Future Classic Meltpop
The Classics Album promises to become a classic meltpop album. What, don't know what meltpop is? Meltpop is what Wieman and its earlier incarnation Zèbra do: complex constructions that can at times sound like pop/dance songs, made entirely out of samples drawn from a very specific and predetermined corpus. More insidious than plunderphonics, rounder around the edges than sound collage, and infinitely trickier than a DJ set!

This first album as Wieman is a masterful continuation of Zebrá. A first-class exercise in sonic abstraction.

And albeit it remains unclear whether this specific predetermination specifically influenced the sound of the five tracks to be found on "The Classics Album," it's quite remarkable how the results turn out here.

Expect a classy epic but demanding journey.
