Album Name: Nadir
Artist: Arthur Loves Plastic
Year/Label: 2003 / Independent
Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Bev Stanton is the prolific artist behind Arthur Loves Plastic. “Nadir” is a collection of downhearted ambient music. The record uses loops from members of the tapegerm collective.
“Anemone” uses vocal samples and drifting beats to create an affecting whole.
“Reality” has an oriental flavour and a hard-driving flow to it.
“You Can’t Stop me now” is an ethereal swoon.
The rhythmic “Eagle” is a certified floor-filler. The soaring “Eleven” features a distinctive piano part that elevates the song.
“Nadir” is an accomplished and adventurous record.
