Sharp

Few others besides avant-garde composer/instrumentalist Elliott Sharp could record a collection of blues songs and make them sound like a new genre altogether, a sort of blues/folk/jazz/new age sound with droning keyboards, slinky reverbed vocals, sinuous guitar parts, and angstful horns. The album is by turns haunting, sexy, volatile, and soothing

Ten Sharp is a Dutch band, sometimes labeled as a one-hit wonder group, because they are best known for their early 1990s hit song "You", a hit in some European countries in 1991 and in others (such as the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 10) in 1992. The two band members are Marcel Kapteijn (vocals) and Niels Hermes (keyboards). On May 13 of 2000, the band released a compilation album with 5 new songs. The singles Beautiful and Everything were released for this album. The hit single 'Beautiful' was number one on the Argentinean charts.

The results on this two-track double-disc are nothing less than transcendental, and the two have found a good balance between urgency and ambience up in Sharp's San Francisco studio. Disc one, a single piece called "Interdimensional Communication," pulses along with analog warmth and gloom as if it were the background music to a great sci-fi novel. The second disc, titled "A Long and Perilous Voyage," proves that no song is too long if it has a good groove, and vaguely tips its hat to the sort of ambient work that Brian Eno has been doing for years. Namlook is the Bill Laswell of electronics; he puts out so many recordings that sometimes he has to rely on outside contributions to provide inspiration. Disc two is clearly a showcase for Jonah Sharp, who shines here more than on some of his more recent solo work, like "Emit Ecaps"…

Under The Water-Line is the debut album from the Dutch band Ten Sharp and contains the hit singles "You", "Ain't My Beating Heart" and "Rich Man". The album was released in March 1991 with 7 tracks, but by the time "You" became a national hit the album was expanded in April of the same year with three new songs to make it a full 10-tracks album. The album itself entered the top ten in Norway, Sweden, Austria and Switzerland…

Fax veteran Tetsu Inoue and newcomer Jonah Sharp produced this 1994 album of the trademarked sound of Fax - soft and spacey rhythms. The album mostly depends on the 47-minute "Morphing Cloud" which is fantastic and epic but rather spacious and seems stretched out to fill its running time. Sharp's quirky electronic noises and Inoue's spacey background ambience are indeed lush and dramatic but somewhat light and thinned out, with some moments that disrupt the blissful mood and put you on edge. "Replay" is an eerie interlude with a back-and-forth melody that serves as a kind of purgatory to wait through before "Floating Sync.", the fully-realized effort of this collaboration, comes in. With rich melodies, bass, gorgeous ambient background and harmonized vocal samples, this is the only instance you'll get of the two putting their full genius at work.
