Pollux - My Beautiful Melancholia (2012)




9.5

/Ambient, IDM, Ambient techno, Experimental electronica, Breakbeat, Kosmische Musik/


Comment: Arnaud Barbe aka Pogohm aka Pollux can be described as a very prolific artist from France who in addition to have issued a batch of countless releases over the last years heads up a label, called Sirona-Records in which list there are represented more than 500 albums at the moment (despite of being one of the most qualitative blueprints worldwide). However, his 4-piece brand new one which is spreaded out over 14 minutes meets at the crossroads of boisterous ambient, an array of reshuffled broken beats, and somehow transcendental feeling. Inspite of involving a loads of elements it sounds essentially holistic. At times it chimes like the flight of a mysterious spaceshuttle having been on the road more than the average time length of a human generation thus the memories about this one are remarkably blurred, though, some people still believe there might be up such kind of object. In a word, it is a fabulous issue alleviating pain and providing hope for the next days.

Achim Mohne -Philip Jeck - Radio Touch 77 (2012)




9.4

/Abstract, Glitch ambient, Sound collage, Soundscapes, Non-music, Experimental electronica, Avant-electronica, Conceptual, Minimalism, Sound-art/


Comment: there is represented one temporally vast piece which will be switched off at 1.03.16. The composition contains three parts - the first half is composed by Achim Mohne, the second part is the artists` common part, though, lasting some minutes only, and the last section is headed by Philip Jeck. In particular, the artists show their inclination toward minimal and microtonal music, manipulating with barely audible digital bits and crackles which step by step will change its wave shapes and sonic phases ultimately leading up to hiss-infiltrated vintage orchestration-based samples, throbbing flickers and hazy yet ethereal electronic soundscapes. By the conceptual side the publication pays tribute to the format of vinyl disk which is still as popular as in the past days.

Kitty Pryde - Haha, I’m Sorry EP (2012)



9.2

/Hip-hop, Urban music, Rap/

Comment: this handful of notches spreaded out over 13 minutes is published by Kitty Pryde who hails from Orlando, Florida whose music is captivating due to her dreamy chanting, joyous chortling which are backdropped with uplifting motives-gears and lush, panoramic orchestrations. The EP is produced by Beautiful Lou, Sela, and Grant and featuring such MCs as Dankte, and Riff Raff (Orion`s Belt, the favourite track of mine is collaborated with him). Very good by any means.
