Nachtzug – Compression (2011)
/Electro pop, Alternative
dance, Robot pop, Downtempo/
Comment: this 7-track issue
is something truly special which even might need some listening times to become
apparent. Gritty analogue synth basses and rhythmic structures flicker and
dither beneath synthesizers-induced explorations of creating great harmonic and
melodic synapses at times (at Attic,
more apparently). Nachtzug does mean the nightly train in German but the music
laid down in front of our ears is also very suitable for listening in daytime
(the duo comes out of Berlin, indeed). By ideological standpoint the release
might chime like a modern update of Kraftwerk. By the way, Compression is only one part of the trilogy (the other parts are Tension, and Fatigue). Top classic notch.
AEdB - B1620-25i (2014)
/Experimentalism, Avant-electronica,
Leftfield, Improvised music/
Comment: the coverprint
of the album is intriguing – it consists of a sonographic exposure involving
shimmering dots as if the stars were represented in the human body. However,
this set of 7 pieces starts off with electronic progressions replete with
tectonic quivers as if the bogeyman had lost its way and entered into the music
device. Later on, lots of interesting sounds are ready to come to the surface –
epic synthesised plateaus (even slightly reminding of Kraftwerk), droning
harmonica whiffs, emulated marimba sounds and improvised electronic
explorations saturated with inner powerful impulses and bold sonic effects. By
watching the titles of this 7-track issue it constitutes two disparate
subtitles. Eventually it can be admitted the result is a top notch for those
who search for the integrated result between electronic music and improvised
noises. The outing is a part of the Plataforma Records, the thought-provoking
record label from South America.
Ssaliva – All Downhill From Here (2012)
/Ambient, Chillwave, Mood
music, Space music, New Age, Downtempo, Soundscape, Kosmische Musik/
Comment: the Belgian producer Ssaliva`s
13-track album involves blissful sketches at an average length of approximately
2 minutes. By genre it can be classified as ambient music with hints at
chillwave, Kosmische Musik, New Age, and downtempo music. More profoundly,
those otherworldly longing synthesised layers atop used to flicker and blossom
in different directions being at times accompanied by bold rhythms, at times
just bare repeated clicks and cuts, at times mettlesome synth-induced
explorations. Although these compositions are simple by their nature the
emotional content oozing from it is frequently thrilling. In a word, let`s
listen to it.
