     Manic Expressive, the follow-up to Her Space Holiday's bedroom electronica
     epic Home Is Where You Hang Yourself, establishes Marc Bianchi as a
     brilliant producer in league with Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields
     and gives the term IDM, or intelligent dance music, new meaning. Like Kid
     A's little brother, Manic Expressive pops and gurgles through spacey,
     multi-textured compositions. The layering of keyboards, beats, and
     orchestration illuminates Bianchi's approach to the music, that of a
     producer as opposed to a songwriter, and shows his ability to create
     mind-expanding sounds like Radiohead and Spiritualized on a comparably
     negligible budget -- no small feat to say the least. But, whereas Kid A is
     a cold affair that explores the isolation of emotions in an increasingly
     technology-driven world, Manic Expressive is all warm tones and amber
     waves. "Lydia" has a sleepy groove that sounds a lot like Momus circa
     Voyager. And want to talk riffs? "The Ringing in My Ears" builds on a
     string progression that could be Bach. Bianchi knows how to do the
     grandiose, and "Hassle Free Harmony" pulls out all the stops and ascends
     heavenward: "I used to think the world was round until I filled myself with
     sound," sings Bianchi. Ground control to Major Marc, you've really made the
     grade.
