Vaatican Records - "Sampler N°30" (2014)
5/27/2015
SC#006 VA Compilation (2014)
/Experimental electronica, Glitchtronica,
Dubstep, Ambient dub, Electro, Space music, Leftfield/
Comment: Symbiotic Cube is a record label from Cologne, Germany, the home
city of an essential krautrock group named CAN. CAN was a combo who liked to
produce frantic and cutting-edge yet strongly danceable compositions, at times
more funky, at time more disco, at times more reggae-inclined. This menagerie
of 10 tracks involves also dance-appealed numbers though they chime in a more
remarkably electronic and software-based way. The miscellany includes artist
worldwide (from USA to Iran, from Russia to Mexico). The whole is masterfully
selected and compiled extending from emotive, almost pop-induced electronic
music and electro to more cut-up, sheltered and hidden compositions. In any
cases, if you are planning to organize a space journey this example is a good
source to get some moody music for relaxing in these days. There are represented
such projects as Odepth, Andi Finger, Abduct, Leaving the Planet, GLASKIN,
Reverse Bullets, Rowan J. Thyme, YBSTN, Tzeshi, and r.m.ʝ〜ʎ. In a word, come close to it to discover the asset of it.

Ekleipsi Net-Label Halloween Compilation (2007)
/Neofolk, Dark folk, Funeral
metal, Neoclassical, Space rock, Post-classical, Dark Wave, Shoegaze,
Breakbeat/
Comment: honestly, what kind of music could be
expected from the Halloween compilation else but dark-hued, doleful, ominous
and overwhelming aesthetic examples pouring out from any chord and rhythmic
staple. Furthermore, no one can blame this compilation of having blanched
outfit and nature (except the bloof, of course, thought to be delivered to
witches and other supernatural beings). More profoundly, there are represented
30 tracks of disparate edges of the spectrum replete with black and grey-filled
shades, extensive dread appeal, and phantasmal murmurs here and there. At times
it is solemn and epic, at times rhythm and echo centred. There are represented
such artists as Darrell Waters, Blue Skies Bring Tears, Shadegrown, Noctiflora,
The Light Beyond, The Silence Industry, Jupiter Make`s Me Scream, Art Of
Empathy, Aesis, Aritus, CriadCrias, Schattenwald, Comascape, Surrain, Milkrun.
By the way, most artists on it have two tracks represented. In a word, goth
kids come over here to grab it for yourselves.

OverClocked ReMix - Super Mario 64: Portrait of a Plumber (2014)
/Chiptune, 8-bit, EDM, Remixes, Alternative
rock, Fusion, Nintendocore, Mood music, Chipbreak/'
Comment: this 21-track
miscellany involves many artists with disparate approaches/remixes ranging from orthodox
8-bit/tracker/nintendocore music templates to more moody and orchestrated
progressions and organ driven jazz rock/fusion excursions, bouncy electronic
dance music, cloudless film score induced compositions and even majestic guitar-based rock music. I guess this might be a
sort of challenging sonorous smorgasbord for any plumber who is prone to take
hold of more pretentious music rather than listening to this one which mostly come
from the adult-oriented radio stations. More profoundly, eventually this
creates the feeling you can perceive after an incisive rain torrent and at the
time of the generation of a rainbow arch across the clouds. On these two discs are represented such artists as halc, Nutritious, Sole Signal, Tuberz McGee, Scaredsim, Brandon Strader, The Coop, prophetik, Fishy, Fratto, Mikeaudio, Argle, Sir Jordanius, Theory of N, G-Mixer, Electric Concerto,

Rosario Indie - Compilado 2014 (2014)
/Indie pop, Psychedelic
rock, Alternative dance, Alternative rock, Fuzz pop, Electro-indie/
Comment: it is a decent miscellany of disparate indie pop tendencies – ranging from common indie pop progressions, dreamy pop reveries and dance-appealed notches to krautrock influenced motorik beats, knee-deep psychedelic reflections and clamant outcries of guitar sounds. In a word, this compilation involves plenty of synth sounds, electronic manipulations, fetching guitar chords and crossover sounds, This compilation of 17 tracks is related to Rosario, a city in Argentina. Indeed, it gives you a good overview about indie music in Rosario, and Argentina either. There are represented such artists as Mi Nave, Oscar Favre, Daddy Rocks, Juani & Checho, Proyecto Sarajevo, Vacaciones en Globo, Juli Camelli, Helena Nav, SÉNOR CASCO, ńńńń, Hombre de Color, Jubany, Té de Indio, Korben Dallas, Rejected & The X Club, Cromattista, Alpha Centauri. Most ditties are sung in Spanish.

