Although his methods may provoke more discussion than his music (at least
among chin-stroke types and the British and American dance music presses),
Matthew Herbert is an experimentalist of a subtle stripe, combining his love
for all styles of dance-based electronic music with a desire to push their
modes of expression into new areas. Although Herbert studied music formally,
much of his creative impetus has been provided by the compositional
potential of digital sampling technology, which he liberally applies to
genres such as house, electro, ambient, and techno, fashioning tracks of
detail and originality from such mundane objects of everyday life as kitchen
flatware, crockery, even his own body. Although the first of his tracks to
be released on 12-inch came out through the Universal Language associated
with Global Communication, the Horn, and Herbert's own Wishmountain project,
he's since released a flood of material on the Clear and Phono labels, as
Doctor Rockit and Herbert, respectively. With Doctor Rockit, Herbert focuses
on old- and new-school electro-funk and housed-up techno, fusing clangy,
rattling beats with humorous melodies and left-field samples and vocal
snippets. With his eponymous project, Herbert releases the unlikeliest of
experimental house tracks, working within the genre's feel-good,
four-on-the-floor arrangements while drastically tweaking its modus
operandi. His signature approach has given post-rave house's stale
comportment a badly needed shot in the arm, and has (somewhat inexplicably)
been widely embraced among mainstream and underground house audiences alike.

While continuing to record for both Clear and Phono (almost a full dozen of
his tracks appeared on Phono's two-disc compilation The End of the
Beginning), Herbert also applied his remixing skills to a number of notable
artists, including friend Jonah Sharp of Spacetime Continuum, Harold Budd,
Atom Heart, Moloko, Motorbass, Super Furry Animals, DJ Food, Hardfloor, and
Presence, among others. Vocalist Dani Siciliano joined Herbert for the 1998
LP Around the House. His first mix album, Let's All Make Mistakes, appeared
on Tresor in 2000. [See Also: Doctor Rockit, Wishmountain] - Sean Cooper

Quelli Italici..... purtroppo !!!!
Esistono ancora? Sbaglio o erano sardi? Li vidi in concerto da giovinetto
restando sbigottito allorchè, dopo una serie interminabile di brani
melliflui e insopportabili, attaccarono con un lungo strumentale ai limiti
dell'hard-prog, salvo poi ritornare nei loro panni di cantastorie
strappalacrime per ragazzine adolescenti.
Ho invece un ricordo positivo del Giardino dei semplici (che so essere
tuttora in attività) la cui rivisitazione di 'Tu ca nun chiagne' rimane imho
un episodio notevole e sottovalutato nell'ambito della musica pop italiana,
pur perdendo tantissimo vigore su vinile in confronto alla resa sonora che
offre l'impatto 'live'.

 offre l'impatto 'live'.
Conosco di "fama" ed appunto per questo che probabilmente sono ancora oggi
apprezzati.
Potenza delle loro canzoncine melense !!!!

Potenza delle loro canzoncine melense !!!!
Beh, i Collage furono senza dubbio fra gli alfieri delle melodie stucchevoli
filo-sanremesi ad oltranza, e, come tali, da condannare senza remore al
definitivo oblìo, ma altri gruppi coevi, quali Giardino o Bottega dell'arte,
hanno comunque dimostrato una classe superiore e senz'altro buoni spunti
all'interno delle loro prime produzioni su 33 giri. E se Parsifal dei Pooh
viene considerato da diversi addetti ai lavori un disco prog a tutti gli
effetti, non vedo perchè anche La bottega dell'arte nr. 1 non debba essere
ritenuto tale...
Saluti.

Quando Dio inventò il mondo
Ci si mise d'impegno
E provò a farlo di legno
Ma benchè fosse nuovo di zecca
Gli sembrò una prugna secca
E difetto ancor più brutto
Scricchiolava dappertutto.
(Venetian power - Quando Dio inventò il mondo - 1971).
