168: John Talabot // ƒIN

ƒIN John Talabot 2012, Permanent Vacation

My knowledge of contemporary electronic music was basically flash frozen in carbonite somewhere between the years 2010 and 2013, so when I try to talk about what’s going on now I know my face ends up stuck in a stupid expression and that the tortoise shell glasses and white-trimmed American apparel zip hoodie that suddenly cover my rigid body are cosmically stylistically invalid. Fortunately, John Talabot’s ƒIN dropped right in the middle of my flirtation with the genre(s), so I feel okay riffing on it. I was instantly pretty smitten with ƒIN—which is to say it’s in the small canon of electronic releases I’ve spent enough time with to love, and that therefore I continue to slip tracks from it into my wacker-by-the-year playlists on the rare occasions I get the aux at a dance party, and to say further that my doing so probably does Talabot few favours. His smooth, Balearic sound isn’t a world away from the gormless trance music that dominated Ibiza at the time, and the vocal tracks have some indie dance inflections that aren’t super fashionable these days. Still, ƒIN floats out there to me in the World of Forms as a timeless example of dancefloor bliss, and still feels like cool black water running in the gullies of my brain.

From the drop, ƒIN invites you into a nocturnal world strobed by green light, ‘80s-esque house synths grooving over samples of frogs and crickets and bird calls. Even when an anachronistic touch is introduced, like the cracking 808 kicks that power “Oro y sangre,” the fundamentally organic quality of Talabot’s sound gradually consumes it, like a marsh reclaiming an abandoned structure. Still, no matter how deep into the mangroves he goes, Talabot has the instincts of a big room dance musician. “When the Past Was Present” sounds like Swamp Thing dropping M and cruising Miami Beach, while Tal’s two collaborations with producer/vocalist Pional are definitely intended for feeling someone’s face while gently peaking. What’s kept him from becoming like, Tiësto or something, is that while he wants to move your body on the floor he also wants to take your mind somewhere more spiritual. That’s an ambition that doesn’t lend itself to big emotional swings—but it does make for an album nearly as good in the chair as in the club.

roof, ceiling el techo

Imagine a rooftop bar on the roof of your house with techno music, so loud that it makes you tetchy.

Can you jump high enough to touch the ceiling?

Where’s Waldo? He’s on the roof. ¿Dónde está Wally? Él está en el techo.

’Waldo’ on a rooftop? It’s a project by Canadian artist Melanie Coles. She built a large image of the iconic "Waldo" onto a rooftop in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. There’s a set on Flickr that shows how they made the painting.

I think we as a society need to be reminded how good the original Powerpuff Girls was. Here's some of my favorite things about it:

the fight scenes had a level of punchiness and impact that was rare for cartoons of the nineties, and fight scenes that were way better than what one would expect from a comedy

The character writing is so good that a large portion of the show's most iconic episodes consist of just showing how the girls' personalities react to different scenarios, for example in one episode the girls take turns recapping a fight that had just happened, and the tone and art style of the flashback changes depending on whose telling the story

One of the recurring extras is a talking dog that goes about it's day like a normal human

Each girl has mostly the same powers with one special ability that sets them apart. Blossom has ice breath. Bubbles can speak to squirrels and is also fluent in Spanish. Buttercup can curl her tongue.

while the majority of the show is lighthearted comedy sometimes it'll just decide to be nightmareworld for an episode and i think thats pretty cool

The show utilizes a blend of classic upa linework and sixties art deco shapism to create a visual style that is utterly timeless. If the majority of the show wasn't cell animated you would not be able to guess when it came out

The main villain's speaking patterns were directly inspired by The Super Dictionary. AKA, the same book that brought us this:

You can tell.

In the season one finale, the girls fight a giant monster using a mech suit. During the fight, there is a sequence that is literally just 20 uninterrupted seconds of an absurd amount of missiles coming out of every possible orifice of the robot. And then they miss.

There was an anime adaptation made in the 2000's and its actually pretty good, like it does take a lot of creative liberties but its clear that the people making it understood the spirit of the original show and were just adapting it to reflect japanese pop culture in the same way the og show reflected american pop culture.

The show had an insanely kickass soundtrack consisting of early techno so clean it's kind of shocking that it was made in the late nineties and not the early 2010's pre-dubstep era
