Comment: are these ditties dreamy incantations for folksy people? What about the members of royal palace? I think the latter ones are listening to dull established music where the etiquette is more important than the essence of a sonic example. This 8-notch outing is as fancy as the dreams could be. Electronic synthesised layers and swirling effects are counterpointed by bubblegum-ish guitar handling and a sensual female voice. Indeed, the electronics and the woman's vox dictate the pace of the issue. A cute virgin goes to a well, meets a handsome bride and some months later will have a profound, long-lasting sexual intercourse with the overcoming orgasm at the end with galvanized, amplified guitars and spasmodic yet stepwise relieving electronic bubbling (at Four Woods). And the following and altogether final track Sesame Chime is just caressing after that. This is mundane and divine at the same time.

Comment: as much as I have understood this issue was originally released as a two-track tape in 1998 by Oblast Records but now being released on CS Industrial 1982-2010 it is divided into 12 parts. Musically it is as frantic as one decent industrial record should be. Lots of cacophonous and disrupted sounds having a deranged, probably misanthropic mind behind it. Stoned drumming and whistling noises and some well-known snippets taken from the cultural heritage to merge all of that into a loopy machinery. Some fucked-up beasts released from the cage to carve the aforementioned patterns with growls, groans, howls, moans. At times it chimes like a very shitty lo-fi black metal composition. Or... . In fact, you can himself define where begins black metal, and where it is an essential part of the noise music. You can partake in all of that magniloquent madness which reflects upon the rational and the irrational side of the human being, it reflects upon the tension and fruitful gap between the two sides. In the case, it is moulded into a bit frightening yet arousing sonic world.

  • Experimentalism 
  • Synth-pop 
  • Drone 
  • Dark ambient

Comment: undoubtedly Tatira's 12-track issue is a solid resistance against the established pop music even if borrowing elements from within it. It is kind of playful resilience full of different abysses and jolly tricks. To get out of this established circle, a sort of determined machine, the only way is to subvert the well-known, paved clichès. Of course, the other way is to produce the sort of music consisting of unusual, uncommon sounds and strange structures yet such sort of music would be standing alone. The better way could be just partly hijacking the acknowledged elements to build up a new structure. In fact, such artists as People Like Us, Ergo Phizmiz, and Cassetteboy have proved that quirky manner used to work. More profoundly, at Fire Everlasting you can hear exaggerated rhythmic structures and overgrown synthesised aesthetics and a lot of monkey-shines in overall and additionally there are up some noise built dodges and drone-y glimpses to even doom rock/metal and flourishing murky ambient appearances. It is a frantic drift between rational, and irrational tendencies due to which the history of human race would have been progressing. The mind-provoking outing is a part of the discography of Inam Records.

  • Alternative pop 
  • Synth-pop 
  • Crossover 
  • Dream folk

  • Cowbell indie 
  • Mexicana

Comment: it is a fine 6-track drift from Monterrey, Mexico based on dreamy vocal incantations accompanied by the varied backgrounds – at times it is backed up by sublime guitar strums and natural sounds like water ringing in the middle of artificial sounds, at times by more electronic beats and faint crackling and different blocks of synthesised chords and lofty brass waves coming to tower over the rest layers. However, to get a perfect album it should more have been saturated with torrents of intriguing noises, arousing glitches and a more cinematic feeling in overall. A more spiced soup a la Mexico should be allowed to the listener. More eruptions to have injected more dust and epic chaos into the mix. There is no other way. OK, Bon Voyage is a groovy, top tier one with those massive basses, distant voices and noises, glimmering, ellipse-shaped synths, suggestive singing and explosive brasses. But nevertheless, it is a solid release with intention to unite different folk forms from the traditional ones to the more experimental ones with one another or just representing them in a sequence.
