Title: Bristol trip-hop meets Tokyo techno
Review: I was introduced to the music of Coppe by Guy Guden and his radio program Space Pirate Radio. His show spotlighted her early work, beginning with her CD "Peppermint." Coppe's sounds reminded me of a cross between Bjork and Yellow Magic Orchestra. Bristol trip-hop meets Tokyo techno. At least that was my first impression. Coppe mixes many electronic styles from the most fragmented Mouse On Mars blips and squeaks, to dreamy Sakamoto-like ballads. Sort of like Yoko Ono after two martinis. The adventurous will find many musical variations on her latest, "Papa My Buddha." The outstanding track of the album being the sensuous yet playful "Blue." This one sounded great on the radio and continues to sound tasty on my cd machine. Coppe has cool sounds and cool friends too (like Kris Weston from The Orb). Any of her three discs, "Peppermint," "Mercury," or "Papa My Buddha," is a good place to discover the unique musical world of Coppe.
