Christian Kleine’s tenth album is a pleasant departure from the standard; deftly showcasing electronics of the late nineties and immersing them in an emotional and sonic instrumental stew.
Tag: Instrumental
Anderdog :: Dog Eat Dog (Mestnost)
An album that develops over time, with hundreds of abstract sonic components somehow melding together succinctly.
Testube :: self-sabotage (Point Source Electronic Arts)
The Testube project by Jeff Danos combines noise, techno, industrial, and glitch electronic genres into a metaphorical molten soup.
Illuha :: Tobira (12k)
Explored are captivating synths, modular mazes, and delicately woven experimental and tribal soundscapes set against a vast, open environment. As the record unfolds, eerie drones and microscopic timbres amplify.
Defrag :: Lost Worlds (Hymen)
Lost Worlds is a blisteringly vivid amalgamation of apocalyptic sounds and electronics that eventually implode, infused with corrosive and magnetic rhythms.
Carl Brown :: Time Slip (Mozyk)
A 12-track behemoth that sputters and shimmies its way through video-game electronics and broken breaks (with three remixes by Poborsk, Wagawaga, and The Ghost of 3.13).
Hidden Orchestra :: To Dream is to Forget (Lone Figures)
Brisk and bumpy electronica is submerged in organic soundscapes and sonic vistas that appear out of nowhere.
Infinite Scale :: Solo Flight (Self Released)
A serene collection of loosely layered electronica and exquisitely choreographed instrumentals with a few interwoven vocals to balance everything out.
Robert Rich :: Travelers’ Cloth (Soundscape Productions)
Rich is one of contemporary electronic music’s wunderkinds, each successive work evoking a cinematic grandeur that’s breathtaking in its scope, narrative, and sonic execution.
