• Abstract

Comment: this set of 6 compositions is excellent and highly enjoyable due to minimalist progressions and expansive space around it. It is especially worthwhile today while an average human being is surrounded by lies and selective truth, perversions, quasi-values and a massive bunch of everyday's shit defying frequently description or expression. Thereof Marow's Inter is not the solution, it is a remedy. However, the average human being is as a similar stupid primate as his/her rulers whose free will gifted by the God is to succumb in a state of chaos created by himself/herself. By listening to the issue saturated with beatific stillness and wondrous sonic bits it would be a soundtrack for a post apocalyptic world without awful shrieks, overwhelming pollution, suffocating garbage, annoying noises, rotten horizons of the so-called civilization which in fact is the deviation from nature. It is time to restart it now to erase the reason for this valley of distress. The only reason to live on it is the art in music including the recent issue. The philosophy or the art of thought is dead because it is a source of demagogue and lies. And it is very naive and hypocritical to say that the term "post-truth" is proper to describe the latest elections of the US presidency only. The substance of it did born much time ago. There is no hope and rescue, there is the beast standing on two feet.

Swishcotheque

• Electronic music 
• Breakcore 
• Breakbeat 
• Alternative 
• Drum and bass 
• Breaks 
• Alternative dance 
• Nu jazz 
• Synthwave

Comment: this 11-track issue is a part of the discography of Swishcotheque. It is as colourful and arousing and involves as much penumbras and shades as the cover print of the outing. In fact, it is quite puzzling to grasp the main flow of it because it includes the beats with different frequencies and disparate timbral suits and gleaming synthetic progressions on top of it. Because of that I would like to exploit such general stylistic tags as breakcore, and synthwave, respectively. The sensitivity of nu jazz, and nitid cadences. It might be that my question is posited in a wrong way because music needs no borders in any cases possible. Thereof it is almost impossible to say what it is but being a staggering release anyway. Additionally, one can enjoy more generic aspects on it – the clarity of sounds and subtlety with regard to the production. And that makes sense in the first place.

Bandcamp

• Folktronica 
• Folk indie 
• Americana 
• Alt-folk 
• Indie folk 
• Ambient 
• Art folk 
• Musique concrète 
• Tex-Mex

Comment: this 13-notch issue is created by a Canadian multi-instrumentalist, Richard Lisaj whose music sounds like a palette of sketches recorded by driving across highways in southern part of the USA. Indeed, it was recorded while he was travelling from Canada to the US states (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico). By listening to it one can discern Tex-Mex details within it. Musically it is based on pastel guitar jangling, some harmonica whiffs and exquisite electronic progressions and roundabouts which together are grandiloquent and rustic at the same time. Frequently these moods are imbued with the chirping of birds and some other concrete sounds, at times it might even remind of some tracks of David Bowie's albums from his Berlin period (for instance, at Garden of the Gods). However, the music is Americana and it is very welcome to meet it with unexpected dodges within the mix. In a word, it is a fabulous listening experience being released under Acustronica, Bandcamp, and Jamendo.

• Music Hall 
• Vaudeville music

Comment: I can remember for an excellent album, Twitches issued by Nick Yulman aka Bone Conductors in 2008 being one notch in the compartment of Outstanding Music at Recent Music Heroes. That's was great. That's was great to listen to this new sort of American Dream in sounds. In fact, Warsaw Machines & Songs used to continue in a similar manner though the accents are slightly different throughout these compositions. You can hear a contemporary music hall and vaudeville music metamorphosis within it. It is especially staggering at Things Are Other Things. It is so. It is so.... . It is so damned beatific and beautiful. Similarly as Sufjan Stevens used to do. Ten for Ten is an abstract clockwork composition yet arousing some warm sensations inside you. It is artsy and affectionate at the same time where a field recording and goofy laughing chord are set up to loop and then they are traded for a gentle machine-like flicker to interplay with hazy guitar chords. True craftsmanship. The same could be said about Island Is Gone. It is a top tier in the contemporary Americana. The point of it is not related to these formal elements only it is also about the relationship between them. At Head Strings Yulman sings in the silent zone we stand alone and spend the afternoon on their own. Usually it might be a quite simple phrase but how it is ached for it makes blatantly sense. Bloody loneliness yet which is highly needed to conjure up great aesthetics. That's organic synergy and because of that it is so appealing either. Killer in a soft way.

