Tag: Abstract
Parallel Worlds :: Applied Maths (Móatún 7)
The ingenuity of Bakis Sirros pervades this album in its entirety—a dark ambient masterpiece that unfolds with continuous soundscapes, allowing for a sublime listening experience.
Aphex Twin :: Blackbox Life Recorder 21f / in a room7 F760 EP (Warp)
Overall impression: I really enjoy these tunes, but it’s clear that whatever rabbit holes Aphex Twin has been down in the last 30 years, he’s still fixated on the sounds and vibes he constructed in the early 90s.
C_C :: Voltiges (In Paradisum)
Where noisier sound effects continuously loop and eventually unfold, C_C finds just a little more fuel to add to these (already) densely layered tracks impacted by a myriad of abstract electronics.
D-Fried :: Butō [part 1] (Kalamine)
A window to the past; D-Fried captures unusual transmissions in saturated strands where found sounds sizzle, snap, and ping their way through the mist.
f5point6 :: Clinical Trials (See Blue Audio)
The album is a surplus of saturated sonic surprises nestled carefully between atmospheric elements and delicately woven electronics…
Silicon Scally :: Soft Robotics EP (Central Processing Unit)
Soft Robotics indeed, this is refined robot music with a heartbeat that remains timeless.
Cathopsis :: Cathopsis (Component)
A seriously tough and targeted collection of harsher electronics.
D’Arcangelo :: Somewhere in time
This summer, Aphex Twin chose D’Arcangelo to open for his show in Verona, Italy. In other words, this is the perfect occasion for a thorough retrospective interview with the experimental twins.
2view :: 4T Thieves & Cognition Delay (Mahorka)
Both albums reveal abstract electronics and downtempo layers with Abdicant and Pandacetamol remixing tracks on 4T Thieves’ album.
Obelisk Ruins :: Thought-Vision-Doubt (Katuktu Collective)
Blissfully encapsulated psychedelic downtempo from the past inside the present.
