Description/Reviews:
Do not let the cover artwork (or the album title) fool you. “MEMEmusic”, the second album by Unquiet Music Ltd. is anything but silly. Led by french composer JP Rossi and produced by Touch Guitar master Markus Reuter (Stick Men, Devin Townsend), Unquiet Music Ltd. merges the electronic with the organic, the jazz and prog bits with dark ambient, contemporary classical and all around avantgarde music. Guest musicians like King Crimson legends Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto also hint towards some more heady and complex stuff, but that reference doesn’t even begin to cover how much ‘out there’ “MEMEmusic” is. Interestingly enough, mastermind JP Rossi said about it: “This is Unquiet Music Ltd’s mainstream album.” Make of that what you want. I for one think it’s one of the most unique, unorthodox and daring pieces of music to grace (and challenge) my ears in a long time. Some of the dark ambient noise collage parts are hard to get through, but if you make the effort, you are rewarded a thousandfold with some of the most beautiful, otherworldly parts. A class of its own. Unquiet Music indeed. Is this a new genre? Find out for yourself! (Dario at theprogspace.com)
