Comment: MacroNoise is the one-man-project of Tomas Sebelka, an artist from Prague, the Czech Republic. I can remember for he issued an album called My Steps Lead Backwards on Kahvi Collective at the end of the previous year. His 5-track issue Various Species which is issued on Toronto, Canada-based Crime League is a frantic patchwork of different styles and intentions as hinted at by the title of the issue as well. More profoundly, angular electro grooves and agressively trudging (almost industrial) broken rhythms are balanced by spatial synthesisers and wrought sonic effects of voices and electronic keyboards and additionally plucking of natural strings in the vein of folktronic music. Eventually it is getting to gravitate toward the dance locale (especially at Still Alive). At times one can feel that all of that described above used to shift in different directions at the same time. It is called tectonic, isn't? In fact, it is an outing with the complex configuration which needs to have more listening times to convey proper touch. All in all, it is a solid post-kraut/Kosmische Musik release by assimilating old formats and changing them into a new one. As an overcoming and coherent release it should be remembered at the end of the year of 2018.