• Poptronica

Comment: Paris, France-based artist Andrea`s (or AndreaLo) 7-track issue involves 2 original compositions and 5 remixes of a track, Work the Middle. With regard to the song titles and some voluptuous sighs within it this does have implicit suggestions at oral sex (Work the Middle, Going Down) and I guess the remixes depict a stage when a human being is inflected with a human papilloma virus and prone to different types of head and neck cancer. If to let that black humour aside I have to admit I like it. The album I mean, of course. I enjoy it though I am quite suspicious about the so-called design pop (which often embraces post-dubstep vibes within it) being very predominant today. You know one could produce it in his/her cellphone very easily and mostly is excessively polished and artificial. At times it lacks soul and spirit. Fortunately this case is mostly spirited and enjoyable to live up to one`s expectations. One is sure Andrea is indifferent toward post-dubstep neither substantially nor formally (at Bandcamp you can find out his version of James Blake`s I Never Learnt To Share). Work the Middle is remixed by such artists/producers as Kodak To Graph, Kyson, Real, Grobbie, and Splinter. The issue is a bit in the discography of Bad Panda.

Comment: Samuel Andrè aka Ieva's 10-track issue is a beast. It is like a dragon with many heads which are to shake and burst flames from their unfathomable throttles. It starts off in a ghastly droning way by using poignant concrete music samples, microscopic noises, vocal samples of unknown origin and hissing electro-acoustic shards to design something truly stunning and memorable. On the other side, it is a sort of ambient music and clearly chatting up with anonymity. It might remind you the first three albums by Tim Hecker. Later on, the (dis)course of Ieva's music turns into something surprising because it will be the sort of post-rock though a weird and staggering one. More profoundly, it chimes like being played by hippies from the 22nd century full of magic, elemental touch and power of nature. Being obviously more educated and sophisticated than nowadays rabid feminist and neo-Marxist crap imbued with useless exaggerations, warped political correctness and artificial restrictions. It is the philosophy of escapism being something natural and organic and fairly appealing. It can be considered a sort of rock music though with some reservations because other stylistic elements are there around ready to intervene. Let's listen to Implants, it is a spacey jangle pop with glitches and mystical singing of unknown language. It showcases a perfect balance between experimental and affectionate approach. Musically it slightly reminds me of Paavoharju's Laulu Laakson Kukista (2008, Fonal). Later on, it turns towards the emotionally more buried and hushed approach the album started with. In a nutshell, the result is an excellent issue not only in the world of post-rock and ambient world but in overall. The issue is a part of the discography of a finest one, Test Tube.

Paolo Veneziani – 204 (2012)

• Mood music 
• Ambient pop 
• Alternative
• Kraut-techno 
• Minimal synth 
• Avant-electronica 
• Glitchtronica 
• Techno 
• Ambient 
• Electronic pop

Comment: it is great to be back again at the catalogue of Test Tube, a fine imprint within the web-audio world. Paolo Veneziani is an experienced musician who has been producing music for approximately twenty years. His 8-track outing 204 is something which used to flicker between rhythms and textures, between more comforting moods and more edgy electronic vibes, between buried sonic elements and quite startling effects, though these elements are aligned densely or placed on top of each other on occasion. It is especially characteristic at the ending track (next life) where the silent pause is followed by an erratic, spasmodic electronic torrent. Paolo Veneziani is poignant by describing his children with proper names. For instance, the opening track Frenetic Indecision is about cut-up breaks and hirsute glitches allowing no permission to land within the first minute of the track. However, the composition will be channelized into a fabulous psychedelic kraut-techno flicker. Indeed, it does have an elegant indecisive intention to thrive through different dots and loops. The same could be said about the rest of the issue as well. Fortunately the inner configuration of the compositions is set up in a way to hold their integrity due to frantic dynamics and also being united by similar spirituality and deconstructed parts of having similarity across the tracks. Slender is a contemporary counterpart of minimal synth with exquisite (even tongue-in-cheek) shades of lo-fi, and DIY aesthetic. At Orange Drops the influence comes out from the German kling-klang and Kraftwerk-esque aesthetic, however, as a wise artist, Veneziani does it in seminal way. It is what we could call retro(futuristic) musicvon its own. By the way, there is a track, From The Past wherein atmospheric layers are rounded out by intense feedback effects and shrill signals. It is painful and ennobling at the same moment. All of that represented over there is about loading and thereafter it is let out. Ejaculated staggeringly. Eargasmic one. The same could be said about the issue in general. The frantic loop indeed.

