Review

Electronica insinuates music into our everyday lives by extruding musical content from unlikely sources--samples of machinery, nature, and other recordings. Having embraced musicians like Autechre and Muzik, one cannot help but hear melodies in fax machines and faulty axles. Scanner pushes the eerie nature of this insinuation by sampling cell-phone conversations (hence his moniker). He then enhances the dialog with haunting, multilayered soundtracks that play off anxieties of surveillance. Often, though, the spoken words' salaciousness distracts attention from well-crafted backing tracks. Delivery rights that wrong by delivering mostly vocalless music. Samples of ringing phones tease the listener, suggesting conversations that never appear. A track titled "Affaire" will please voyeurs, but the relative absence of conversation feeds the fear that Scanner is out there, listening. --Marc Weidenbaum
