/Ambient techno, Vaporwave,
Seapunk, Industrial techno, Experimental techno/
Comment: Shamane`s 10-track issue provides a
dense mix of experimental and industrial-tinged techno rhyhms harking back to
the legacy of Autechre and Throbbing Gristle and on the other side providing
more contemporary oneiric progressions in the style of vaporwave and seapunk,
though, at a more buried level. In true, at times these synth layers used to
evolve into remarkably gloomy atmospheric outputs or using a less emotional
language. Although the album is rhythm-based it is not a sort of dance music by
its nature at all – it is insistently experimental and explorative and
emphatically bit oriented and on the other side it used to talk to us a little
tongue-in-cheek (for instance, involving some “ironic” sounds being slightly
disjointed out of the context). All in all, the result is thought-provoking and
challenging.