Auxcide – of Atoms and Stardust (2012)

Pxl-Bot

Bandcamp

• Chiptune 
• Alternative dance 
• 8-bit 
• Tracker music 
• Nintendocore 
• Chipbreak 
• Electro pop 
• Bitpop 
• Electronic music

Comment: US-based Auxcide takes journey across chiptune terrains which despite being spiked with hirsute rhythms and melodic roughness and subtle noise levels beneath and aside reveal brighter side coming out from inside. Catchy melodies being spiced up by bittersweet melancholy take the listener over. By listening to some chiptune issue it sounds like a very welcome guest from the past maybe due to nostalgic feels related to game consoles from the 90s though all we are aware of the fact it all started one decade earlier with such programmes as Commodore 64, and with computers like Amiga, and Atari. Although it was the childhood of the computer music it still sounds refreshingly today. It might be because the matrix of it is accustomed to the standards of a nowadays pop song. It might be vice versa as well. It is a nice output by Pxl-Bot.

Miquel Parera Jaques – Empty Space (2012)

• Abstract 
• Avant-garde
• Avant-electronica 
• Minimalism 
• Drone 
• Noise drone 
• Micronoise 
• Microtonal 
• Experimentalism 
• Experimental electronica 
• Non-music

Comment: by watching the spongy cover print of this 6-track issue it could be said it describes the outing quite well. Indeed, it is a gaunt collection of signal-alike progressions which used to reach maximum from its minimal premisses. Mostly it is relied on shrill, noisy droning as if coming from the sonic laboratory. On the other side, it is not surprising at all because the Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain-based artist is being active as a producer and interested in the sound in the first place. Because of that his sound can be considered an example of anti-music, the kind of sonic formalism. Furthermore, it is determined partly by music programmes such as SuperCollider, and Puredata, therefore representing the collaboration between artificial intellect, and human being`s flexibility. The big question is – how it is possible to create the most desolate and dejected soundscapes, could it be done by the human being alone or does he/she need some assistance by machines as well? How it is the most proper way to evaluate it? Yeah, it is intriguing by its concept and by its sound being released on tecnoNucleo.

• Alternative dance 
• Tekno

Comment: the German-based Krata imprint presents the remixes of V3 which was initially written by the collaborative act of Taer & Fehder and being the first release of various artists on the record label. The tech-house track is covered by five different projects. More profoundly, there are up examples of bubblegum techno, gritty mid-tempo electronic rhythmic music, gritty electro and tekno threads, thudding bass music, and more “serious” echoes and ill-omened hisses of post-industrial tinged techno music. More profoundly, there are represented such artists Pronom49, Electric Control, and Marco Fagox, Micha, Qatarsis, and Syn:K. And of course, Taer & Fehder with their axial edit to be the reason for all of that. At times it is emotionally highly catchy (by Marco Fagox), at times more restrained thereof reflecting upon everyday life of ours with its hig tides and low tides. All in all, it is a solid issue.

