Maps And Diagrams* - Tactile Love EP - 13-Aug-04 02:20 AM
Tim Martin has turned to be an instrumentalist but not as everybody around. An unordinary spatter of English electronica and sincerity of Maps & Diagrams still remains. Robin Saville (one of Isan) had lots of influence on that, too - he has contributed to the first four tracks of the single. These remind of last chords of Isan in thier last album Meet Next Life by necessity. A calm computer music is connected to the sounds of acoustic guitar. I started to remember Corcer/Conboy hearing while hearing that. According to Tim this album was born in the night time that is why it is so dreamy and melancholic. When acoustics are gone simply beautiful and pure background awaits you. Rhythmless structure is sounding full and yearning. When Tim escapes the grip of Robin he tries to get back to the more common synthetical form but Ellips and Oneseg are sounding way more rich and interesting than we heard in his previous albums. Ellips is one of the most beautiful tracks of this summer. I am comfused about that because this pretty sad and sentimental love letter btter fits the mood of autumn. The rain. The wind. The dark streets drowned in the shadows.

Funkstörung - Disconnected - 08-Jul-04 03:50 PM
I believe that there will be a lot of people who will dislike this vocal album of Funkstorung. But I am also sure that all these people will fell the harmony and quality. You can hear clearly in Disconnected that Chris de Luca & Michael have been searching for themselves and now they have finally found what they want and how to succeed it.

Sense - A View From A Vulnerable Place - 01-Jul-04 08:35 AM
Sense and his album just enslaved me, i havent holded such a unifrom album in my hands ever since. I cant say that monotony is the thing that goes all along the album. No Way! The album simply consists of calm, yearning and melancholic dream, which makes you leave all the bouts of anger (which a a favoured thing among IDM artists in order nobody would call them "sweetassess") all the way behind. All the experiments wear off (which i liked sooo much), they are nothing but a facile sound symphony, ice-cold beat conceptions are not important. One thing only remains important - the sound and its introduction. Everything can be rated with the highest grades. When you press play you start hearing monotonic, killing melodies which actually drown you, thinly falling rain drops, rare rays of light... wide and colourful world. I close my eyes and start to paint, to create my own space in the same manner as the sense does it. It is a intimate diary which slowly drowns you into its world... A View From Vulnerable Place is not a temporary fancy - I am writing about year after it was released. It still sounds, it still will be sounding tomorrow, I am not hoping to stop and to drown only in his sound but competition is still too little to take it from me..
