James Johnston - From the Gutter to the Stars (Honor Among Thieves Remix)




/Remix, Dub-techno, Alternative dance/

Comment: these 483 seconds do constitute a first class remix based on meticulous techno rhythms and dub-indebted vibes full of dynamic energy and hypnotic delays. Indeed, Honor Among Thieves did properly rework Glaswegian producer James Johnston`s self-titled track from the forthcoming EP. 

Jim Lace/Alex Nova – Twists (2014)




/Darkgaze, Synth rock, Krautrock, Experimental rock, Leftfield, Improvised music, Psychedelic rock, Space pop, Motorik, Experimental rock, Acid rock/

Comment: this set of 7 tracks shows up an experimental approach regarding psychedelic pop and rock music. Although it is released on Pan y Rosas Discos, mainly improvised and jazz-centred music record label, this whole demonstrates how rock music should sound in its own frantic way while no abandoning its poppy touch. It starts off with darkly sounding shoegaze-y guitars and electronic undercurrents which will be jettisoned in favour of knee-deep psychedelic progressions, vocoder induced alien vocal sounds, motorik synth rock and at least guitar based improvisations. Ultimately it is an outstanding issue full of glamour and expressive strength.

Lars From Mars – Life On Mars (2009)




/Experimental electronica, Glitchtronica, Avant-electronica/

Comment: Lars From Mars` music merges a modern approach of electronica with an old, though, vanguard one. At times it sounds like a dada-alike one because of providing heavily manipulated results being thoroughly chopped and cut up or pitched up to a degree of showcasing a sense of humour an even absurd. The soundscape is relatively straightforward and easy to follow – these elements do not clash and splash against one another, however, the whole is quite intense nevertheless. It involves a lot of sonic elements – from the aforementioned cuts and glitched-out noises to compelling bleeps, epic interferences and mutant sonic bits. Obviously for Mars habitants this outlet would be a fine pop album.
