I RARELY meet anyone who knows about Recloose, and that is truly a shame. Alternative/underground music shops in NYC will know this guy. Recloose's command of beat, rhythm, analog and electronic sound, musical composition that cross multiple genres is amazing and innovative. This music grooves, from 'mellow' to 'on the edge of your seat' and has diverse and unique moodscapes. This is sophisticated, artsy, musically saavy listening music.

Those of you that have seen Recloose live know that your stereo is not the best way to get in touch with the man, but _the Dining Room_ is a good listen, and a great buy for those of you a couple thousand miles or more from the D.

With this debut, Recloose makes his mark as one of the most promising young electronic artists from the city where it all began (if you dont know where I'm talking about, educate yourselves).Doing an EP like this is a bit on the risky side, especially with all the stuff that comes out of here. But that's the best thing about this EP, its not like most of the stuff coming out of Detroit. Taking chances and not playing it on the safe side as just "another Detroit release"; which is the sign of a true daring artist. Sometimes he doesn't fully pull off what I think might be inteded, but he sure sounds like he has fun trying. Good stuff for those who want to catch a glimpse of the future sounds of this area.

This CD has a nice upbeat jazzy feel thats really fun. I would compare some of the drum programming to Plug, but it's got a much happier nicer vibe like those peanuts cartoons.

Now that we've heard his reaction to plug i'm waiting to hear his goofy/happy go lucky reaction to amon tobin, photek and jeff mills.

Recloose's music really clashes with the rest of planet e's boring minimalist retro house.

In contrast to his happy music, I know that Recloose is a reckless poison penned punk ass critic on the side... so maybe planet e signed him as some sort of ransom/payola agreement. (thats a joke son)

I hope planet e signs more creative brats.
