Sebastien Roux & Bidibop: Urban Field Muzick Reunion

Former band colleagues Sebastien Roux and Vincent Nicolas have been quietly reunited – by releasing their latest album on the same day with the same title and on the same label. As of now, Sebastien Roux' „Urban Field Muzick“ and Vincent Nicolas' err... „Urban Field Muzick“(under the moniker of bidibop) will be available from Field Muzick. Despite this outward harmony and the obvious thematic similarities, the underlying differences are imanent: On the one hand, Sebastien Roux offers listeners one long composition culled from a sound installation, created for the ososphere festival (held in Strasbourg in September of 2006). In the best Musique Concrete tradition, he binds aural impressions from his past three vacations together, establishing a soft and simmering narrative. On the other hand, Vincent Nicolas merely uses field recordings as starting points for sweet trips into a delicious dreamland. His „ACE Train Song“, for example, seems to take a similar route as Roux, but then adds layers of melody and drones to arrive at a gripping piece of new romanticism. Both publications will as always arrive with the trademark heavy cardboard photocover and as red or black 3'' Mini-CDs.
