An Album of the Year - Tba / Natalie Beridze – Forget’fulness
Released in March, the electronic pop of Natalie Beridze’s Forget’fulness has a marvellously glistening, detailed sound which like previous output betrays her time spent in Berlin. As it happens she didn’t go there unnoticed (Markus Schmickler and Thomas Brinkmann have made appearances, the latter releasing several of Beridze’s records on his label Max Ernst, while Pole’s Stefan Betke mastered Forget’fulness). But there’s a warmer and serener quality to Beridze’s productions than you are likely to hear from many…

Liability, 04.10.2011:
Il y a six ans de cela, on découvrait Natalie Beridze en compagnie de Rosario Bléfari, Eglantine Gouzy et Catarina Pratter sur le disque inaugural de la série 4 Women No Cry. Depuis, on ne peut pas dire que la jeune femme ait fait beaucoup de bruit. Pourtant, elle en a sorti des disques. Sous son nom évidemment, ou en prenant le nom de Tusia Beridze (ce qui fut d'ailleurs le cas sur la compilation du label Monika Enterprise) ou alors sous les pseudos TBA / TBA Empty. Loin d'être inactive sa musique a parfois eu du mal à arriver jusqu'à. Et c'est fort dommage car la georgienne a toujours su mettre en œuvre une musique saisissante, une synth-pop éthérée à la limite de l'ambiant qui a su séduire un type comme Ryuichi Sakamoto qui signe avec elle un des titres de l'album (Blue Shadow). Avec Forget'fullness on a cette impression de pop aquatique, une approche très japonaise dans l'ensemble. La rêverie est totale, on se laisse…

EVERYTHING IS CHEMICAL Interview :
...What is theme as well as sound you were going for on "Forgetfulness"?
I don't have a concrete theme nor sound in any of my albums. It's more like a patchwork. There's no real sense of togetherness and cohesion to my albums. Each track speaks for itself. Sometimes I want to make a "one-whole" album, with a linear story-line and tracks merging into one-another, but then I get easily bored by this persistency and restraint and write a track that withdraws itself out of the concept of the album.
...What is your favorite song off of "Forgetfulness"?
Song: "The Face We Choose To Miss". Track: "Half This Game Is 90% Mental". …

| Tracklist : 01. What About Things Like Bullets 02. The Face We Choose To Miss 03. This Isn't Right, This Isn't Even Wrong 04. Hurt 05. Silently Info : Georgian musician Natalie Beridze aka tba first came to monika through her contribution to Volume 1 of the popular series 4 Women No Cry. Now her latest solo releases are coming out on the Berlin label too. This 5 track online EP is a taster for the full-length album, ForgetFulness, that is coming out in autumn. And while What about things like bullets stands proud on its own, it’s sure to leave you wanting more. While these are her first solo releases on monika, Tusia Beridze is certainly no newcomer. With output on labels such as Max Ernst, her ongoing collaboration with the Goslab collective and most recently a release on Laboratory Instinct, tba’s sound is both rich in texture and depth of vision. From the industrial beats of opening title track What about things like bullets to the club friendly electro-ambience of The Face We Choose To Miss and the intricate electronica of This isn't right, this isn't even wrong, the cutting edge production gains warmth and a personal touch throughout from the presence of tba’s voice. No more so is this the case as in her remarkable cover of Nine Inch Nails / Trent Reznor’s Hurt. Of course, Beridze is following in big footsteps with her rendition of this song as the late great Johnny Cash also covered it as one of his last recordings. But tba’s version in all its ambient elegance adds a whole new dimension to this brilliantly melancholy ballad and thereby recollects perhaps Pop Artificielle’s (Atom TM) take on Jealous Guy. This fine EP ends with Silently – which is nothing short of breathtaking. tba’s music is captivating and yet at the same time leaves enough room to let the listeners’ imagination run off in its own direction. And this download EP is just the beginning. If you like this, stand by for the immanent release of her brand new album, ForgetFulness, which contains collaborations with Japanese pianist Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as a host more original Natalie Beridze compositions. In the meantime, enjoy this EP!
