Review

The first of what producer/composer William Orbit has described as his "binary" recordings for 2006 (this component arriving in February, the altogether different Cellcloud in May), Hello Waveforms is a work of subtle charms, brainy noodlings, and no landmark tracks. It yields understated pleasures to listeners itching to hear smartly conceived chillout electronica that evokes serenity minus lethargy (witness the percolating atmospherics of "Sea Green" and the richly textured headphone sojourn of "Who Owns the Octopus"). Yet while the overall experience is inherently enjoyable, some of Orbit's synth voices sound weirdly dated, as though an analog Moog (or Casio keyboard) had been revived to create some of the textures that swirl through his otherwise sophisticated sound fields. At such moments fans might envision this much-respected self-described "knob-twiddling producer chap" wearing an throwback athletic jersey as he injects Atari music into a PlayStation world, then packaging it all quite appropriately with a semi-psychedelic go-go fairy on the disc's cover. Often lovely, occasionally tepid, with nine instrumentals and two vocal tracks that more often float and meander rather than pulse and evolve, the slow-tempo Hello Waveforms stands as an intriguing project that has the ability to both engage and perplex fans of this sagacious studio wizard. --Terry Wood
