Details
[Edit]The 11th album by the Universal Artist (including an epic seven-disc series of long live and studio improvisations) shuffles between airy ambient soundscapes and more straightforward dream pop tunes. Touchstones include Air, Nobukazu Takemura, Broadcast (especially on catchy little female-fronted pop songs like the lovely, swirling "Microwaves"), Tangerine Dream, Saint Etienne, and (particularly on the burbling, gimmicky instrumental "TV-Shaped") Dazzle Ships-era Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Vocals in French ("Le Temps Passe Tic Tac") and Japanese (the lengthy recitation-plus-music "Emotion Picture") help give the album its international feel. True to the name, the Universal Artist fuses elements of European, Japanese, British, and American electronic music into a smartly constructed whole that transcends the usual endless taxonomies of styles and subgenres. Unlike many similar albums that work as ambient chillout music but dissolve upon closer listening, Smart City is filled with fascinating sounds, clever arrangements, and a few good old-fashioned pop hooks.