• Dark ambient 
• Post-industrial 
• Neoclassical 
• Musique concrète

• Glitchtronica 
• Synthwave 
• Alternative

Comment: Isoleren Lawaii is a one-man-project from Nimes, France who is also known as Syndrôm, Egg Nebula and establisher of the experimental music imprint Pavillon36 Recordings. Similarly his own music is exquisitely experimental operating with rhythms, glitches and sublime drones. The EP clocks in at a 24 minute, however, embracing a bunch of intriguing sonic combinations, ill-omened echoes and rhythmic solutions (from glitched-out techno debris to overwhelming broken beats) which are markedly influenced by more serious, ominous genres such as dark ambient/illbient, and neoclassical music. Turn Off Your TV is a different turn where a spacious synthwave layer and vague techno rhythms are interspersed among tittle-tattle of the children. Emotionally it is depressing and ennobling at the same time. The issue is a part of the discography of Sirona-Records, another label headed by the Frenchman (Arnaud Barbe aka Pollux). In a nutshell, the result is captivating in its menacing ambush.

Ev3nmorn – Solar Waves (2012)

Oddot

• Drag house 
• Witch house 
• Post-whatever 
• Electronic music 
• Alternative

Comment: you could only imagine is it the proper sound of solar waves, the waves which are both deadly and the fountain for life on Earth. This issue of 7 compositions is a part of the so-called witch house/drag house movement which rather is being ominously gothic and glowering yet by listening to the outing it casts lots of shades with bright glimpses and synthesised beams. It might be the artist's sun is thoroughly artificial and unconventionally cold, therefore it could be called the anti-sun, the anti-star. Let's speak some words about the music as well – you could imagine the majesty of Lycia played only on synthesisers though frequently those moments are banged up by poppy tootles and flickering electronic progressions imbued with vocoder drenched and echo filled vocals on the occasion. It was released in 2012 when the witch house/drag house genre was yet very actual. Fairly nice result indeed being a part of the discography of Oddot.

Sister Soleil – Haunted EP (2012)

Sirona-Records

Bandcamp

• Alternative pop 
• Indie rock 
• Electronic pop 
• Remix 
• Trip-hop 
• Power pop

Comment: it is an intriguing issue by Sirona-Records firstly because of twofold appearances in sound – because trip-hop beats meet indie rock and Russian language is intertwined with English. And indeed, it is frequently about Soleil (Sun), and obvious escapism from the world of the human race. Mostly it is power pop inflected sound, at times it is immersed in heavy echoes and stomping beats and ominous hip-hop chants. That's all – the words do not have enough power to convey the essential impression of it. It is quite simple and sophisticated at the same time – thereof being mind-provoking). At times it is conveyed by a female vocal, at times by a male vocal, and it is captivating thanks to those sultry labyrinthine meanderings and spaced-out electronic hovers which open up a free entry into a mystical world. It is a freeing experience where it is also represented the touch of famous Trent Reznor (at Illum Tangendo). Get it and listen to the project of the Greece born Stella Katsoudas.

Stereoshape – New Vintage (2012)

Bandcamp

• Nu jazz 
• Breaks 
• Funk soul 
• Alternative dance 
• Brass pop 
• Synth rock 
• Soft rock 
• House

Comment: this is a magnificent dance pop interface made up of catchy funk, soul, nu jazz, house and brass pop threads. It is highly dance appealed, sexy, sweaty and rhythmic. In a word, I am saying the words being tautological with regard to the extraverted rhythmic music. Nonetheless there are represented some deviations from the main formula where the artist is immersed in silky dreams and velvety longing. Furthermore, the issue proves that a scope within the dance music by a contemporary artist could be very wide having no doubts and spoiling considerations. Just take them off to get full sway over one's body language and mood. Just listen to it to get convinced of the quality of this 9-piece issue. It is not a disposable issue, because it will not be an issue in ages. It is an exalting cocktail for all ages from Mainz, Germany. The project`s newest issue Laser Lori awaits to be listened.

