Anika`s Basement Show - My Tambourine Hands Are On Fire (2011)

CLLCT

8.8

/Singer-songwriter, Americana, Alt-folk, Indie folk, Lo-fi, DIY, Folk indie/

Comment: here are uploaded 10 minutes spreaded out over a pair of introspections of a type of intimate, circumspect ones by a singer-songwriter with the assistance of facilities such as a guitar/strings, lone harmonica, suggestive vocal manner, and much ambiance surrounding all of that. By the way, it is entitled as late night lo-fi and comes out of the bottomless realm of Bloomington-based CLLCT.

Kairon; IRSE! - the Defect in that one is bleach / We're hunting wolverines (2011)

Bandcamp
Lastfm

9.0

/Post-rock, Progressive rock, Ambient rock, Art rock, Experimental rock, Epic, Alternative, Chamber rock/

Comment: Kairon; IRSE! is a quartet from Kaustinen, Finland who offers up high-octane post-rock explorations embellished with some progressive and art rock/chamber music and even "lazy" jazz tendencies (I adore the mandolin-alike vapour around the riffs of guitars). The backbone of the issue relies on the massive guitar-and-drum gravity or on the other side it is abandoned to run on a more dreamy path and ambiance. There are some wondrous progressions on it (Soroche; Девочка парит в воздухе). However, their aesthetics reminds a little bit of another Finnish post-rock combo, called Magyar Posse.

Stuart Newman - Feel the Temperature Rising

Johan Reinhold - Shoot Me Down (The Kill Van Kulls remix) (2011)

The Kill Van Kulls
Soundcloud

8.5

/Electronic pop, Electroclash, Electro-rock, Remixes, Electro pop, Alternative dance/

Comment: this is a remix version of Johan Reinhold`s track Shoot Me Down. Honestly, I like this version more than the original one because it used to toy with more uplifting synth sounds and dashing vectors wrapped up in relieving propulsion. However, all those sounds are incessantly shooted back-to-back for every second and breath of your soul.

Liquid Metal Fast Breeder - Scribs (2011)

Bandcamp

9.5

/Noise rock, Space rock, No Wave, Crust punk, Electronic, Psychedelic, Avant-rock, Psych-rock, Krautrock, Experimental rock/

Comment: just a pair of tracks are represented here by Shane Zweygardt who is a representative of the Fort Collins, Colorado-based underground/cassette scene. The expression "liquid metal" seems to sound a little bit contradictory, yet, on the other side, his music outpaces all these theoretical and speculative gaps. More profoundly, the first track showcases the ultimate noodling on synths and frantic drumming immediately behind it drawing enthralling parallels upon Lightning Bolt, and CAN`s Tago Mago. In the second track all those labile structures prima facie will be replaced with the layers of thick cosmic electronica. Only good words can I have to hint at that.

Ixtlan - Galaxy Overload In The Circle Of 8 (2007)

Lastfm

8.9

/Experimental rock, Crossover, Ambient, Electronic pop, Kosmische Musik, Indie dance, Krautrock, Experimental electronica, Hip-hop, Dance rock, Psychedelia/

Comment: Bo Green, and Kent Holm do set you free investing in a hypnotic blend of motorik beats, acidic synth flourishes, idiosyncratic visions of dance rock-infiltrated hip-hop crossover examples. Of course, the duo`s music does not pretend to be a kind of usual music enterprise, moreover, it used to incorporate the concrete music frames and get heavily stucked in mumbling, somehow dizzy electronic paths and even funny dadaistic developments (Fool #9). But please do not forget the main topic is related to the Outer Space, though. You can draw parallels upon krautrock artists such as Droids, CAN, Tangerine Dream, The Cosmic Jokers, Neu!, and, of course, their fellow countrymen Joxfield ProjeX. In a nutshell, it is an intricate 9-track issue which needs many listening times to get grasped and adequately understood.

Wolfredt - Await

Frank Molder - Come With Me (2007)

1Bit Wonder
Lastfm

9.2

/Experimental electronica, Kosmische Musik, Psychedelic, Chill out, Breaks, Organic electronica, Downtempo, Mood music, Neokrautrock, Fusion/

Comment: there are up profound 10 tracks allowing you to get relaxed and watch inside yourself. Gleaming, dark blue-tinged electronic sentiments are hybridized with organic undercurrents and lofty kosmische progressions and, though less, with (psy)trance-hued breaks. Molder does chime at times like a decorous torchbearer of the best krautrock/Kosmische Musik and downtempo traditions. Those sonic effects, "whispers" and echoes based on the old school analogue synths are essentially captivating and uplifting. Indeed, we obviously come with You, Frank Molder.

aXid – Rave Addicts (2011)

Ektoplazm
Neurotrance

8.6

/Psytrance, Electro, Rave, Club dance/

Comment: AXid is a producer from Israel providing a handful of piercing, electro-drenched psytrance notches, however, a pair of them are co-operated with XSlash, another producer from the same country. These tracks can be evaluated due to their changeable shapes filled in with lots of minutiae veering out from machine-alike visions to more amusing enterprises.
