lan formatique - amber eyes (Digilog)

Saturday, November 4th, 2006

4 tracks of very nice emotional electronica. Beautiful tingling sounds, nice melodies. The rhythms could’ve been slightly more complex here and there, but that should not stop people from listening.

take pills - 05.06.06 (Take Pills Die)

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

Most of this is not my thing, but it may appeal to people who like things less polished. There’s too much chaos and “rough” material for my liking. Some interesting things in between.

various artists - outta breaks remixes (Al dente records)

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

Variation to the max, these remixes of a track to me unknown are all ragga-based, but vary on the subject. Ranging from dubby reggae to laidback downtempo to breaks. Interesting release, though because it’s basically the same track 4 times, it can become a bit boring. Individual tracks are not bad though.

daniel maze - avatar (Rest.)

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

Daniel Maze knows how to create very interesting music. That is my conclusion after listening to Avatar a few times. It’s not your convention ambient, but dubbing it experimental is also not the best description. It’s somewhere in between. Still quite accessible and very, very interesting, he combines a laidback feeling with a healthy dose […]

2loop - bedroom sessions (Digilog)

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Earlier on I wrote about Simulacraic that it was pleasant but not too exceptional. 2loop seems to be in the same league as Businovski here, though 2loop definitely has a better feeling for progression and variety. This one kept me interested much longer. The fact that this release is also a bit shorter does help. […]

manziping - valpo (Yukiyaki)

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

A new label for me, Yukiyaki knows good music. A combination of IDM and tech-house, both listeners and dancefloor junkies can be happy with this release. Interesting from start to end, which is with only 5 tracks still a respectable 44 minutes of music.

ben businovski - simulacraic wonderland (Thinner)

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Dreamy and minimal in that typical Thinner style, this release is one that is pleasant to listen to, but that does not necessarily stands out in the crowd of the available music at Thinner. The music nicely grooves along, but it never stands out. Still, pleasant music to listen to or as background for doing […]

emil klotzsch - feinquisit (One)

Wednesday, November 1st, 2006

Ever since I found out about the One netlabel, I’ve been a happy listener of their offerings. This nice release offers crackles and noises in a pleasant way. The (german) vocals that are used here and there, though occasionally a bit whining, fit in with the atmosphere of the music. Very nice.
