Undo Undone delivers well executed instrumentation’s with fruitful luminous ideas, deep basslines, achieved harmonic progressions, powerfully emotional energies centered on soundtracky ambiences and nice free-jazzy sounding experiments.
Alpha Bubbah is a versatile and multi-directional electronic project launched by Me Raabenstein, founder-owner of the independent label nonine recordings based in Berlin. Undo Undone is the first effort released under this musical entity. All tracks are written, composed and produced by me raabenstein. The album is out under digital format and features the presence of numerous musicians who deliver a colorful diversity of instrumental sequences next to omnipresent electronic textures.
It’s been a while since I’ve heard such adventurous music in the electro-experimental field. This album is entirely built around a vast arsenal of electro-driven patterns and variations, acoustic instrumental brilliance and soulful jazzy vibes. The content is continuously captivating, sensuous, innovative and interlocking. I’ve listened to the whole album with an equal pleasure. Undo Undone starts this breathtaking musical ritual with a bombastic funkadelic electro epic which provides a large part to tripped-out sound experiments, retro organic chords, floating guitar waves and groovy bass / drumming electro sequences. Could be the perfect spacious jazzy-funkadelic hymn. “Dreary musings” delivers an obvious sense of progressiveness, bringing to the fore an other highly melodious and soulfully accomplished jazzy-electro improv. With a spontaneous sense and a great instrumental talent, these compositions admit resonances with the funked out and energized musical world of Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Embryo, Kraan and with the obsessional hypno-electro beat dimension of IDM figures such as Tilliander, Wolfgang Voigt, Heinrich Dressel. “Tighter Claws” put the emphasis on blissfully pulsating electronic elements sustained by retro-ish organic chords in a clear cinematic moody style. “See of Tranquility” carries on sophisticated electro improvised environments admitting dense groovy bass lines, lysergic synth lines and psych-out effects. Tracks such as “Detection (with its almost Goblin-esque feel) and “Wooden spacecraft” culminate the compositional dynamic with a highly inspired combination between perpetual sci-fi hypnotic electronic sequences and haunted cinematic ambiences.
Undo Undone delivers well executed instrumentation’s with fruitful luminous ideas, deep basslines, achieved harmonic progressions, powerfully emotional energies centered on soundtracky ambiences and nice free-jazzy sounding experiments. A musical phenomenon and absolutely compelling release. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy engaging, jazz-inflected electronica.
Undo Undone is available on nonine.
