beko DSL - beko_killshaman (2011)
/Post-punk, Psychedelia, Avant-garde, Primitive electronca, Post-psychedelic electronica, Experimentalism, Art rock, Alternative pop/rock/
Comment: this compilation reflects upon - let`s just say - industrial/urban tribalism. Lots of variable hooks and enthralling trash are chosen over here, however, veering out from the Fall-alike manifesting post-punk-ish shimmer and 80`s Sonic Youth-afforded bristled yet dream-filled guitar works to off-kilter shamanic oscillation/post-psychedelic tilts and somehow statically flowing guitar-induced experimentalism and stuttering primitivism. Here are represented the likes of GeR^^aN, Hiking, Turrks, GeRmAn ArMy, Night Control, and Healthcare, all those bands seem to related with one location - Oakland, California.
Limbo Deluxe - Rodeo (2011)
Jamendo
8.9
8.9
/Psychedelic rock, Ska, Surf pop, Brass pop, Alternative pop/rock, Latin pop/
Comment: Limbo Deluxe is a side-project by Juan Naveira, who has been residing in France. However, Naveira aka mrjuan is chiefly known thanks to his Juanitos project (since 1991) within he has satisfied his versatile ambitions mixing densely up surf pop, World music, Latin pop, brass pop, psychedelia, rockabilly with each other. In any cases, this 6-piece unit borders on the characteristics of Limbo Deluxe, drawing the line with more rocking, slightly ska-based sound to detach them. Catchy strums, dashing motifs, and dusty reed organs are excellently represented at La Luz Interior. The songs are performed in Spain and in English. All in all, I am waiting for those times when mrjunan`s music will be played in advertising because of being highly calisthenic.
Stefan Tretau – Yesterday You Said Tomorrow (2011)
Comment: this is a solid trip by an experienced producer from Germany who this time kicks off at a crossroad of house, dub and techno. The album`s quaintness is brought forth due to acoustic (string) lines which are interlaced with dreamy, versatile paces in crafty way. However, the coverprint is pleasant in its organic way, demonstrating apparently the tendencies of this 7-track issue. Thought not only for hours around the midnight.
Meanwhile Project.ltd - The Sober EP (2011)
/Noirscape, Musique concrète, Psychedelia, Covers, Experimentalism, Modern classical /
Comment: a peculiar (just trying to avoid describing it as "macabre") shit which contains musique concrète-hued mourning classical music and essentially obsessive noirscapes, by the way including a cover version of the Pink Floyd`s coolest song Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun, and a version of the Twin Peaks theme composed by Angelo Badalamenti. The EP is issued on WM Recordings, a great label from the Netherlands (Phil Reavis, R Stevie Moore, Chenard Walcker, Happy Elf, Spheriot, Roy Chicky Arad, Keshco and many other ones)
Jakim - To Bleep Or Not To Bleep (2011)
/Chiptune, Chipbreak, Chilltronica, Psychedelic electronica, 8-bit, Tracker music, Electronic pop/
Comment: Jakim (20-year-old Mateusz Szymànski from Poland) provides a 15-track set (turns to the end at the length of 29 minutes!) of lush, psychedelic electronica (catchy motifs and upbeat progressions). More profoundly, it is somewhat jazzy (fusion) and funk-tuned, yet, in the first place it is played up with the help of the sawtooth-shaped beats and buzzing noise of 8-bit/tracker music, chiptune. Indeed, it is chill and brain-eating at the same time.
