"My Life As
A Ghost" brings together two of Rapoon's most brilliantly developped
skills: on the one hand you have his classic ambient tracks, skilfully
created and with an atmosphere that only he can achieve. On the
other hand, Robin has created a lot of beat orientated tracks that
range from dancefloor to more experimental. Finally, the all-new
Rapoon CD and what a killer album this is!
"Storey has drawn on all kinds
of familiar musical forms - Trance on the Rhiz album, Ambient on
The Kirghiz Light, Drum & Bass on Cold war and more - but he
retains the appealing ability to make music subtly removed from
its immediate influence. (On My Life As A Ghost,) found voices drift
through the mix; grainy loops revolve and shiver; the music expands
and contracts, systole and diastole, with slow, ectoplasmic motions."
(The Wire, December 2004)
"Seventy-two minute studio album that uses rhythm as a weapon
in almost the same way that the early pioneers of Krautrock such
as Can & Faust used to do, way back in the early seventies.
(..) Track through impressive track reveals some of the most mesmerising
rhythm-based electronic music that you've yet heard from a true
creative force in music and for many years a genuine musical pioneer
- the fact that after all this time he can still produce an album
as awesome as this, one that takes your breath away every time you
play it, a testament to his talent - amazing!!!!"
