Establishing a benchmark for high-definition electronic experimentation
Returning once more, Point Source Electronic Arts strive to extract definitive electronics with a darker tinge while consistently outperforming itself, release after release. Featuring an array of skilled experimental glitch, IDM, and machine funk sound sculptors, their Artist Showcase series, currently in its fifth installment, can be purchased as a double compact disc collection that includes twenty-five tracks hovering on the brink of futuristic and rhythmic soundscapes. It would be impossible to give each musician enough attention in this assessment because there’s so much talent involved, with tangled blips and bleeps and roughened synth overflows scattered all over the place.
Simply have a glance at the contributors—a thorough cross-sectional cut through the entire scene—investigate their fragile and perplexing sound designs, and appreciate the imaginative audio-visual nuances offered by this consistently reliable label.
