FIGURINE - THE HEARTFELT, CD, 2001, MARCH RECORDS, USA
Every once in a great while, a record hits my senses and immediately takes residence with me in an intimately personal way. It evokes feelings of growth, childhood and wonder, but more importantly it pulls on the fiber of your being in ways you don't quite understand, nor ever will. The Heartfelt is one of those albums for me if you couldn't guess. Comprised of Jimmy, Meredith and David Figurine (not their real names), this out of print album of superb electro-pop combines the best sounds of early 90s synth textures with perfect melody unison. There is a waft of magic on this, their last record (for now) that lingers years after the first listen and nestles itself nicely in your bloodpump. One of my personal favorites. Eat yer heart out.
