I guess this album by The Kirby is best described as melodic, emotional electronica pop. Accessible, with a lot of variation in sound, ranging from beautiful ambientesque sounds to a bit more uptempo melodic electronica, this release will appeal to lovers of (melodic) IDM, electronica, downtempo and ambient.

Due out very very soon now is this release by Dirty Fire Project. Let’s call it dirty downtempo/electronica with a groovy edge. Only Examination stands out in style, giving it a slightly more aggressive feeling. Funny enough, my attention for this release was mainly triggered by the last track, NeverBeenToTokyo. That track is simply so […]
After the initial release by label founder Xyn, it is now time for a compilation that will set the tone for the whole label. The title of the compilation already says it all: Statement of Purpose. The music varies wildly from IDM through Drum ‘n’ Bass to Electro-ish sounds. An excellent, though quite long, compilation […]
Beautiful atmospheric and funky electronica that is hard to categorize except for “excellent”. Very nice rhythms, beautiful melodies. Music for long listening sessions.

Nice experimental electronica, ranging from quite ambient to really IDM-ish. Lots of blips and bleeps, so lovers of those will be happy. Enough atmosphere to capture you into the music. Reflections sounds very Orb-ish, to give a comparison. But that’s only a single comparison, the range of styles is too big to just go with […]
An album of mixed quality, this album proves to me that Jimm the dog should spend more time on listening to his tracks before selecting them for a release. Of the three tracks, melodically Wonder is the best track, though the chosen sounds to represent the melodies are not that good. Highway and Potential both […]
Music for listening, but often with too little detail to stay interesting long enough. That is why it’s good that this release only counts two tracks. It is just a shame that the longest of the two, Champagne, is the least interesting. The soundscape of Meta polaire is much more interesting to listen to than […]
The concept of music combined with spoken word poetry is not a bad one. This release is not bad either, using this concept in a good way. The music, however, is a bit basic, bland, and is not able to really catch my interest. With more interesting music, I think this concept could be much […]
Probably one of the most accessible releases I’ve heard so far from the Autoplate label, and one of the most amazing as well! Beautiful laidback music, melodic, great usage of vocals. Put this on and you’ll immediately loose all the stress you have. Stunningly beautiful.

Their physical album Plays The Music was pretty OK. Now they bring this Christmas album. In their typical way of doing things differently, this electro experiment with a well-known melodies is a funny exercise. But even though as far as I can recognize only the first track is a real Christmas song, I prefer Plays […]
