About
Alongside his role in the now-defunct trio Cabaret Voltaire, Richard H. Kirk has managed an ambitious career as a solo musician, exploring a wide range of electronic and dance music under at least 30 different names (not including his own). <i>The Number of Magic</i> was Kirk's sixth solo album—though it marked his second LP on a young Warp Records, whose identity was taking shape with the release of the seminal <i>Artificial Intelligence</i> series. With a focus on sound processing and a complete unwillingness to settle into one typical genre, <i>The Number of Magic</i> runs from ambient techno to dub to jazz to ethno-funk. Yet it's remarkably cohesive and listenable, demonstrating a profound ability to find surprising new contexts for unusual source material.
