Hanetration - Torn Heat EP (2012)




9.4

/Drone, Modern classical, Noir, Experimentalism, Avant-industrial, Post-Pyschedelic electronica, Electro-acoustic, Avant-garde, Dystopbient, Hauntology, Psycho-acoustic/

Comment: one thing is obviously clear - it is quite problematic to give the clear-cut definition for the sophomore issue of London, UK-based combo Hanetration to be categorized for. In fact, Hanetration`s soundscape comprises different aspects veering away from contemporary classical and ghostly droning to somehow exhausting, even psychedelic electro-acoustic pulsations and industrial-tinged dystopism and noir spiced electronica. Emotionally it does have a huge impact on the listener because of providing anguished pictures. The good thing is the whole of 4 compositions does ring in a solid way setting your imagination free. Furthermore, I am not able to mention some souls reminding of it. It might be Penguin Cafe Orchestra would have chimed in this way produced by the members of Throbbing Gristle, and Stuart Pearce (Death In June) and Boyd Rice aka NON, for instance. Maybe not. However, I can imagine I like those machines behind this creative process.

Benjamin Briggs - Snake Man vs The World (2012)




8.9

/Chiptune, Psychedelic electronica, Conceptual, Chipbreak, Bitpop, 8-bit, Chill out/

Comment: Benjamin Briggs is a chiptune producer from Indiana, USA whose batch of 4 pieces is characterized by Snake Man, a game-relied theme. Briggs` oeuvre is a gritty pixelation of sawtooth-shaped rhythms, suggestive psychedelic turns, a naive concept and the upbeat motif. Additionally, Briggs likes to vary and reshuffle tones and phases therefore giving his music a distinctive feeling. In general, because of its predominantly emotive functioning and less its adventurous nature the set can be considered an instance of chill out music. It is fun rather than "serious" electronica.

Rohstein - Rohstein (2010)




9.3

/Speed garage, Jungle, Breakcore, Club dance, Glitchtronica, Experimental electronica, Breakbeat, Drill and bass/

Comment: this batch of 9 pieces is an intense mix of ominous broken beats, overdriving shifts, and slices of crashing glitchy electronica which are covered with gleaming luster and metallic glaze. It frequently swells ferociously like a tortured example of having gotten inspiration from reggae, ethnic music, house, garage, and hip-hop, Metalheadz-addled in an indirect and somewhat warped way.

Simon Waldham - How To Let Go (2012)




8.5

/Singer-songwriter, Alternative pop/rock, Indie folk, Alt-folk, Folk indie/

Comment: there are up three solid pieces by Simon Waldham, a singer-songwriter from Nottinghamshire, England. Lush guitar strums and sensitive singing manner are accentuated with dashing orchestrations above it. And that is obviously all.
