G.O.L. (2) - Sensations Of Tone - 21-May-08 06:26 AM
After having listened to pretty much of deep electronic music I thought that little could amaze me at that moment. But when I stumbled upon "Sensations of Tone" I was simply put in awe. The music on this album is powerful and calm, rich and minimal, electronic and live-sounding. It is also melodic, deep, beautiful, emotional, hypnotizing... Simply put every positive adjective describing music and it would easily fit to "Sensations of Tone". Therefore I don't want to put it into narrow definitions like "new-agy" or "mid-tempoish". It is far beyond them. I also believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime record for the musicians. They put so much of their creative power into the project that the result came out unsurpassable. It is even difficult for me to pickup standouts or favorite tracks. They all form Music with a capital letter. A timeless piece of art.
Super Secret Symphony, The - The Super Secret Symphony - 15-Mar-08 07:54 AM
In my opinion, The Super Secret Symphony stands out from ordinary minimal / experimental releases. Here everything is special: the samples, their sounding and appearing in time. These two 30-minute works do not invite listener to another ambient journey. They just offer an exquisite interplay of sounds with occasional beats and synths. Processed voice samples add an "alien" feeling to overall abstract atmosphere, and I really like how complete they sound. It is also interesting to think out the meaning of these bleeps, droppings, hisses, tingles and their combinations. In this way it does remind me of some robotic symphony. I wish Carlos Abe Duque produced more works with such level of creativity and quality.
Spyra - Etherlands - 01-Jan-08 08:14 PM
"Etherlands" is more polished in sound than previous Spyra's albums and thus makes an ear-pleasing listen. The music is basically old-school melodic spacey ambient with fresh nuances, live-sounding beats (sometimes being innovative) and speech samples. My favourites are "The Synthesizer Experience", "Monotonous Stereo Part I" and "Birds on the Wire". One would not expect something really new here, especially if you are familiar with other Spyra's works. But if you are lucky to grab this one, you will most likely not be disappointed. A fine example of new Berlin Electronic School.
Secede - Tryshasla - 01-Jan-08 07:50 PM
"Tryshasla" is really as gorgeous as it is spoken about. Lennard must have been in a long inspiration to create an integral sequence of rich, complex and unbearably beautiful electronic compositions without any weak moments. The music is freely transforming "fantasy" ambient (devoid of "fantasy" style cliches, of course) with lots of mind-blowing collages, exquisite samples and distinct environmental sounds. And the endings of the three rhythmic tracks (3, 6 and 8) contain ones of the most hypnotising pads I've ever heard. Long this may take to describe the whole album with all its tricks and surprises - every second is unlike another. The overall listening effect is literally awesome. Hard to imagine that this intricate and accessible work of art was created by only one young man.
Being out of print at the moment of this review, "Tryshasla" is worth every cent, every penny you pay for it. 1500 copies is just too little for an all-time classic.
Blümchen - Herzfrequenz - 25-Dec-07 05:42 AM
My boyhood passed in the time of Eurodance / Rave / Happy Hardcore wave. I liked much of what had been released in these styles, but as the wave passed, I lost interest in those countless songs. "Herzfrequenz", however, still warms my heart. The compositions are well thought out, the melodies are childishly catchy, the hardcore samples do not stand out that sharp and Jasmin's voice sounds joyous and beautiful in her sixteen. All that charges me with lots of positive energy every time I need it. This charge sadly disappeared in later Blumchen's albums, but here it is present from Intro to Outro. Happy hardcore in its best.
