There are countless people unhappy with the meaning
that has became attached to minimal in the past few
years. Not least Donnacha Costello, who recently shut
down his Minimise label in an effort to distance
himself from a genre that he never embodied anyway. But
when Costello found himself with the sort of dance
tracks that didn't quite fit on his new imprint, Look
Long, I imagine he gritted his teeth a little bit and
squeezed out what might just be the last release for
the label. Maybe. If it doesn't happen again. (We'll
see?)

The result is among Costello's finest work in the dance
arena: "Miss Synclaviera" reflects the producer's
infatuation with the titular piece of gear. Its aquatic
melody wavers softly up and down, creating a sense of
queasy calm via repetition, buoyed by a 4/4 stomp and
the tiniest offbeat. My pick of the two, though, is
"Tears of the Vampire" because I like a good cry every
now and then. (Who doesn't?) Costello's rolls the beat
rougher, but his melody is even sweeter, a melancholic
dirge that rivals anything found on his early ambient
albums. It might not be the optimal soundtrack for Tom
Cruise biting into Kirsten Dunst's neck, but Wesley
Snipes? Sure
