About Himawari
Amazon.com Any techno outfit worth its weight can move a room, but only the few and the proud, such as Swayzak's James Taylor and David Brown, can create one. Shimmering washes of keyboards buckle and waver like heat-choked air. The wail of an alien patrol car weaves its way around an apoplectic hi-hat. Melodies squelch like mud between the toes one minute, then twitter and hum like insects the next. While there are some fine Motor City minimalist moments to be had, Himawari is a deeper affair than its predecessor, Snowboarding in Argentina. Another notable aspect of this sophomore effort is its dabbling with vocals. Poet Benjamin Zephaniah presides over the dubbed-out skank of "Illegal." J.B. Rose's house-diva shenanigans on "Caught in This Affair" are serviceable, if a bit predictable. It's Kirsty Hawkshaw, however, who steals the show. The woman responsible for the blissed-out coo on 's "Halcyon and On and On" lends some divinity to "State of Grace," the best song Vince Clarke never wrote. --Bob Michaels
