Title: Enon Marbles and Exploded Evidence a good album
Review: EnonLost Marbles and Exploded Evidence , good albumNew York synth anti-pop group tidies up its archives, but not too tidilyFrom electro shuffles to punk vamps, this compilation of singles and other odd tracks is something of a jumble, which is exactly how the New York combo likes it. Originally just singer-guitarist-synthist John Schmersal, Enon have evolved into a smart, unpredictable trio, featuring Toko Yasuda's lovely coo. Recorded between 1998 and 2004, these 16 tunes are all short and mostly machine-generated, but range widely in mood and timbre. Yasuda harmonizes with herself atop the chiming riffs and fuzz-bass pulses of "Knock That Door," while Schmersal rants over harsh bleeps and heavy thumps on "Marbles Explode." This package (which includes a DVD) demonstrates that Enon enjoy both melody and noise but savor unpredictability most of all.
