Comment: Wales is a great soil for outstanding personae and musical groups like John Cale, Super Furry Animals, and Gorky`s Zygotic Mynci. John Cale as a producer and musician was an influential innovator within the rock scene, the latter ones were beatific glimpses at the time of Britpop. By the way, the groups sang in their native Cymric language as well while exploring experimental tendencies within the indie and indie folk scenes. Broken Moods For House Kites is the solo project of Cardiffian Marc Davies and There There, Their Not is the debut album by him. Musically it merges airy synthesised progressions with light guitar/string chords and volatile orchestrations and gentle rhythmic flickers with one another while sustaining a recognizable experimental touch. It might be you can find out some similarities with the likes of Durutti Column, and Seefeel. The fabulous issue is a part of the discography of Kift Flipper, an imprint from Wales.

Comment: this batch of lush compositions is a decent example of how fine atmospheric panoramas could be mixed up with slow-paced rhythms (veering away from cinematic trip-hop and abstract hip-hop paces to melancholic downtempo vibes), however, which will result in highly moody outlets. It is the first (and entirely successful) effort by a British artist, called Benfro AKA B. Mason.

Min-Y-Llan/Bagpipe Whiskey The West Coast (Kift Flipper)

Wales`i muusikast rääkides tulevad ennekõike meelde kaks folgipõhjaga eksperimentaalset indie-ansamblit (Gorky`s Zygotic Mynci, Super Furry Animals), paar edetabeleid vallutanud rühmitust (Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia), paar uue aja ansamblit (Los Campesinos, Joy Formidable) ning üks karmima kõlaga punt (Feeder). Suurbritannia mõistes on kaguosa kahtlemata perifeeria - teistsuguse kultuurilisuse kants -, mis on siirdanud olulist ning (teise)tähenduslikku Briti popmaastikusse.

Verisulis plaadifirma Kift Flipper`i kolmas reliis on kahasse kirjutatud label`i kahe esimese üllitise autori - Min-Y-Llan`i ja Bagpipe Whiskey`i -, väidetavalt Pembrokeshire`i krahvkonna parimate technoratsanike poolt. Hip-hop-räppi ning "läänekallast" siit eest ei leia, kuid tulemuseks on 10-looline igati korralik ja mitmekülgne teos, mis avab programmeeritud kitarrimuusika/folktroonika, dünaamilise technopõrke, ämbiendi, downtempo ning moodsa klassika uksi. Nurgelised rütmid, kriipivad keel- ja pseudokeelpillid, nobedalt lippavad klaveriakordid, eepilised orkestratsioonid jpm moodustavad orgaanilise terviku (isegi sel juhul, kui need moodustavad teineteise suhtes ontliku järjestuse). Korraliku viimistluse, ideede eeskujuliku realiseerimise ning sentimentaalse lainetuse kombinatsioon on alati kõrgeid punkte väärinud.
