Sick-E - Caleidoscopic

Artist: Sick-E
Album: Genotype Jazz (2009)
Title: Caleidoscopic


Progress seems to be the very nature of the universe as we know it. All living things are ever moving and hanging, striving for something just a step beyond the horizon. Nevertheless, sometimes it is a good idea to come to a halt in this evolutionary rat race, turn around and ponder how we got here in the first place. This is why Sick-E has been taking some time off his musical flagship that is the Zengineers for a trip down memory lane, resulting in an LP that takes the listener back into the musical past in a number of ways. With Genotype Jazz, Sick-E gives a nod and a bow to the icons of mid-90s triphop that first introduced him to the possibilities of non-analogue music. And in a way quite similar to the likes of DJ Krush, RJD2 or The Herbalizer he also pays homage to the half-forgotten realms of old jazz and funk sounds, wrapped in heart-warming pops and crackles. On a different level, Genotype Jazz also harks back to the first tracks the Zengineers produced as a newly formed team back in 2005. In this spirit the album hovers from moody and atmospheric downtempo beats to re-assembled funkbreaks and back, sometimes even venturing into pop territory, with a distinct jazzy vibe telling you that you are still on track. And of cause at the very end it delivers the obligatory co-production with Zengineers Phour Trakk, linking it all back to the musical present and future.
