The same core feeling is still there, but even in this short time, it’s apparent that skills have been built on, ideas have been nurtured, and flourishes added to round off what was already very enjoyable.
Tag: Abstract
Enabl.ed :: OddlyMerged (Mozyk)
A pleasant release of relatively-downtempo noninvasive pieces that flow nicely and won’t introduce any stress into your day.
Dragon & Jettenbach :: Interesting Times (Point Source Electronic Arts)
These otherworldly soundtracks bend and morph, creating explosive glitch fragments that intertwine and reform themselves, all the while, drenched in dronescapes and densely layered mechanical blips.
exm :: TreeThree (Self Released)
exm finds comfort in lengthy, amorphous soundscapes from many miles above our atmosphere.
Depeche Mode :: Memento Mori (Columbia/Mute)
The album is one of triumph over that grief and living despite the sadness and struggles of the world we live in, and life in general. Fragmented vocals weave in and out as echoes of past deeds and memories come back to mind.
ANORAK :: Antisocial (Concrete Collage)
An album of sped up rhythmic shadows that captivates the listener with its ravaged sonic scope and barely gives us time to take a breather.
Adrien d’Elzius :: Straight from the Void (Pt.1) EP (Self Released)
Crisp and crunchy acid swirls inhabit Straight from the Void (Pt. 1), the first EP of three as Adrien d’Elzius breaks through rugged electronic sound space.
bvdub :: Days of Gold (Quiet Details)
As always, and in this new opus, the emotional component will grab you and transport your listening capacity to some uplifting mysterious spaces where mystery, beauty, and sparkling lightness reign.
V/A :: Various V (030303)
After each of these compilations the Utrecht imprint has only ever set the bar higher, explored further and dared more. What’s next? More of what is on this record hopefully, more…change, something inevitable for these guys.
Danny Playamaqui :: AE–08 EP (Adepta Editions) — Video premiere
A varied auditory collection that pulls from all angles, and another one to definitely add to your wax collection.
V/A :: Mercury Mission Diaries (Cryo Chamber)
I can’t be sure of the difference. Maybe that is only strange laughter coming from down below as the rescue ship speeds with us inside, and the music really takes off. At the end, things are morphing rapidly and I remember some rare small parts of everything after all.