Hat Goblin – Brandishing My Conch EP (2012)

Eye Machine Recordings

Archive.org

• Singer-songwriter 
• Indie rock 
• Lo-fi 
• DIY 
• Alternative rock

Comment: just breath in and be ready to start off listening to this 7-track issue though there is not much happening at all. It is based on shrill guitar twanging and intoning by a slacker musician called Chris Bading from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. By mentioning his slacker side I meant only his aesthetical, primitive approach. Otherwise Chris Bading is highly prolific I guess you have no time to enumerate all his issues at Bandcamp, for instance. It could be said the recent whole chimes like being played as one homogeneous piece. However, having gotten many listening times behind I would compare it with some kind of acoustic session by an archetypical grunge man wherein the listener can discern more colours rather than just being a monochromatic flicker. At times his attitude is being more relaxed, at times being starkly desperate and emotionally strident. As we know very well the premise of one sort of art is to be spawn across the spiked way with tears, sweat, and pain. As a result of psychosis and the instability of a state of mind. In a word, it is a quintessential home recording example where the guitar and enterprising will are needed to demolish the prototypical blueprint of masculine man with guitar. Yeah, it reminds me of a sweet span of time in the end of the 00s when such artists started to appear to the limelight. The issue is a part of the discography of Eye Machine Recordings.

Arín Dodó – Sinfonías espaciales en el Planeta Ynos (2012)

CRLM Office

• Avant-garde 
• Experimentalism 
• Electro-acoustic 
• Dada music 
• Improvised music 
• World music 
• Free jazz

Comment: Arin Dodò is a collective, which consisted of five members at least at the time of creating and issuing this fabulous 14-piece issue. More profoundly, the release is based on improvised suites being arranged on such instruments as tablas, didgeridoo, clarinet, double bass, piano, and some other ones. At times the voice is exploited in dadaist manner either being elaborated or being presented naturally. In general, the result is frantic and versatile because of conjuring up intriguing and mind-provoking combinations both in sound and stylistic diversity. By kindred souls the combo reminds of Dadala where free jazz meets other styles as electronica, electro-acoustic music and noise in many different manifestations. Furthermore, Arin Dodò adds also a world music dimension to it. It is needless to add that different experimental jazz phases from bebop and post-bop to modal jazz used to surface throughout the course. The issue is a part of the discography of CRLM Office. Fabulous.

The Dreams – Morbido (2012)

Bandcamp

• Lo-fi 
• Post-punk 
• Experimental rock 
• No Wave 
• Alternative rock 
• Psych-rock 
• Neo-psychedelia 
• Avant-rock 
• Acid rock

Comment: My first impression about the Strasbourg, French duo The Dreams was spawned approximately 6-7 years ago when they released an EP or was it a single under the French imprint Beko DSL. By hearing the first chords by them I knew it would be a favourite one within the discography of the imprint. Armelle Oberle, and Emmanuel Satti`s long-running issue is something very special because of getting power from different sources, however, nonetheless staying a stark rock and roll instance. For example, the issue starts off like a shamanic whirlpool with darkened rhythms, spacey organs and stoned guitars, which later will be shuffled and ordered otherwise. Their power emerges from a psychedelic music tradition though this might say nothing because the psychedelic pigeonhole is truly voluminous embracing an enormous number of movements and tendencies. However, they are not an usual exemplar because their organs are frequently amplified to a maximum and the Armelle Oberle`s voice and singing manner is exalted and ecstatic accompanied by low-end yet challenging cadences and always loud and resounding guitars. Furthermore, the duo used to chime obsessively similarly to Suicide, for instance. In general, one could discern similarity with other No Wave artists either. The Dreams shows us clearly it hides very future for rock music to get on with being not lame and cliché-filled. In a word, it is a swarm of excellent leftfield compositions.                      

