Ryonkt - The World That Was Surrounded By A Deep Forest And Warm Light (2008)
/Space rock, Dream pop, Ambient, Crossover, Minimalism, Space folk/
Comment: Ryo Nakata aka Ryonkt is a Japanese musician who provides a 4-track issue. It involves the aspects of minimal ambient, spacious rock/folk, and bottomless dream pop (at least the lonesome chords or doleful, lingering riffs played on a guitar and amplified with the applications of digital sound processing). And of course, it is minimally structured and played on repetitive elements which in turn will be complemented with new yet almost invisible bits - less is more. In any cases, there is enough room between the margins of chords to unleash your dreams and positive feelings.
Stark Effect - Mic In Track (2003)
/Experimental electronica, Breakbeat, Indietronica, Hip-hop, Conceptual, Weird pop, Cut and paste, Crossover, Breaks, Sampledelic, Experimentalism, Avant-garde/
Comment: Stark Effect`s music ranges across a multitude of aspects of electronic music - from lush and relaxing electronica to more brooding and whimsical endeavours regarding the rhythms and upper layers which are infiltrated with spoken word snippets and humour (for instance, Bunnyrabbits, Satan, Cheese And Milk). Or Stop! I`m Watching TV which crosses the loops of guitar twangs with chopped paces and the entitled assertion thus blending indie, hip-hop, and funny glimpses with each other. There are up 5 notches wrapped up in 18 minutes. In a word, it is a quite weird, unconventional shit. It is not surprising at all because it is allowed to be issued on the legendary Comfort Stand.
I6NOIR - Death Wears Stripes (2011)
/Shoegaze, Dark wave, Neoclassical, Neofolk, EBM, Noir folk, Crossover, Experimental rock/
Comment: the debut album of Remo Randver`s project involves 14 tracks which take on murky themes built predominantly on the scope of hirsute guitars lines or lush string-relied strumming and gloomy synth sequences mixing up lofty dark wave-ish vistas with ethereal shoegaze-ish panoramas and neofolk/apocalyptic folk/noir folk-ish restart points and EBM-alike brooding. At times there is represented somehow calculated and feigned angriness or anxiousness, though mostly it is dominated by organic full of feeling streaming. The Estonian musician`s oeuvre reminds mainly of the doings by Lycia, Trance to the Sun, Wings of an Angel, Art Abscons, Scarlet Leaves. In a word, its is qualitative on its core and its peripheral creases.

Comptroller - Comptroller (2010)
Bandcamp
9.3
9.3
/8-bit, Breakcore, Noise, Chiptune, Electro pop, Experimental electronica, Avant-electronica, Tracker music, Nintendocore, Chipbreak/
Comment: it is hinted at that Comptroller lives in Edinburgh, Scotland and makes music exploiting old machines (Nintendo Game Boy, Commodore 64). His 10-track, self-titled album is fabulous thanks to permanently variegating rhythmic patterns, intriguing dodges and forays, and glowering, a little dark-sided propulsions. Sometimes it sounds rather like an electro-drenched indie/experimental pop group, however, having similarities with the likes of Suicide, The Silver Apples, or Clinic (for instance, Low Point). On the other side, Red Room is a chiptune-soaked counterpoint to drum and bass artists like Dillinja, and Panacea. Indeed, the progression schemes running on it into an exulting noise cave are highly up to level. Thirdly (or is it already fourthly?) it involves the bows of intense yet elegant gliding electro music. In a word, this is a bully publication by any means.
Emme - Eravamo Come Non Saremo Piu' (2012)
/Alt-folk, Dream folk, Organic electronica, Singer-songwriter, Experimental folk, Indie folk, Art folk/
Comment: there are up a bunch of sophisticated folk songs by Matteo Micheletti from Italy who offers up acoustic, string-based layers which are densely spiced up with the undercurrents of sonic effects (predominantly reverse effects) and the splinters of organic electronics. All the ditties are sung in Italian being produced and accomplished as dreamy and longing and bucolic ones. Micheletti as an artist and singer-songwriter can be compared with the likes of Artwood, Barbagallo, Nick Rivera, Winstonmcnamara, and Menion all the artists originating from the Apennine peninsula.
Dancefloor Outlaws - Ghetto Funk EP (2012)
/R`n`b, Bhangra, Plunderphonics, Hiptronica, Soul, Sound collage, Hip-hop, Urban music, Rap, Breaks, Club dance, Crossover/
Comment: the sonic pranksters Will Streetwise and Robin Parris aka Dancefloor Outlaws from UK provide a set of 4 tracks which used to bounce and shoot, mixing tightly up club vibes with the templates of black urban music (r`n`b, soul, hiptronica).In a word, everyone who is listening to it is inclined to dance and groove. Moreover, the listener can detect lots of familiar moments/artists from within the whole because it chirps like a sort of mixtape.
