Comment: before I started listening to this 4-track issue I had been listening to John McLaughlin's Molom (1995, Polydor), a very worth CD issue I once got from a second hand shop. Molom is a refreshing blend of world music having its peak particularly spotted on Mongolian music and on the other side by employing fusion textures, generic artsy explorations and New Age-y hovers. In a word, the warm-up was solid enough to continue with music having been produced in the mountains of southern part of France. Primitive Encounters is the artist's sophomore issue of which intention is to illuminate the forgotten tribes of our world. It is a fine example of how music should be produced to convey a wide and yet profoundly cultivating sweep over a listener's perception. All seems to be mind-provoking from scratch over there – from the mystically suggestive cover print to clear yet profound reverberations and clear-cut rhythmic lines and wobbly acidic electro whirlpools. Furthermore, Ben aka Bendja likes to incorporate Indian and Gypsy motives (Flamenco guitars used to shuffle back and forth) into the blend. Because of that the issue reveals some not so usual threads from inside out. The expressive outing is a part of the discography of 4Drops Productions which in turn is set up under the umbrella of Ektoplazm, the main platform for psytrance, darkpsy, Goa trance, and many other psy-affected styles.

Comment: I have heard by someone that ketamine as a drug used to cause the subject to endlessly laugh. What then about ketadrms? Is it then about an endless session of exuberant drumming/drum programming? This outing of nine compositions is about a tight mix of unnerving and even choked electronic propulsions and on the other hand one used to hear hip-hop chants, decelerated fatty basses, and lighthearted synthesised progressions atop. Is the latter mentioned facet die helle Seite des Mondes (the bright side of the Moon) mentioned in the title? By my personal opinion I am thinking of it as something easy-going due to those volatile yet impressive gears to be moving along the bouncy rhythmic backbone. The strength of this legendary Kreislauf-released issue can be characterised through its unorthodox, free-flowing nature. In fact, it may remind of those tendencies being prevalent at the end of the 60s in Germany which eventually led to establishment of a swarm of crazed groups called Krautrock. One can feel coherent profoundness and a synergistic essence to latch on to those slightly different tendencies and deceptively ramshackle structures. In a word, as you have already figured out it is a bloody top notch.
