Album notes
Tortoise: Dan Bitney, David Pajo, Douglas McCombs, John Herndon, Jeff Parker, John McEntire, Bundy K. Brown.Additional personnel: Kira Roessler, Mike Watt.Recording information: 1994 - 2004.With their impeccable musical sophistication, daunting technical chops, and skill at synthesizing disparate styles in innovative ways, it's easy to tag Tortoise as the reigning kings of the so-called post-rock sound. Each of their five studio albums (discounting their one-off, Will Oldham-assisted covers record) is an evolutionary step forward in the band's instrumental amalgam of jazz, electronica, film music, and other styles tangential to conventional rock. But a concentrated listen to Tortoise's 2006 box set, A LAZARUS TAXON, will give any listener--even those well acquainted with band's discography--a renewed appreciation for the scope of their achievement. Comprising three CD's and a DVD, A LAZARUS TAXON rejects a recap of the band's primary releases, focusing instead on singles, EP tracks, and remixes, including the out-of-print release RHYTHMS, RESOLUTIONS, AND CLUSTERS. As a good deal of this material was previously unreleased, the set is a treasure trove for Tortoise fans. The DVD contains videos, short films, and concert footage that emphasize the telepathic nature of the group's taut, improvisation-based interplay. In all, the set testifies to Tortoise's impressive standing as creators of some of the most intriguing, adventurous, and durable "rock" music of the '90s and 2000s.
Editorial reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- If they haven't filtered it through dub, hip hop, avant electronica or space-jazz, then it probably wasn't worth knowingly nodding along to it in the first place.Uncut (p.101) - 4 stars out of 5 -- [I]t delineates the sheer eclectic range of their work, in which elements like hip hop, Gamelan, dub, rock, ambient, folk, musique concrete and lounge are melded with effortless languor.Magnet (p.89) - Sequenced with attention to flow rather than chronology, the first two discs of A LAZARUS TAXON gather every little non-album scrap in the discography....
