Tulsa For One Second

Pulseprogramming's Tulsa For One Second is a remarkable record, rich and personal with understated textures and wintry elegance while presenting an array of styles that reference artists such as Boards of Canada, Matmos, early Mouse on Mars, Telfon Tel Aviv (whose Charlie Cooper mixed "Tulsa") and the Morr Music label. The Pulseprogrammers have expanded their use of vocals (including contributions from Lindsay of label mates L'altra) to create a handful of pop gems that interact with their lingering instrumentals and make for a singular listening experience. With Tulsa for One Second, Pulseprogramming has created a defining record for contemporary electronic music in 2003. Tulsa For One Second is a truly unique record, offering a musical and emotional range that is unusual for an electronic record.
