专辑简介

---

The test, perhaps, of a club track's ultimate musical worth is to take it off the dancefloor and play it in other environments. Or in the case of Frenchman and electronica aficionado Maxence Cyrin, try playing it on the piano. Yes, the piano.
　　
　　Modern Rhapsodies is a wild idea brilliantly executed. Cyrin's musical instincts are razor sharp, having being honed during his time as a player and/or composer of forms as diverse as techno, classical music and easy listening pop-jazz. He hasn't attempted coverage of all the major electronica and dance music styles; rather he plays solo piano interpretations of some of the tunes that have most moved and inspired him.
　　
　　There's no sheet music to read; Cyrin does it all from memory. The natural pace of an original club track occasionally surfaces, like on "Disco's Revenge" and "Jaguar" which quickly hit a furious stride. More often the mood is reflective, as Cyrin extracts the melodic centre of a tune by Depache Mode ("Behind The Wheel") or Massive Attack ("Unfinished Sympathy") and turns it into a melancholy and intimate kind of chamber music. For the more academically inclined its interesting to see how Cyrin's cover versions lay bare the profound influence of classical minimalism on house, techno and electro music. The repetitive patterns of Felix's house anthem "Don't You Want Me", for instance, sounds like something you might hear from Philip Glass at the piano.
　　
　　This album is a rare and wonderful thing. If electronica with beats has ever meant anything to you - regardless of genre - Modern Rhapsodies is unmissable.
