CD Review: Ursula 1000, Undressed

Feb 26, 2008 8:18 PM Jason Jurgens (Writer)

Electro breakbeat maestro Ursula 1000 (aka Alex Gimeno) knows how to manipulate the shelf life of an album. Not satisfied with the original tracks of 2005's Here Comes Tomorrow, the multi-instrumentalist enlisted some of the funkiest producers (Ladytron, Myagi) for Undressed. The resulting sound is a melding of eclectic styles, ranging from electro and techno to jazz and funk. The scat-heavy "Boop" shows off Latin jazz chops. Each track pushes the drums to the forefront, delivering crisp beats that get the toes tapping. Most impressive is the album's attention to percussion ("Kaboom").
