Renraku continue to evolve as their revolving Communication Themes compilation series expands and contracts with creative and exploratory electronics. Vhsceral’s “Superbounce” is aptly titled, its ricocheting beatwork and drenched sound design elements are precision sliced with tangled glitch shards. N² takes a more tranquilized, semi-instrumental direction—”OBLIVION ARCHIVE” seeks to extract all the bits and pieces as violin strings carefully weave through. The shuffling surge of CATAWAKE’s “Room999” absorbs miniscule bleeps’n bass and scatters them about as Boingo Hotspot’s fizz-fuzz 2-step versus garage clicks and disjointed cuts on “Room You Die” is an influx of sizzling sonic particles. Closing with the slow motion bliss of Nu Partial’s “Major Ki,” downtempo and sharp rhythmic sandblasting leaves a lasting impression that catapults Renraku Global Media to the stratosphere and back. Acrobatic electronics from the farthest reaches.
Communication Themes Volume 10 is available on Renraku. [Bandcamp]
