Cube Database

Ice Cube has signed with Interscope Records and his first release with the label will be a reissue of his classic album Death Certificate for its 25th anniversary. (The album was originally released on October 20, 1991.) The reissued is out June 9.

He therefore joined Alban Darche and Jean-Christophe Cholet with great pleasure as a co-composer. The idea is to create an original work inspired by Francis Poulenc’s one, to build his “Tombeau”, like Maurice Ravel who created with his Tombeau de Couperin a timeless work, which deeply anchored its author in a French tradition initiated by François Couperin or Jean-Philippe Rameau.

On this 72 minute release from 2000, the band produces some startling electronic music of a particularly ominous nature.
Within seconds of its commencement, this music has plunged you far beyond your world. Deep into space, past Pluto and into mysterious interstellar realms. Here, the melodies tease the quantum particles with their surging sequences, agitating the molecules into dark motion.
This tuneage is seething with numerous pulsations and bass tonalities. The harmonics may be keyboard-driven, but they swarm in a nebula of beyond-ambient electronics that are not unlike the gestation of a proto-star…