Sawi Lieu – Fluorescence (2012)

Experia

• Noise 
• Post-rock 
• Crust punk 
• Rhythmic noise 
• Experimental rock 
• Dreamwave 
• Avant-rock 
• Ambient 

Comment: the Indonesian music scene continues to surprise me. My earlier experiences were hooked up with the Indonesian indie scene, and an one-man-project called Cortical whose issue Entropy EP (2015, Yes No Wave) was a fabulous insight into the cutting-edge progressive rock/RIO world. However, Sawi Lieu`s issue Fluorescence deserves its name because of radiating vivid rays of light on different frequencies and in different directions. At times the issue is calmed down drifting somewhere between ambient and blissful chillwave/dreamwave landscapes (Crystal Vibration). Indeed, the piece chimes like an ambient music composition being produced and subjugated to exotica pop/tiki music ideology. However, the track is in stark contrast to the next piece I-ON, which is a downright attack through the torrents of blasting drum rhythms, zombie vocals and signal-alike electronic sounds and synthesised overdrives and flickering bold bass waves. However, the ending synthesiser passage unites these two compositions together. In a word, it is the atmospheric crust punk. It is followed by Lifetime Imaging, the short-running track wherein atmospheric layers are propelled by tectonic, noisy blasts. The same could be admitted about a track named Absorpsi though the latter involves ill-omened hisses and loops nearby. Resonansi will end this 7-notch issue with ovoid-shaped guitar echoes cranking up loudness until it becomes resonate. All in all, the whole is a tumultuous journey, which makes the listener to get aroused. It is a very fine issue being a part of the discography of Experia Net Label.                            

Deaf In Italy – A Series of Simple Gestures (2012)

Lumi

Lumi

• Synth pop
• Electronic pop
• Indietronica
• Post-punk
• Minimal synth
• Ambient pop
• Neoclassical
• Synthwave
• Shoegazetronica
• Alternative dance
• Darkwave
• Art pop

Comment: this bunch of 13 tracks used to be quite rare because of being one of two issues being ever released on Lumi Netlabel. In general, it might be an example of synthwave issue because all those sounds seem to be produced by electronic keyboards only though stylistically the release will vary throughout the course. For instance, one of my most favourite pieces within it Fragments Behind Colour has been managed to trudge at an interface between shoegaze, darkwave and concrete music. Indeed, the ill-omened tendencies in sonic creation could be traced in other compositions either, for instance, at Matter In Motion (there are up even some ambient and post-punk progressions thereby reminding of Durutti Column`s aesthetic, for example). In other tracks the music is virtually dominated by minimally designed synth progressions with subtle ambient flavours. Furthermore, not only synthesizer- induced sounds do arouse one`s minds and feels because there is a flock of rhythms of diverse kind which used to draw mind-boggling patterns and all of the at will be amalgamated into the synergic whole. The listener could feel himself/herself to be subjected to intriguing audible manipulations and compounds where no one could feel himself/herself lonely. Even if he/she feels himself/herself lonely then it is a quite different sort of loneliness because of being caused by a crafty aesthetic burden which necessarily comes over you. It could finally be said Deaf In Italy`s A Series of Simple Gestures is the solid streamlined drift between poppy indie electronica and elegantly rejecting dark-hued art pop.

Comment: I have no chance but to shamelessly praise this issue of 2 lengthy compositions (both of them clock in at a 27 minute). Indeed, it is a magical experience to listen to this masterpiece where every sound seems to be determined yet all those sounds used to flow in an organic, effortless way. One could hear the swaths of panoramic sounds which used to constitute the main line however the elements are streamlined by efferent and afferent sounds which are birthed from nothing and ready to go back there. One could enjoy subtle glitched-out chords atop and flute flickers and indecipherable yet epic human voices and accelerated sonic effects and the crackles of wondrous concrete sounds which truly make difference and it might be due to their minimal nature. Given that it is not a disjointed aural example of involving staccato sounds and jerky parts at least by deciding emotionally. Even if it used to be in the opposite position de facto it does mean sense at all. Indeed, it is quite surprising of how such sort of minimal music could arouse emotions and sensuous enjoyment through sparse and austere progressions and structures. Given that might it be related to the essential functioning of the human brain? Might it be the representation of circuitry of the ganglions and synapses below the cerebral cortex? Furthermore, it is an extraordinary issue because all those dreamily chugging, at times even hyper-realistic aspects used to develop in a slow manner and eventually result in the silent crescendos. The project comes out of Syktyvkar, Udmurtia, Russia and their issue is a part of the formidable discography of Top-40.
