Album Description
Available in:
Pause is the second album by Four Tet. It was released on 28 May 2001 in the United Kingdom and on 9 October 2001 in the United States. Pause was Four Tet's first release on Domino Recording Company; his debut album, Dialogue, had been distributed by Output Recordings.
A recording of an office setting, most prominently featuring the sounds of typing on a computer keyboard, forms a recurring motif in the album; it both opens ("Glue of the World") and closes ("Hilarious Movie of the 90's") the album, and is also present in "Harmony One".
Three tracks from Pause were later released in remixed form on Four Tet's Paws EP.
The acoustic guitar track "Everything Is Alright" is used as the theme music for the National Public Radio programme On Point.
The opening track "Glue of the World" is used in the background of the Six Feet Under episode "Someone Else's Eyes" (Season 2, Episode 9). This same track is used in the House M.D. episode 'Last Resort'. It is played over the top of various scenes from the hospital as the hostages are being released and/or detained.
The fourth track entitled "Parks" contains a sample of "After the Snow, The Fragrance" and "Sanzen (Moment of Truth)" both from the album Music for Zen Meditation by jazz clarinetist Tony Scott.
User Album Review
Four Tet’s second album is a voyage of warm, ambient loveliness. It is its author Kieran Hebden’s best work to date and confirms the prolific young soundmeister as a major talent.
Still in his mid-20s, southwest London-bred Hebden is already a veteran of three albums with his other group, Fridge, and countless singles under various monikers – as well as a guitarist in Badly Drawn Boy’s touring troupe. His debut album as Four Tet was entitled ‘Dialogue’ and demonstrated that music is a fluent language for Hebden that encompasses electronica, jazz and rock.
‘Pause’, however, uses a new syntax. It has a folky feel but still feels futuristic and otherworldly. It starts with the sound of a keyboard tapping, but ‘Glue Of The World’ soon transports us to ‘Pause”s natural terrain: a pastoral plain of scrambled acoustic guitars, zithers, rattling percussion, spectral electronics and perfectly chopped rhythm. And on ‘Harmony One’ he delivers no more than rustling, but it’s the most harmonious of rustling.
‘Pause’ would, [I]NME [/I]can only imagine, be perfect to perform martial arts to. It has that inner poise, depth and controlled power, as well as soundtracking an – ahem – gentle spirituality. Like Boards Of Canada, it is modern music for summer in the great outdoors, away from the urban sprawl. While doing Karate. At home, on your sofa, in the city
