ANALOGIC CAPTIVE - TYF (1996-1999)

Comment: I find any album dig out from the past is worth to be re-issued and analysed and further to put it into the adequate historical context. And those people and labels and bloggers who have revised old music are worth to be honoured. More concretely, this 13-track issue is re-released under CS Industrial 1982-2010 (firstly issued in 1999 under OLEUM product) whose purpose is to bring forth noise and industrial music in Czech and Slovakian Republic (as Czechoslovakia until 1993) from the above mentioned period of time. Roman Černý spawned result is wondrous – it sounds like an oeuvre by an industrial worker who has disillusioned regarding the future and perceives indescribable anxiety and psychic distress. By aesthetical aspect the outlet is mesmeric due to organic merge between harsh industrial music and brown/and black noise, between and pulsatory drone snippets and circumspectly fluttering damaged ambient music (read: illbient, dark ambient) and pounding power electronic appearances and incisive experimental electronic explorations and ghostly spoken word snippets filled with shrieks and gloomy murmurs. However, those warm analogue sounds do balance harsh nature of the album. In a word, the effect is overwhelmingly mind-provoking and magnetizing.                     

EPV NAVIES – VOLTAGE CIRCLE (2014)




/Glitchtronica, Experimental pop, Glitch techno, IDM, Experimental electronica, Indietronica, Art pop, Ambient, Ambient techno, Abstract, Glitch ambient, Glitch dub, Modern classical, Post-industrial, Electro-acoustic, Clicks`n`bleeps, Organic electronica, Dream folk, Crossover, Soundscapes, musique concrete, Ambient drone, Avant-electronica, Noise, Art pop/

Comment: by watching this list of a huge amount of tags wrote down above it implies a vary-coloured nature of this 16-track issue. Indeed, the main spots are `electronic` – ranging from refreshing alternative pop expressions and stereophonic fireworks to remarkably harsher, even abstract synthesised glimpses, with more or less bellying, protuberant rhythms; `ambient` - with or without drones, at times knee-deep and spacey, at times more morose, glitch-draped and noise-soaked; `classical` - at the time it does mean mutant classical music where the axial term is buried under other, electronic-induced elements. The only exception is a Finnish singer-songwriter, Violeta Päivänkakkara, though, make that this time her track (Sya; the compilation also includes the video version of it) chimes significantly more electronically than she commonly used to do. Additionally, there are represented such artists as sanmi, AUCHRE, Gallery Six, Rawpass, Senna, Makoto Masui, Nankotsuteacher, N-qia, --memor2, Yoshitaka Hikawa, SHOMOMOSE, Y:E:T, and gift. All in all, it is an excellent introduction to the Japanese label elementperspective. Great.               

Eluna - Trädgårdsmästarinnans Tillförlitliga Tillflykt (2014)




/Indietronica, Chamber pop, Alternative pop, Electronic pop, Cowbell indie, Modern classical, Organic electronica, Post-rock, Mood music/

Comment: Zeon Light is a decent tape music label from Sweden whose vast discography (65 articles in total) embraces lots of outstanding releases. However, Eluna`s 4-track issue is an organic blend of fine indie electronic reveries, restrained post-rock styled panoramas and echoey piano chords fuelled chamber pop/classical music insights extended by concrete music fragments here and there. Every element on it is produced in a way to be out of razzmatazz every detail on it is thoroughly bound and fixed into the entirety. Those gradual progressions constitute a sublime feel getting into the listener`s soul thereof. It goes along effortlessly, without applying any power to reach its goal (reminding of Laozi`s main postulate). Furthermore, by watching the cover of the album it will insinuate pleasant rustic perceptions inside. By kindred souls there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of Oskar Hallbert (Sweden), and So I`m An Islander (Denmark), for instance. In a nutshell, it can be said the result is fascinating and wondrous at any point of its course.
