The Flashbulb - Reunion
2005 / IDM, Jazz
IDM as a genre includes quite a large variety of sounds and attributes and so do Benn Jordan's several pseudonyms. I first got to know him in 2011 when I found his 2010 album 'Arboreal', done under name The Flashbulb, which nowadays would probably end up on my top 100 albums. 'Reunion' is his album from 2005 and it's also under the discography of The Flashbulb.
'Reunion' is basically IDM with massive amounts of jazz elements. If you are new to electronic music, this isn't the album to start for it's not an easy album, but when you get a grasp of it you find wonderful jazzy melodies and intriguing beats. In my opinion, the album peaks at 'Sangari 7' which includes a variation of the amen beat, eastern melodies and deep bass slides. I really recommend this album to people who are into jazz, IDM or even classical. If you are new to electronic music, come back to this after listening to some Aphex Twin and Squarepusher, but this isn't something to forget.
