Voyage Hector

A smorgasbord album, the cast list includes Bjork, Siouxsie Sioux, Brendan Perry, and long-term sidekick Barbera Googan. As expected, the mood is cold, often somber in tone. Only on "The Long Voyage," a springy ditty fronted by Suzanne Vega and John Cale, does the album ascend from the depths. Some of the gloom works, like in "Havet Stomar," a brilliant slow burner with B.J. Cole's pedal steel guitar and ECM artist Lene Willemark's chilling howls. "Annukka Suaren Neito" presents what must be the closest to an Eskimo rap you can get. Mark Isham provides freestyle trumpet that almost sounds like seagulls swooping the skies. The Jane Siberry-fronted "She Is Like the Swallow" is a beauty, as soft as it is light. Hector Zazou's electronics are in fine check too. The canvas expands to new textures, such as metallic percussion in "Adventures in the Scandinavian Skin Trade".

Iconoclastic Belgian composer Hector Zazou is renowned for his collaboration with an eclectic variety of artists. And each and every one of his albums is a sort of voyage and adventure. On L’absence, his latest offering to date, Zazou set himself an existentialist challenge, trying to record an album where he was "there without being there." "I wanted to make an album that was smooth and enjoyable to listen to, something you could put on as background accompaniment while eating a meal." Bon appétit!
