Review

Sarah McLachlan may sing about "Building a Mystery," but Dutch singer-songwriter Solex is the current queen of what-is-that? pop. It's not just because her music is constructed of usually unidentifiable samples, either. Elisabeth Esselink begins her second album, Pick Up, with a title track that's an inverted version of Patti Smith's "Gloria"--but instead of walking right up to that sweet young thing leaning on the parking meter, Solex just stands there. By song's end, she hasn't reached a decision to move in on the object of desire or just get back to her records. The word "dreamscape" may be overused by now, but it fits Solex's world of oblique meditations and subterranean hooks perfectly. Her sing-song vocals couldn't be enunciated any more clearly, but pleasingly, Pick Up only hints at what she's getting at. --Rickey WrightAKA Elisabeth Esselink. This Record is Made Entirely from Bootlegged Samples from Jazz, Classical and Pop/Rock Concerts.
