dbo:abstract
  • The Mabuses est un groupe formé à Londres en 1991 et qui a sorti trois albums tous encensés par la critique. Conduits par l'énigmatique , The Mabuses propose une musique mêlant des sensibilités pop avec des intérêts plus ésotériques pour le cinéma ou la littérature. Le nom Mabuses est un hommage à la trilogie cinématographique de Fritz Lang mettant en scène un maître du crime, le Dr. Mabuse. Tant les paroles que la musique peuvent être décrits comme un « psychédélisme » moderne. La pop de The Mabuses est idéaliste, cisaillée selon la croyance que la forme doit séduire, dérouter et troubler plutôt que fournir un format prêt à être assimilé. L'apport rythmique/mélodique de Fahy est enraciné dans le courant Britpop, typique de l'état d'esprit psychédélique de 1967, comme celui d'un Syd Barrett des Pink Floyd ou de Soft Machine. (fr)
  • The Mabuses is a band which formed in London in 1991 and released three albums to considerable critical acclaim. Led by the enigmatic Kim Fahy, the Mabuses offer music which mixes pop sensibilities with more esoteric concerns such as film and literature. The name "Mabuses" is a tribute to the Fritz Lang film trilogy about a master criminal called Dr. Mabuse. Lyrically and musically, their recordings can be described as modern psychedelia. "The Mabuses is supremely idealistic pop, cut according to the belief that the form should entice, baffle and ruffle rather than provide a readily assimilable template. Fahy's rhythmic/melodic charge is rooted in folk-derived Brit-pop, the kind that typified 1967's psychedelic headcharge, a.k.a. Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd and the Soft Machine, with that nursery rhyme loopiness - whimsy and surrealism simultaneously, all strangeness, quirk and charm - where nothing is quite as it seems." (Martin Aston - College Music Journal) In 2007, an album of new material entitled Mabused! was released. It featured guitarist John Valentine Carruthers (previously of Siouxsie and the Banshees) who co-composed several songs with Fahy. Pitchfork rated it 7.2 out of ten, saying "Mabused welcomes a brave new world". AllMusic rated it four out of five stars, qualifying it as "compelling". (en)
