To Everything (Churn Churn Churn) There’s Techno
New York Times – Oct 22, 2007
And when the first full-length Justice album appeared this summer its title was simply a cross symbol in a calculated show of irreverence. f course the visual aesthetic would mean little without the music. With a sound partly inspired by heavy metal hence the religious imagery and the Marshall stacks really just for show Justice aims to bring a bruising energy to the dance floor. Judging by the deep churn in the crowd at Terminal 5 the strategy worked. The show began like the album with (what else?) “Genesis” a portentous fanfare that gives way to irrepressible horror-show funk; on a subterranean level it resembles Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” which is probably no mistake. There were only slight alterations to the track at chest-thumping lower frequencies but gradually “Genesis” diverged from its path on the album: instead of morphing into the pseudo-disco of “Let There Be Light” it took on the robotic syncopations of “Phantom.

The song has been firmly in the Billboard Hot 100 for more than a month holding strong at #3 for several weeks.

Anna Clyne’s “paintbox” dispensed with the orchestra altogether. Clyne sat motionless cross-legged with her cello in her lap while Joshue tt a computer artist illustrated her dense playful electronic mash-up of sustained cello tones plinking music-box sounds stuttering speech and layered vocals. “Revelations” a 1955 work by the restlessly inquisitive jazz bassist and composer Charles Mingus positioned him as a spiritual forebear. The concert ended on a high note literally with the frenetic saxophonist Ken Thomson’s “Wait Your Turn” an animated battle between the orchestra and Mr. Thomson’s punk-jazz quartet Gutbucket. The groups took turns playing frenetic chords and explosive rhythms; when they came together the music offered a density worthy of the closing bars of a.
