial rules in place when I get ready to review an album, if I find out ahead of time that it’s a concept “soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them,” well, you’re already ahead of the game before the needle even hits the wax. Then tell me it follows said dinosaurs as they escape into outer space, only to have their plans thwarted by marauding aliens? Shit, just sign me up as a fan of Mochipet’s CHICXULUB now.

Mochipet’s “Chicxulub” out on 1320 Records today!

Posted by mochipetAugust 16, 2011No comments

The wait is over! ‘Chicxulub’ is now available for purchase-GET IT NOW!

Mochipet’s latest release on 1320 Records ‘Chicxulub’, is the soundtrack for an animated novel in which the Dinosaurs make their way through the impact of the comet believed to have destroyed them. The album starts off with a highly compressed glitch-hop bass number ‘Dinosaur Anthems’ signaling the dark that is arriving along to where ‘Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt’ guides you through Fraggle Rawk-style landscapes in search of the young that are left to live on. The Dinosaurs eventually leave the planet, taking off in their ‘Pterodactyl Spaceship’ to new undiscovered lands. But they do not make it out easily; there are a number of alien life forms that have invaded in ‘The Battle of Dinotropolis’ (Featuring Ben Samples). With everything destroyed all that is left are ‘Fossils’ and our prehistoric creatures are left to find ‘A Home Away From Home.’ So ‘Ghost Ride The Ark’ to Outer Space we go! Whether our Dino friends make it to their new homes is unsure as ‘I Really Don’t Think We Are Ok ACE.’ The Saga is To Be Continued…

Tracklisting:
01) Dinosaur Anthems
02) Yoshi’s Dinosaur Egg Hunt
03) Pterodactyl Spaceship
04) The Battle of Dinotropolis (Featuring Ben Samples)
05) Fossils
06) A Home Away From Home
07) Ghost Ride the Ark
08) I Really Don’ Think We Are Ok ACE
