Comment: just discovered someone has tagged this 4-track outing with such cute labels as idiots music, noise, and stupid. What else could I assume but stick your arse with your stupidity. There must have been a serious brain damage to push such shit out of mouth. The first chords of 8-bit/tracker music/chiptune lead off these 19 minutes which later will be involved in catchy and exuberant dance-appealed beats full of key changes, varied rhythmic folds and delightful melodies. From one channel to be pushed over to the other one in an enchanting way. The Germany-based artist`s issue is a part of the discography of the Finnish Kahvi Collective.

Wald Geist – On Fire (2018)

WDG Music

Ektoplazm

Psytrance
Electronic music
Alternative dance
Goa trance
Rave music

Comment: it is a subsequent psychedelic trance issue I have listened to during a week. It appeals me due to those steeped and spiky rhythmic patterns, acidic synthesised grooves, and some mutant vowel effects here and there. Surprisingly at Blue Hour the mix is varied with guitar sounds in the beginning to later provide the path to a heavily stomping rhythmic moloch and throbbing electro frequencies. Throughout the course one can feel an exalted rave music feeling. The 5-track outing will be ended up with Wald Geist`s remix of Parra Nebula`s track Trick Or Treat. The issue is a part of the discography of WDG Music and of course, a part of Ektoplazm.

Comment: this 10-track issue consists of the collaborations by Tony Diana with different artists like Glen Sogge, Boson Spin, Tyler Jones, Darien Davis, Anthony Armondo, Lambmother, and Sergiu Salagean. In overall, the impression is mind-blowing due to intensifying and magnifying progressions based on murky ambient-infused landscapes, massive electro-acoustic rattling, spaced-out vocal ruffles and gleaming synthesised tentacles throughout the course. At times those impregnable blackened walls will be traded either for more softened rhythms or stellar sonic effects. What it would be like to travel to another dimension with music and then back again. You can hear it, you can feel it. Play it loud, partake physically and mentally in it. I guess the ultimate experience would be something mystical and out of this world. The powerful issue is a part of of the discography of a Portuguese imprint, Enoughrecords.

Abstract

Comment: as I see Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt likes to create guitar solos in liaison with other musicians. With regard to these split releases he has collaborated with such artists as Hopek Quirin, Martin Neuhold, and Jochen Arbeit. Chronologically Chicago, the US-born musician's collaboration with the latter named musician was the earliest one based on live recorded guitar manipulations. Undoubtedly such sort of music one cannot hear at a gig by Guns'n'Roses in the embodiment of Slash, and Duff McKagan, for example. Rather one might think of it as not being a guitar-based music at all because all the chords are heavily treated and mutilated. It is an absolutely different (parallel) universe with regard to the legends. It conjures up a fantasy loaded world as if the dwelling place for many horrendous supernatural creatures. It chimes like two metallic surfaces were rubbed against each other in a reverberant room (regarding the track by Jochen Arbeit). However, there is a major difference between the two 15-minute compositions. Jochen Arbeit's work is clean and clear-cut with bass loaded delays and echoes and sometimes employing hisses to be switched on and off. Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt's track, the aforementioned one to evoke ghosts in lobit and lo-fi manner. As if a stoned die-hard lo-fi enthusiast were played his own obtuse psychic shards. It reminds me of some of the most rejective moments by Johnny Crewdson, and his combo The Hirundu being created sometime in the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s. It also resembles my own very first music experiments due to have exploited different sort of artifacts and primitive instruments and tape manipulation in a maniac way. In fact, all the course is highly attractive. The spellbinding release is a part of the discography of Hortus Conclusus.