nonlips - A Collection Of Songs Recorded By The Flaming Lips (2011)
/Covers, Lo-fi, DIY,
Alternative pop, Indie pop, Psychedelic pop, Space pop/
Comment: Wayne Coyne curated combo is a lucky
one because of producing music what they wish themselves to create while the
albums are bought by thousands of people. The more time goes on the more
frantic their aesthetic approach seems to develop – they are an apparent avant-garde
combo within the major stream of pop music. There are up 17 covers with Lips`
songs reflecting upon Lips` psychedelic and space pop explorations and mellow
electronically tinged soft pop tendencies being so actual in recent production.
Furthermore, these artist represented on the miscellany add lo-fi and DIY
coloration to the pot. Let`s listen to it – it`s thought-provoking and chill.
It is a compilation where music is made by members of The Flaming Lips Message
Bored communities (2002-present).

VA – Movin On (2006)
/Glitchtronica, Experimental
techno, Abstract electronica, Avant-electronica, Improvised music, Minimal
techno/
Comment: although this
miscellany of 14 compositions was released approximately 9 years ago the whole
chimes truly impressive and refreshing today as well. The composition was a
part of the discography of a record label, Minus-N which disseminated the seeds
of experimental electronic music throughout the 00s. As previously said the
result is outstanding because of revealing some best sides regarding
experimental electronic and abstract/minimal techno compartment. Although the
shape of these tracks might be seen as austere, desolate or bleak at the first
glance the more you are ready to immerse in it the wider and warmer the content
will seem to the listener. Indeed, it can be said the result is fairly
appealing (not quite sexually appealing unless you are imagining to have sex
with robots fed by high AC/DC voltage loaded cables). Eventually you can
conclude the result is minimalist rather than somehow disadvantaged. In any
cases, there are represented such artists as Claudia Bonarelli, .at/on,
goem/fdw, The Suffragettes, Shalma, Lod, g_n44f, Motor, Masaya Sasaki, Andrey
Kiritchenko, Pero, Salmon, Muffrare, Jos Smolders. The compilation is mandatory.

Quattroannidiversi – ViVeriVive (2015)
/Art rock, Indie rock,
Singer-songwriter, Indie folk, Alternative pop, Post-punk/
Comment: ViVeriVive is
an Italian record label who has recommended many Italian artists with disparate
aesthetic interests and impulses to the world. However, this compilation of
seven tracks by seven musical projects is more guitar and drum-heavy and many
artists on it used to draw influences from seminal art punk, post-punk, and No
Wave scenes. On the other side, some tracks on it are more restrained and
folk-inclined ones. It is thought-provoking music performed in Italian. The are
such artists as Zinalbo, Faro, Gio Fattoruso, Reazione Acustica, Rudolfo Toè,
Il Nostro Tempo Violento, and Lullabier.

Totokoko Christmas Compilation 5 (2014)
/Folktronica, Modern
classical, Alternative, Indietronica, Conceptual, Cowbell indie/
Comment: actually it is
never late to listen to Totokoko label related (Xmas) compilations because
music represented over there has no time related barriers. The compilation
reflects upon the Japanese label`s sonorous nature – from soothing indie electronic
and folk related programmed music to more IDM and modern classical centred
compositions. Some songs are embellished with field recording/electro-acoustic
shells. Despite their predominantly glitchy body nine artists/compositions
inhabited over there will reveal their sensitive soul and warm-riddled heart. More
concretely, there are up such projects as Henri Almond, Morimoto Naoki, OOOQ,
Mitsuyoshi Matsuda, Shayou, Junya Nishimura, Koji Maruyama, and Ryosuke Miyata (ex.Miche).
Enjoy modern Xmas songs.

