专辑简介

Restricted Access welcomes Claude F to the RaR Family who has generated a parade of sinister rave-ups by channeling his own darkest self into a special brand of Tech HOUSE from his bespangled Oslo, Norway Home, Claude's Magic Moment, the manic soulman accesses his better angels without losing the hard groove or the ueber-weirdness that is, for some, his defining characteristic. A fur-claded beat that sits shotgun as a reindeer pilots a bright-red Rolls-Royce drawn by three white stallions apparently galloping through a sparkly, purple cosmos is what most people will say about this ep. The thing sounds like a young girl's Trapper Keeper from the '90s, and the ep itself is likewise kid-friendly in the extreme, with good-natured appearances from the Muppets and current NO Straight No Cheese Chaser. On "The Ability to Express YourSelf" Claude spun wicked necrophiliac fantasies. Here, he's more about "Candles burnin' low/Lots of mistletoe," "Choirs singin' carols right outside my door," and so on. Fear not: We'll soon be treated to new renditions of the familiar id of Funk for yo Trunk, In the meantime, the dark songster offers a bright Ep full of pudding-rich arrangements and a number of worthy soul hits-just with a little more twinkly tambourine.
