Tag: Abstract
Giulio Erasmus :: Low-tech electronic music
Son of Alan Erasmus—Factory Records co-founder—Giulio carries forward a legacy of boundary-pushing sound, drawing deep inspiration from the raw energy of early ’80s UK counterculture and the immersive spirit of sound-system culture, blending both in a uniquely modern way.
Jon Murphy :: Modular Overture AEX-04 (Adepta Editions)
Modular Overture signifies the culmination of a four-part release series by Adepta Editions. As it brings one chapter to a close, it effortlessly ushers in another, highlighting the boundless possibilities of experimental electronic music and its diverse, intricate dimensions.
exm :: Solar (Touched Music) — [concise]
Solar blends characteristic brittle electronic textures with smooth, precisely crafted structures and tightly wound glitch elements.
Irkya :: Mind Fog (Wormhole World)
There’s a meditative quality to Mind Fog, but not in a way that lulls you to sleep—more like guiding you through a lucid dream where each track is a different room in a strange, beautiful house.
Solar X :: Masters Of Meanders (Ant-Zen)
Masters Of Meanders threads together the past with forward-thinking precision that’s as timeless as it is innovative.
Survey Channel :: Functional Gloss (Self Released)
The fluid, unhurried march of time—where each second blends seamlessly into the next, constantly shifting and evolving—creates the perfect backdrop for albums like Functional Gloss by Buffalo’s Matt Donatelli, under his Survey Channel project.
Fantastic Twins :: Suite of Rooms (House of Slessor)
All in all, this is an album that doesn’t fail to entertain those looking for interesting, leftfield electronica. The aesthetic of this LP very much matches its concept, and if you want to feel like you’re part of the labyrinth yourself, might as well try and do the one on the cover, only to realize after a little bit that it’s completely closed off and you’d feel as lost as you should.
AeTopus :: iota (Spotted Peccary Music)
iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example. Experienced in a good listening environment, the listener will imagine distance, elevation, and perhaps even time.
