Latest Music Reviews:
Dam Funk* - Toeachizown - damnzenman
Refreshingly funkalicious robot funk from the funkiest person out there doing it right now, Dam Funk. This album has no loops, no samples, everything is played live, think George Clinton vs S.O.S. Band vs Juan Atkins vs Slave vs Egyptian Lover, it truly brings you back to the days of old. Don't worry now, even though it's as good as the electronic music of times long gone and produced with the classic machines we all know and love, it still sounds as 2009 as it can get. Album of the year without a doubt and meant for those who know.

Source Direct - The Crane / Artificial Barriers - Traffic
It might not mean much to anyone, but Artificial Barriers is by far my favorite tune of all time through any genre. The bass line, along nice keys/pads and most amazing break edits ever amalgamated together make this my most loved piece of waxed I've ever owned. The think break is just too much... similar to Oblivion - Lush, but just more moody, which is what I love. |
Iambia - Provocateur - grantcorp
Progress is one of those small labels that has earned a reputation for quality, and consequently a cadre of admiring listeners. In recent years however, it seems the brand has been somewhat diluted. Carrying the number nineteen is a new album by the Greek project Iambia who present a rather stereotypical blend of melody and pumping beats that flank some growling vocals of a supposedly provocative nature. At its best moments it sounds a bit like Decoded Feedback but the refrains lack that certain catch and the sound in general feels a bit more repetitive.
And then there is the thing with the samples. The band upholds the tired genre cliché of adding samples for sampling's own sake. And why is it that they have chosen to start with one of the most recognizable ones? Case in point: We are a mere ten seconds into the first track when you can hear a classic used on Skinny Puppy's old album "Rabies" (don't try to tell me Iambia have never listened to Skinny Puppy...). Seriously, the recycling of one-liners in the EBM genre is appalling and instantly devalues the music; before long you sit completely oblivious to whatever they are screaming about and try to remember where first you heard a particular quote. Revisit the music if you must but at least have the decency to skip those overused effects.
Overall good production values and the bonus disc contains some mixes that are fine and on par with the album content, though neither disc really warrants any questing to find it. Unless you are a discography completist this one can safely be given a pass, it is about 15 years too late to be taken seriously anyway. |
Dash Berlin With Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Man On The Run - ektorbarajas
The Original Vocal Mix is the best version, even that "man on the run" uses similar sound samplers like "Till the sky falls down", it is a pretty good trance tune, the vocals are very effusive and nostalgic.
It's a pity that also Dash berlin has stepped onto the mediocre-electro-music wagon, you can notice that with the "Dash Berlin 4AM Remix" which in essence is very similar to the Original Vocal Mix but it adds that crappy "electro sound".
While Dash Berlin keeps creating PURE trance tunes it's ok, lets hope that they don't turn around 180 degrees and start making just crappy electro music, like ATB. |
Kanna / So-ki - 恋愛・厨! - irionman
This release isn't too great nor too bad. Some songs are enjoyable, while others, to me at least, really suck. For example, 加奈とKanonで幸福論 is an awesome song, in my head at least, while ギャラクシー”レイク！”エンジェル just sucks. In fact, most Kanna tracks on this release spark my interest, while the So-ki songs just pass the "bearable" listening range. Some people will love this release, some won't, that's really all I can say about it. If you do buy this, with the intent of hearing good music, i.e, if you want gabber, don't expect much. A few tracks do possess gabber qualities, but keep in mind, this release is in no way a full gabber track. In fact, I'd say that most of this stuff on this album remind me of game music tracks. I.e, you would find a lot of this stuff on obscure video games. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy most of the stuff on this release, but it really does sound like something you would find on a video game released around 2002. |
Blue Planet Corporation - A Blueprint For Survival - Whirl
Not sure about this one. I took delivery of it last night and had a quick listen. I love Blue Planet as much as any other electronic cd I own, but this is just a double cd of outdated, uptempo goa / slightly harder (as Denis09 said). The songs are all (apart from Crystal, which imho is by far the best song on here) obviously from an earlier, less sophisticated period than Blue Planet and so this is a disappointment for me. If I actually had them in 1993/1994 it would be amazing - I remember the first time I heard Overbloody Flood on a dance floor at a Flying Rhino party, and still enjoy the memory, but now the song just feels outdated... too fast and too simple.
If you still think 'Live Fast, Die Young' by X-Dream is awesome (from the same period), you'll like this. But I don't think this material has aged as well as, say, Union Jack's album (which hasn't aged perfectly anyway). I guess though it's nice to finally be able to pay money for another Blue Planet Corporation release. 3/5 |
Intestinal Disgorge - Humiliated - Aldeberan403
“Humiliated” marks a turning point in the strange career arc of Intestinal Disgorge. All of the releases prior to this EP feature two unique characteristics: an overabundance of noise and discordant chaos, and the “original” line up (meaning the same line-up as the first album). Many Intestinal Disgorge purists consider this to be the death knell of the band, as “Humiliated” introduces a new, catchy, almost-accessible style of noise/grind which alternates between traditional blasting grindcore, with elements of d-beat and crust, with the familiar noise/chaos segments of days of yore.
