Comment: this is the first entry by Recent Music Heroes to the discography of Kopp Netlabel, and our focus is directed toward Darker Frequencies, a compilation of 15 compositions and 103 minutes. As the title suggests it is all about or at least most of it is about peripheral sound generation and nihilistic industrial structures and noisy progressions. However, this immense set includes many variations either – for instance, Indo`s Vairupa is based on wobbly, fairly slowed-down trance-alike frequencies which are mixed up with spacey field recording undulations. The compilation embraces such artists as Kid Atari, Perankh, BPMV, Loki Fun Lilith& No Way Out, Topi Reta, AQM, Indo, Murmurists, Dopam, To-Bo, Nosens, Rune, and Adrien Mailler. Given that the miscellany was released seven years ago I guess many artists represented over there are defunct at the moment. Additionally to the intriguing music it is a reason even more to dig it up.
