Villalobos Remix)
Minimal still
divides people. It’s all about the groove and ride, but so much of it descends
into self-indulgence that it can be difficult to see a beginning and an ending.
It often lacks muscle, too frequently spiraling up its own spiral sphincter of
linear monotony. Heard out, it needs more stamina, in isolation more
flourishes. I generalize inasmuch as I believe it’s often one person’s word
against another in such circumstances and there’s a time and a place for
everything. The Vilod remix of ‘Uncertain Grace’ falls into the category I
like; it has drive, a purpose and versatility. It’ll soak up anything layered
with it and peak at the right moments. Stepping away from Max Loderbauer,
Ricardo Villalobos interpretation of ‘Maria’ is in a category all of its own,
and while you won’t catch me dancing to it, I may read a few Edgar Allen Poe
poems to its accompaniment.