Poverty Electronics Vol. 2 (2014)
/Noise, Power electronics,
Leftfield, Avant-garde, Experimentalism/
Comment: it is often
asked how one could distinguish between bad and good noise music. It will be
even more problematic because of noise music frequently used to converge with
other styles, for instance with power electronics, industrial and experimental
electronic music. Noise music does not mean the kind of harsh noise anymore as
previously it used to be. However, the recent compilation of 18 tracks is a
fascinating gathering of impulses and chips of the abovementioned styles. There
are up in a row such artists as Schemawound, Wozzeck, datewithdeath, Ryan
Stanley, Jon Thoresen, mhzesent, mutant.R.I., Big Purr, Nathan J Carter, A
Raja`s Mesh Men, NRIII, DJ Conical Bore, Sickle Cell Maneuvers, Der
Domestizierte Mensch, Stormhat, Cool Person, Rubbish, and AG Davis.

Beko_cs02 (August 2010)
/Indie pop, Alternative pop,
Indietronica, Electronic, Dream pop, Ambient pop/
Comment: as you can see a huge amount of stylistic tags above this compilation of 21 tracks embraces a lot of artists from the modern indie music spectrum. Mostly it is dominated by synthetic, keyboard percolated orchestrations and tenuous vocals. Indeed, the guitars do have a backseat role within the case. The miscellany was issued 5 years ago and it can say at the moment that some of these artists have gained popularity meanwhile and are solidly represented in most important webzines. For instance, Blackbird Blackbird, Porcelain Raft, Foxes In Fiction are those ones. Additionally there are represented such artists as Fluker Love, Black Coffee & Cherry Pie, Wizard Oz, Kites Sail High, Raw Moans & Party Trash, Petit Tambour, Cosmic Sound, Pandit, Liquid Days, Kiss Kiss Fantastic, Lay Bac, The Beauty, Vacation Dad, Mon Insomnie, The Cq, Hard Mix, Winter Drones, Coma Cinema.

Tunguska Electronic Music Society - Siberian Jungle Vol.5 (2014)
/Drum and bass, Electronica,
Jungle, Mood music, Dream and bass/
Comment: TEMS is a collective of artists and musicians from Siberia, Russia who
have issued a barrage of compilation albums during the last 7-8 years. They
have got many followers all around the world. This time their key word is
jungle, though their approach is without orthodox one because of mixing those
pumped rhythms with synthesizer invoked magniloquent panoramas and drowsy new
age-y feeling and even indie electronic and jazzy whiffs. It is a moody album
rather than having intention to conquer the club venues. However, there are up
some exceptions either. Get yourself the headphones and listen to this decent
agreement between those spaced-out panoramas, blissful synth touches and spicy
rhythms. It used to ignite some memories from my childhood while watching and
enjoying the film score of such cartoon as Tayna
Tretey Planety (1981, Sojuzmultfilm). Indeed, the compilation embraces a
lot of outstanding compositions. There are represented such artists as Susanin,
N-Box, Black Dominates, Joint Stock Galaxy, Berkheya, Cj Ools, Parhelia, SND,
Van. In a word, TEMS did it again. It is obviously one of the best compilations
from the year 2014. The more you listen to it the more it winds up.

CKKO40 - Kito Sounds 6 (2014)
/Electro-indie, Alternative
dance, Downtempo, Electro pop, New Wave, Dub, Electronic pop, Techno pop, Synth
wave, Minimal wave, Kraut-electro, Alternative pop/
Comment: CHEZ.KITO.KAT
Records is a French label which set off in 2006 to promote mind-provoking electronic
pop music. The recent compilation involves 17 pieces by such artists as
Artabana, Synthesis, Beat For Sale, Jürgen Jogurt, Binary & Dyslexic,
Det90, E1000, Mr Bios, Shizuka, Kuston Beater, In Circles, Alexandre Martinez,
No Drum No Moog, Dr Geo, Daily Vacation, Arbee, Bochum Ludmila. The compilation
is outstanding because of going out on a limb with regard to traditional synth
pop and electronic pop music examples springing to mind. Why? There can be
drawn parallels upon such movements as minimal wave, post-punk, spaced-out
synthesizer rock, dub, and krautrock which definitely would have impact on the
abovementioned artists in a more or lesser extent. Although the music presented
there is ambitious it does not sacrify its emotional side. Get in those 80
minutes to get a parallel world for yourself.

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.

