/Organic electronica, Epic, Ambient, Ambient noise, Post-rock, Crossover, Experimental electronica, Musique concrète/

Comment: similarly to other releases on basic_sounds this issue by Carl Ritger contains just one track/composition, though, spreaded out over 35 minutes. It is highly organic involving the elements of electronica, ambient, microscopic noise, and experimental/post-rock, however, all of these stylistic elements are seamlessly interlaced with each other. Furthermore, all these aspects in turn are infiltrated with the seeds of found sounds/field recording. It brings forth a bunch of pleasant consequences - it is soothing, it is epic and thus even exulting. At times it seems to be more the burning of a campfire than the sequences of deliberately treated chords. By kindred souls, however, it can be compared to the likes of slept., Labradford, Tudo de Volta, Tim Hecker, Ecovillage, Clark Nova Portable, Beth Kleist, Machinefabriek, Loscil, Pan American and many other ones. What a stupendous flow! In a word, it is an instance of a God`s trace.

9.1

/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)

Comfort Stand
Lastfm

8.8

/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)

Mediafire

9.0

/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.
