Editorial review
Continuing the turn of the century trend of '80s nostalgia, New York City electroclash trio 46bliss turn down the genre's modern electronica elements in favor of a near-total immersion in circa-1981 New Order, Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manouevres in the Dark synth-pop styles. What's slightly odd about this album is that unlike a lot of their electroclash contemporaries, David Cooper and Jack Freudenheim don't strive for period accuracy in their arrangements and instrumentation, so that synth lines that sound like they should be played on a Minimoog or a Prophet V are instead handled by state-of-2002 equipment, which gives Pistachio Home an odd, productive tension. The album's one drawback is that of the 15 songs (plus inconsequential remixes of the singles "Hallelujah" and "Boy Behind the Veil"), the most memorable are covers of the Beatles' "Across the Universe" (given an intriguingly psychedelic, almost dub-like treatment) and Melanie's Woodstock anthem "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)." Of the originals, the standout is the excellent "The Road To Mandalay," which marries a soaring melody that sounds like one of Dave Gilmour's Pink Floyd songs to an arrangement with the ambient-pop grace of Brian Eno's "On Some Faraway Beach." Unfortunately, too many other tracks on Pistachio Home sound like rejects from one of those '80s nostalgia compilations. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Meet 46bliss, pioneers of NYC's Ambi-Pop movement whose unique sonic architecture elegantly rises above the East Village din, transcending standard pop expectations.
Pistachio Home, their debut CD on Regular Records, takes you through a world of songs, populated with far-eastern dreams, psychedelic textures, heavenly vocal layers and ambient danceable atmospheres.
David Cooper (singer/synthesist), was inspired by Clare Veniot's haunting Celtic-influenced vocals. Together with Jack Freudenheim, drummer and creator of Sounder, ambient-music generating software, they formed 46bliss after an epiphany at an Indian restaurant.
Pistachio Home features 13 original tracks, plus interpretations of Melanie's Lay Down and The Beatles' Across The Universe.
Their song Anything was recently selected by billboardtalentnet.com from hundreds of bands to be included on the CD compilation "New Talent Spotlight, volume 1.
