Comment: I have no doubts of the fact the artist gets it right musically. On the other side, your aptitude to connect the music with schizophrenia and capitalism might be much harder. I guess if you are listening to this 10-notch issue without earlier having seen the titles of the songs then you probably used to have no associations towards the aforementioned direction. Because it is a veritable instance of chilled-out music drifting somewhere between tranquil electronica, hovering beauty of ambient and more mundane indie and post-rock sound. It just picks you up and rolls you along with those serene orchestrations, serene piano music and smoothly knocked rhythms which used to pan within the aforesaid stylistic implications at a different degree. On the other side, you could never underestimate the role of forced propagandist value to hint at some problems even if the influences are no so direct. Thirdly it does have the reference of the title of a publication of the French philosophers Gilles Deleuze, and Félix Guattari. The release is a part of the discography of Tachyon. In a word, it is a bewildering issue which chats successfully invisible era between indie, ambient and emotive electronica coming in and leaving it in different combinations. It could be said each musical element contributes to a whole that is obviously more than the sum of its parts. The reception of the 41-minute issue by my side is very positive and filled with contentment in mu soul. I hope that our souls are not yet rotten and being in a schizophrenic stage due to some ravaging implications of capitalism. However, the communism is remarkably more destructive. If you are feeling yourself sullen by now and have no believe in that then have an immersive effort into investigation of the bygone century.

Comment: I might be feeling myself a little bit disturbed by listening to this 5-track issue. Firstly, it is an electronic music album in false manner where the listener can be a part of deliberately added interfering elements and naïve synthesized passages and primitive electronic appearances. On the other side, it is a highly catchy one thereby eliciting thoughts about the talented musician behind it. Musically it is a smooth case because those sonic needles are put to the forefront and integrated into the whole at the same time. Although the issue is quite short-running the EP includes a bunch of interesting dodges and threads into different styles and effects. What would I say about the title? Love and peace are both very essential topics in the existence of the humankind but the humour is that glue which is an important ingredient to guarantee inner integrity of the phenomena. It is nice to find hints at Slavoj Zizek, which is obviously an ironic stab toward hipsters who naturally like to cite the hipsters` philosopher. By giving attention to the titles of the EP one gets convinced to be true. And as you have already figured out that the first sentence of mine with regard to be slightly disturbed was just a hypothesis about my inner sensations. Now I am feeling the hypothesis come to be true. I am happy with that. Hands up!          

God Hates Sunday - Go To The Pure Land (2013)

• Neoclassical

• Neofolk
• Ambient
• Ambient folk

Comment: this 8-track outing is predominantly melancholic and restrained providing hyper-realistic atmosphere and slowly ascending and descending guitar arpeggios or hypnotically repeated chords here and there; there are presented some lyrics from ancient writings (Bodhidharma, for instance) and an exclusive remake of Tim Buckley´s Song To The Siren. Despite there is no action over there the result is suggestive and striking. In the first place, the album is meant to be submitted to the fans of neofolk/neoclassical, and ambient music

Effendorf - Chemtrails Suite EP (2011)

Tachyon

8.8

/Experimental electronica, Krautrock, Psychedelic rock, Avant-rock, Experimental rock/

Comment: there are represented three tracks spreaded out over 31 minutes in all. Effendorf takes on brooding, undulating sonic effects and intriguing click-clacks permanently popping out from within the structure. Sometimes it displays a more "precise" kind of electronica, sometimes rocks off in its psychedelic frame thus respectively reminding a little bit of some German music compilations on cassettes in the 90`s and the enthralling sonic alchemistry by the primary and secondary krautrock-related echelon, more profoundly, veering away from the doings by Conrad Schnitzler to Neu!, and Harmonia. The album will be ended by more aggressive, heavily synth-driven chords.
