The early 21st century electronic music scene together lumped a wealth of laptop musicians from around the world under one cringeworthy genre tag: “clicks’n’cuts.” Yes, the textures were fine, the rhythms of dance music reduced to something closer to ASMR stimulation than rib cage rattlers, but the quirky nuances of these individual artists (Matthew Herbert, Oval, Luomo, Jan Jelinek, to name just a few) all got blurred. Canadian producer Marc Leclair garnered acclaim as Akufen at the turn of the century with his minimal banger, My Way, while the more dubby follow-up he rendered under his name, 2005’s Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes, wound up under the radar. A recent vinyl reissue of that set some 21 years on reveals the slippery details of Leclair’s meticulous productions. As the title suggests (roughly translating as “Music for 3 Pregnant Women”), the pieces grow slowly and accumulate more fine features as they swell in duration. Hiccups, glitches, staticky pops abound, but listen closer and you can pick out bird calls, organ, running water, thunderstorms, acoustic guitar, and more. A lost slice of early 21st century electronic music when the future felt well…pregnant with possibilities.
