Comment: undoubtedly The Indonesian Qoreader`s 10-notch
is an amusing one to listen to. However, by listening to it this arises some questions
in me – how should it be tagged? Is it either rave pop or electronic dance
music; is it either electro pop or post-disco? Of course, the latest definition
and electronic dance music are ambivalent ones by their nature – as much as I have understood
the term ”electronic dance music” is related to certain artists all over the
world. “Post-disco” is a kind of electronic music being emerged after the
explosion of disco music, which does say a little concrete about the real
status of things. I guess Qoreader does have dug up some elements from the
aforementioned styles, of which borders are so hazy and will be blurred with any
next month going by. More in detail, it involves catchy rhythms, superficial yet
frequently mind-blowing melodic patterns (for instance, at UptoHigh) and sampled vocal interference (aggressive
female sayings surprisingly). There are up even some mocking elements
interwoven into the sonic text in one track – “are you ready?” What the fuck
does it mean? The Red Veil can be considered the exception of the whole
because of being built up on a folk and electronic music mingled pace. The
artist himself says that techno music is his root and dark ambient is his
influence. To proof this statement or not you must spend some time with these
28 minutes. The issue was self-released through Mediafire two years ago. I like it. I like it very much.
