Sleeparchive - 21-Jun-07 08:56 PM
I think this project has lasted far too long. It should have died right after Infared Glow. The music is HUGELLY influenced by Mika Vainio's Ø project and especially his Metri album.
The only difference is that Sleeparchive releases are not produced with analog gear. A major difference if u ask me.
At first it seemed cool to have the chance again to listen to something similar to the legendary Metri. Through time though, the releases are getting as dumb and pointless as most of what people wanna call minimal today. It makes you wonder if they actually listen to them before they buy them.

Closer Musik - One Two Three (No Gravity) - 16-Apr-06 08:15 AM
The B side of this release track Closer Dancer (which by the way is a totally different track than one with the same title on the After Love LP) is one of the most dark & dirty minimal techno tracks ever written & in my opinion what makes this EP a must have for every fan of the genre. Dark & dirty, monotonous & long with far-out vocals, yet it manages to seduce.

Marc Houle - Restore - 08-Sep-05 05:49 AM
"restore" is the solo debut from windsor`s marc houle of run stop restore. His new eleven track double-pack dives into a dark deep corner of melodic minimal grooved-up techno, fueled by the golden age of synth pop and the underground anthem classics of acid house.

Mind Over MIDI - Elektrical Aktivity - 19-Jun-05 05:35 AM
This compilation of tracks from recent EPs, new tracks and remixes, from Norway's Mind Over MIDI, is very much an album of two halves. The first five tracks, all icy ambience, ghostly drums, and liquid melodies (probably inspired by MOM maim man Helge Tømmervåg's dark past in an early 80s electro pop duo), are very reminiscent of fellow Arctic circle compatriots Biosphere, and Dub Tractor, and at their heights are stunning. Second track, "Relaxed', in particular overcomes its rather naff title, by marrying shuffling rhythms and a mesmeric piano riff to maximum hypnotic effect, and is worth the price of admission alone. Elsewhere, 'E-Scape's dreamlike qualities also have the desired impact, and only the odd ill-advised indulgence on the analogue swiggle front sits at odds with the horizontal status quo. The ambient techno of title track 'Elektrical Aktivity', however, signals a change of gear, with the thus far restrained drum corps coming to the fore, the whole caboodle dashing headlong into what I believe you youngsters would call a 'frenzy beat fest'. Which, while highly attractive to some, signals those 'bpmc' (beats per minute challenged) fogeys such as myself to cower behind the sofa and dream of more calming climes. As I said, an album of two halves.

Various - 2 - 12-Jun-05 11:15 AM
This second full lenght cd from Elektro Music Department would best be likened on a foggy morning ride on a horse named Solitude through the Lost Valleys of Obscurity. Dark and dreary synth lines are lined with subdued kick drums and minimal percussion, with an occasional noise factor thrown in to thicken the haze. Add a couple of abstract vocals and you've got a melancholic drooper, perfect stripped-down tech for latenight hermitising.
