About Dehli 9
Product Description A sublime collection of music, the 2003 CD by Richard Dorfmeister & Rupert Huber is full of uptempo beats with a downtempo feeling, grooves in soft satin, spliff tunes with lyrical extravagance, & piano-pieces in a dub style. There's musical diversity gal Amazon.com While Richard Dorfmeister will always be remembered along with Peter Kruder for the now-classic 1998 downtempo record The K&D Sessions, both Kruder and Dorfmeister have given over substantial time since then to and Tosca, their respective "side projects." Dehli9 isn't quite in the class of Tosca's best work (namely, 1999's Suzuki), but it's still hypnotically impressive, using cyclic beats, lazy electronics, and a few choice vocalists to induce an active dream state. "Rolf Royce," featuring Stephan Graf Hadik Wildner's druggy vocal swoops, pits long melodic phrases against a staccato bassline to create a nice flow, while 's laconic style matches up well with the jazzier textures of "Wonderful." Fans of minimalism will want to investigate a bonus CD included with the record from Tosca's other member, fellow Austrian and like-minded beathead Rupert Huper. Based on an earlier piece from Huper titled "12 Easy-to-Play Piano Pieces," it's a somber, icily beautiful song cycle. Like late afternoon sunshine on a hazy winter's day, Dehli9's elegant and haunting mixture lingers in the background, barely holding onto the day as whatever light seeps through slowly fades to shadow. --Matthew Cooke Review Since 1997, Richard Dorfmeister has released three times as many albums as Tosca, a "side project" with school chum Rupert Huber, than he has with Peter Kruder. Yet even though Kruder & Dorfmeister havent put out much material since 1998s heavily blunted Sessions mix compilation, Tosca is still seen as Dorfmeisters second priority. Despite Toscas supposed part-time status, the projects not suffered for full attention, as the Viennese duos highly detailed Dehli9 suggests. Dehli9 continues Toscas air of extended interludes over the course of two discs of music to wile away with. The first CDs 10 tracks are gently brushed from a familiar palette fluid amalgams of curling ambient, acoustic and dub-swept snare shuffle while the second, surprisingly, contains 12 sparse smoky piano compositions courtesy of Huber. Tosca compositions easily transition in, out and between cited influences Brian Eno and Horace Andy, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Paul Simon, coupling and cuddling. Featuring more vocals than past albums, Dehli9 still doesnt demand attention, yet it maintains interest once it has you. A tinge less wistful, even more wafting, the songs have more movements but without additional friction. The crystalline cosmopolitan creep is gentle sun-kissed sparkle to Kruder & Dorfmeisters shadows; organic but efficient, equally reflective of and reflected off field and stream; glass, concrete and chrome; vivid drone and lucid dream. Whether peering longingly out a window or pouring pensively over a photo album, appreciating art, architecture or a lovers contours, Dehli9 is the immaculately coifed sound of wasted time well spent.
