Experimental Electronic Music
The merge between synthesizers and the ethereal new age do make up for an interesting combination, one that always remains comfortable throughout the album; when they’re there, the arpeggiated synths give an interesting edge to the compositions, making them a bit more corpulent.
All in all, the four tracks on the Russia EP certainly leave a positive impression. The noise is satisfying, and the way the pieces constantly move around makes them really engaging.
Belong’s return with Realistix IX is quite a success. They improve significantly on where they had left off and also make use of their noisy aesthetics, combining the two into a satisfying sonic collection.
Sentiment Series Vol.12 is an entertaining little EP showcasing some pretty strong techno tunes. The major point of strength of this release lays in the fact that each tune offers its own approach.
There really isn’t a slow or uninteresting moment on the LP, because there’s always a surprise hidden somewhere. Said surprises don’t come in the form of meticulous details, rather just with how good f5point6 and Rhombus Index are at subverting expectations.
Zero Eight pulls off a rather satisfying mix of noise, ambient, and experimental electronica. The way the record is constantly shifting into new ideas makes it really engaging from front to back, but so does its claustrophobic atmosphere.
You can hear a lot of pure ambience on See You Someday, however, most of the time it is infused with ambient pop aesthetics, some big string arrangements, and straight up psychedelia.
This LP is as good as current “greatly inspired by classics” IDM gets, because Seph rebrands the dusty futuristic aesthetics of acts like The Black Dog or B12 to turn them into incredibly polished and smooth soundscapes, creating tunes that now sound like they come from 3024 just like the classics did when they came out thirty years ago.