The inventiveness of this stylistic change should not be underestimated. The band seamlessly switches between old-school grindage, replete with traditional barking, growling, and screaming vocals, directly into fits of maddening chaos and noise, held together and kept on time by the steadily blasting drums. The effect is that now, instead of turning on an Intestinal Disgorge record and being reduced to limbless sludge by its sonic intensity, now you can get up and groove to the grind segments before being blasted back against the wall and, yes, reduced to limbless sludge.
The production on this EP is astounding. The guitars are powerful and clear, chunking and grinding along with a noticeable, powerful bass. Whereas the guitar and bass usually take a back seat to the drums and vocals in prior recordings, these elements are way out front now. The drums are extremely clear and powerful, with each element managing to come through the barrage of sounds that inevitably build into a ferocious crescendo during the noise segments of each track. And of course, the vocals are once again a shining factor. The familiar “bitch screams” of singer Pissy have now been augmented by the more juvenile sounding screams of new member Randy. There is even more variation in vocals than before, with all kinds of strange sounds and voice timbres occurring throughout the EP. And best of all, now you can sing along, as this EP features a printed lyric sheet, exposing some truly sick and strange curiosities on the part of the band.
This EP was released on the band’s own DIY label Pray For Death Productions in a limited edition of 200 copies on CDR format. The lightscribed disc came packaged in a black DVD case with glossy artwork and a lyric sheet, and many of the individuals who ordered the disc received the EP in a box stuffed with bible pages and pornographic pictures.

Ron Trent - Altered States (Original Plates) - maroko
This is going to be simple and easy: Ron Trent's "Altered States" is by far the best, and my own personal favorite house release I have ever had the opportunity to listen to. Nothing in particular I could point to and say "this is what got me hooked", because all three tracks shine and radiate with soul, quality, originality and ideas.
The music is hypnotic, groovy and extremely accessible, even upon the first listen, and the melody work and the use of harmony is some of the most breath taking I have ever come across in electronic music. The title track has one of the most memorable lead melodies ever recorded, I swear you will not forget it once you hear it. It is applied to great effect, and repeated throughout, creating a real voyage, as the track lasts for thirteen minutes. The music just floats, takes you wherever you want to be, and touches your heart as well as inviting you to move your feet and nod your head along, be it all over the dance floor or the comfort of your living room. House music from way back when not every great house tune had to have vocals about dancing all night long and/or showing some love, and you didn't need to have break downs and climaxes with cheap filter sweeps in order for people to wave their 15 euro cocktails in the air. It actually puts many trance producers careers on the line and Ron Trent shows how it gets done. To think this release was originally published in 1990 is beyond comprehension. What is even worse is that almost two full decades later, nobody on this planet has even come close to reaching the sheer brilliance displayed here. Trust me, this is an obbligatory stop if you have even heard of the term house music.
This is a thirty minute music lesson you really want to take. I play this record whenever I can for whoever I can, whenever I have the opportunity. I am not even a dedicated follower of house music, but this just overlaps any genre borders and rules, restrictions, whatever. Essential piece of electronic music history. Not hearing this is like claiming you love gangster movies but never taking the time to check out "The Godfather". |
Elements (2) - After Hours Links - eccentrica
actually Elements was the name of the project and After Hour Links the name of the album, naming a project instead of an artist or a band was a trend those years, since a project wouldn't be put under a contract for many years but only for the actual release. Perhaps this should be posted under the artist name of Franco Falsini or Frank Bellotti wich is the alias he used back then while he as owner was webmastering for eccentrica.com , a server structured somewhat similar of the social and selling network of today, in fact his mail was elements@eccentrica.org |
D.O.M. - Acid War - Remixes - maroko
OK now, the original might come in handy every now and then, or serve for the odd occassion, but this whole release is all about the remixes, actually. For a change, yeah, the remixers really did elevate the original to whole new heights.
First off, Wah Wah's remix is a blasting, who-can-count-that-fast-to-count-the-BPM-rate acid trancecore monster, with a hardcore touch moving at incredible velocity, with jarring and steel hammer hard acid riffs. Completely wild and off the hook. Definitely something to play during the peak of the night. No pauses, no breaks and no climaxes - just torrents of wild acid dropped for around five minutes after a brief intro and the initial build up.
Then comes Chris Liberator with one of his career calling cards. To my knowledge this is the first remix he's ever done, and what a treat it is. Rolling, 4/4 percussion, with a funky as hell bassline as the sounds and acid leads slowly but steadily gain in loudness and intensity as they progress. By the time that final break comes, prior to the last stand-off, this track is already a wicked mental hospital, then for the last two minutes or so Chris goes completely mad, twists and tweaks with these insane acid melodies and plays a dozen tricks on your mind. Fun, danceable, funky and banging, and inclined to smack an ear to ear smile across your face - isn't that what techno is all about? Absolutely essential for all lovers of London's underground acid techno scene. |
