Description

Glitterbug’s debut album ‘Supershelter’ (Oct. 2008) made huge waves across music critics, magazines and fans around the globe. His following EP ‘Dim Flares’ and remixes kept unraveling his musical surprises and an unmatched sound of an epic Glitterbug world. Privilege’ was produced partly in Glitterbug’s Cologne recording studio and partly on the road during his international performance tours in 2009 between the Arctic Circle, southern India, Israel, Europe and China (and everywhere in between). Fragments of field recordings he took in these places appear in many of the tracks, some are apparent, others very subtle.

His second album, Privilege, is a double LP with 20 tracks that mostly hover in the six- to eight-minute range. That's well over two hours of enigmatic techno to digest, and it can't even be called diverse, at least on the surface. Glitterbug's tracks are least interesting when they're most purely techno, although he has a strong handle on fundamentals. Cornered", for example, ratchets up from arpeggio to house bass to snares to chimes, all neat as a pin, and represents the album at its most functional and sterile.

Sentiments aside, does Privilege succeed in its own right? It may not be a Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2, say, and the danger of any truly long release lies in the potential of wearing out its welcome early. But Privilege does work at its best as loosely flowing travelogue, an understated progression that starts calmly with "Lionheart" and builds a calm propulsion as it goes.

Glitterbug’s debut album ‘Supershelter’ (Oct. With ‘Privilege’, Glitterbug takes the listener on a journey to explore new terrains, inverted and unconditional, drawing the full attention of every nerve and sense.
