| | Album notes | Personnel: Howie B. (vocals, keyboards, programming); Jeremy Shaw (strings, keyboards); Jony Rock Star (keyboards, programming); Mat Ducasse.Engineers include: Howie B. Howard Bernstein made his name with production and engineering credits for Soul II Soul, Bjork, Goldie, Tricky, and Massive Attack. Occasional recordings as Skylab (with Matt Ducasse) and Old Scottish solidified his reputation as a beatsmith to be reckoned with. But Howie B. threw a curveball with 1996's MUSIC FOR BABIES, the first album released under his own name. Instead of the high-tech, sample-laden instrumental hiphop that many expected, BABIES was an aqueous, abstract tribute to the soundworld of his newborn daughter, Chilli. The title track's fragile piano-plinking ambience--reminiscent of Brian Eno and Harold Budd--is something of a red herring. BABIES has plenty of beats simmering beneath its limpid atmospheres. There's enough rhythmic drive to propel BABIES into the catchall "triphop" category, but the emphasis is on mood, melody, and mixing finesse. Bernstein layers keys and effects to create drowsy, dreamy textures for the hiphop undercurrents of "Cry," "Allergy," and "Here Comes The Tooth." The vibe-and-trumpet spangled "How To Suckie" and "On The Way" are especially masterful feats of studio legerdemain. Subdued yet seductive, BABIES will charm listeners of all ages.
| | Editorial reviews | 7 (out of 10) - ...blunted sounds....The Smoky drum'n'bass that nods the heads of beat junkies everywhere is...to be found slouching around for much of BABIES....when the disparate ingredients gel together...this album...starts to walk...
NME (02/24/1996)
...Eno fans will love MUSIC FOR BABIES....the majority of tracks on this album are less songs than they are musical soundscapes, though beats are subtly woven throughout the album. Relaxingly ambient but never boring...
Option (11/01/1996)
...a hippy record. Oh yes. And it's going to make a lot of the Right People positively wince....MUSIC FOR BABIES was inspired by the birth of Howie's daughter and is clearly an attempt on Howie's part to evoke the perfect stillness of a womb-like existence....too secure to be cerebral but far too beautiful to ever be bland.