I Heart Noise - Boston Not LA Vol. 3 (2014)
- No Wave
- College rock
- Experimental indie
- Electro-rock
- Jazz
- Leftfield
- Experimental rock
- Avant-rock
- Psych-rock
- Trip-hop
- Dada music
- Crossover
- Indietronica
- Hip-hop
Comment: recently I
reviewed a Boston residing combo, The Mules`s two-track issue 7`` of combining punk rock with No Wave
and experimental rock aesthetics. This compilation of 9 tracks is also about
Boston, more profoundly, about Boston-based label I Heart Noise related
artists. There are represented such artists as School For Robots, Skyjelly,
Mary Casiello, Con-Tex, Andrew Geano, Twink, The Sound Down Cellar, Valentin Price,
and Jenova 7. The base of the miscellany is mostly of how to splice rock music with
electronic or noise music experiments and electro propulsions. Of course, there
are some exceptions either – for instance, Mary Casiello`s I Can't Be Tamed (Songs I Hate) is more jazz and improvised music
oriented composition. Jenova`s Heroin For
Dilla is an insight into a sublime instrumental hip-hop/trip-hop rhythm
world. The most challenging and uncanny track comes out from Con-Tex whose Somehow There You Are is composed of warped
electronic and acoustic instruments layering which in turn is laced with crawling
dada-near vocal manifestation. In the aggregate, it is a fabulous and
varicoloured sum of spellbinding and charismatic compositions worth to be
enjoyed and get appreciated.

Jazz Friends – Autumn Leaves (2013)
- Nu jazz
- Mood music
- Chillout
- Acid jazz
- Art music
- Easy listening
- Smooth jazz
- Downbeat
Comment: this miscellany
of 9 tracks issued approximately 10 ten months ago is relevant at the moment
either. In fact, it may behove for any time. The smorgasbord starts off with a fabulous regatta pop example
by Roberto Daglio combining together easy-paced cognition, 70`s ending jazz progressions
reminding a little bit of Miles Davis, and Jaan Kuman, for instance. However,
in addition to it there are represented also jazz-induced mood music, more art
music progressions, smoky downbeat shuffles, and more contemporary electronic/acid/nu
jazz grooves and hovers. In a word, it guarantees to the listener good feeling
and pleasant state of mind. Beyond Roberto Daglio there are represented Stefano
Mocini and Liquid Frame, JAZ, PeerGyntLoboGris, Liquid Frame, DavidKBD, Nujazz
Trio, Thorvald Odin, and Lino Del Vecchio.

A&C Download Sampler (2014)
- Funk
- Electro-indie
- Alternative rock
- Poptronica
- Baroque pop
- Neokrautrock
- Indie pop
Comment: Arts &
Crafts is an indie label based on Toronto, Canada whose well-known artists are
or has been Bell Orchestre, The American Analogue Set, Moby, Röyksopp, Stars,
The Hidden Cameras, Tricky, Los Campesinos!. The recent sampler includes such
artists as NO, Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering, Kevin Drew, Lowell,
Reuben and the Dark, Timber Timbre, Trust, and Zeus. Stylistically the
compilation used to veer into lush indie electronic and electro pop, circumspect
baroque pop, funk-inclined rock, straightforward but viable rock and roll, and
even an up-to-date version of krautrock. However, the catchiest and most
volatile track on it is Kevin Drew`s You
In Your Were, and more pretentious and distant one is Timber Timbre`s Curtains!?. In a word, the Arts &
Crafts`s sampler is compelling and worth to be enjoyed again and again. Subscribe to the label`s mailing list.

1-BIT WIZARDS - The Journey Begins (2013)
- 1-bit
- Chiptune
- Chipbreak
- Bitpop
- Psychedelic electronica
- Primitive electronica
Comment:
this
compilation of 13 tracks is a short-running one (ending at 34.12) involving
such artists as Fluidvolt, Factor6, Irrlicht Project, Warlord, Mind Body,
Shiru, Mister Beep, and TDM. More profoundly, the formula seems to be quite
simple – the artists provide 1 bit based sonic figures – the fine-grained
interaction between brisk rhythms and catchy melodies thus constituting a decent
whole. Furthermore, the listener can detect for various audible cognitions and
experiences being acquainted with already and new ones at the same time.
