Rev, Martin
Strangeworld
Martin Revs fifth solo album - Strangeworld - was released on the cusp of the new millennium. The label responsible was
Puu, a Finnish imprint belonging to Tommi Gronlund and Mika Vainios Sahko Recordings which came to fame in the 1990s on
the strength of its uncompromising minimalist sound.
Four years earlier, in 1996, Rev had unleashed See Me Ridin, an album which surprised its listeners with keyboard melody
sketches and distilled doo-wop compositions. It was also the first solo album to feature Martin Rev on vocals.
Strangeworld started where its predecessor left off. Melodic passages dissolved into a thicket of fragments and set
pieces, coalescing in a celestial shimmer between rhythm loops and Revs voice, which assumed the role of an additional
instrument rather than a standard singing part.
