Big Soup
Mo� Wax/ffrr

After critical acclaim for albums by his alter egos Wagon Christ and Plug, Englishman Luke Vibert steps out under his own name to lay claim to a wide range of sonic possibilities � big band mutations, traditional jazz, twisted drum and bass. Vibert�s flair for the theatrical pops up in a track like �Voyage of the Unknown,� which molds the �50s-era theme song into futuristic sci-fi, and �Reality Check,� which uses samples of whimsical cartoon squeaks to form a pointillist melody. No flies in this one, Big Soup is a glorious trip of a disc that needs no outside assistance to make its point.
