Decoside - Re | Load (Volume 1) - 07-Aug-09 01:28 AM
Reload 1 is an absolute stunner, a display of art with in art of coarse musically explained and my personal favorite on this wonderful 12" The production style of the track uses very dry sounding landscape as if there's someone breathing over it unpredictably, with the traditional tap hissing element flowing in variable patterns.
A bassline based on 3 injecting sounds following a 2/2 beat rhythm, some bongo loops with 1 solid high hat which remains constant throughout the tune. A really solid start for Giacomo Rondinella in his debut on Eclipsemusic and I hope there's lots more Dub Techno produced in this manner.
Yagya - 16-Apr-09 11:58 PM
An artist with a new vision as well as contribution towards electronic music particularly in ambient and dub techno sub genres. At this point, 3 albums doesn't account enough for someone to be reaching legendary status but goodness me... It seems as if it's all that it takes regarding Yagya. With the possibility of more to come in the future, then you have got yet another dub techno God. Not a single bad tune on all three albums, tunes that compliment each other in no other way I have experienced with other albums.
His works are very closely related to the sound Moritz & Mark produced under Rhythm & Sound but less experimental and more substantial. His astonishing productions on the netlabel, Sutemos are also worth a mention and are still within the boundaries of his earlier and hopefully, later productions. Iceland does not have much electronic artists but if the country was an unknown to some electronic music followers in this regard, Yagya has certainly put them on the map.
Das Kraftfuttermischwerk - Eingang Nach Draußen - 12-Mar-09 12:19 AM
Amazing stuff. Really beautiful music by these two producers that have impressed me with their sensitive productions accompanied with subtle variations of ambience all of which have been displayed on this release effectively. The tracks contain variable BP's with the slowest being in the high eighties while the highest can reach the mid 100 region using a leftfield style with 1 or 2 tracks having a more orthodox style of production, if there is such a thing.
Ultimately, thinner wants to create a distinctive sound in all the releases released under their name and they have done so comfortably conidering that all artists have different styles and methods of producing music but, there is something really different about this release, beautifully different I might add. There is no doubt that the thinner sound is always there somewhere within this release, but it's been overshadowed by some lovely executions of ideas into music.
Furry Phreaks - Mixed Messages EP - 09-Feb-09 05:43 AM
Without a shadow of doubt, one of Charles Webster's best releases here, under the alais Furry Phreaks. Surprisingly, it is not like the familar work we have come to know which includes the talented vocalist Terra Deva.
The concept of "Mixed Messages" which is being portrayed here, is really stunning work. It is an EP which is mainly deep house but includes shades of almost all the main styles which are part of electronic music today.
From ambient to minimal, to glitchy and techno-ish deep sounds that work collectively on each track to ensure the most satisfying outcome and touching experience after an in-depth listen.
I do still hope somewhere in the future that Charles Webster produces the type of sound he has done here. Beautiful work.
Luomo - Livingston - 09-Feb-09 12:52 AM
Vladislav Delay must one of the few artists in our modern era of electronic music that keeps us on our toes with his unbelievably creative productions skills. Here as luomo, he has created something of pure brilliance. He has forcefully made the world of electronic music followers to take note of him.
Superb vocal arrangement that flows on an endless and inconsistent pattern to ensure that the element of surprise rejuvenated. The breaks add to this atmosphere that is created as well as the change in basslines, particularly on the A side which also contains lovely glitches. While the B side, remains constant in that regard but remains fresh during the 16 minutes through other methods of manipulation of production to minimize stagnation.
Both tracks have sensitive touches of ambience which change or evolve as they both progress along with other production components, each done differently in a unique way and considering how long the tracks are it further emphasizes what a remarkable producer Luomo is. Exceptional executions of ideas into a music journey that you don't want to miss.
