Golgotha Communications Ltd - Those Who Can Do, Those Who Can't, Dj (2014)




/Glitchtronica, Experimentalism, Sampledelic, Post-industrial, Minimal, Abstract, Noise, Psycho-acoustics, Avant-garde/

Comment: it is time to get back to Golgotha Communications Ltd., the Philadelphia, US-based combo whose 12-track issue on SP Net might spawn different feelings in your rotten soul. There are up some intriguing moments within the mix. For instance, the issue can be considered an example of industrial music which is predominantly coated with the black/white vamp, however, there are up samples which used to iterate quite funny to counterbalance the issue. More concretely, the slightly aggressive female vocal-based repetition at I Saw Him Putting Mascara On is permeated with “errors” at the volume level and the upper layers are effectively accentuated with gay rhythms (by the noun side, however, the LGBT people`s role has been important in the history of industrial music – of course, it does not mean that the sexual disposition is somehow superior in creative doings). In truth, you can exploit speech samples in a way to change the context and creating something differently new. Secondly, there are up some occupying production tricks as if conjuring up horrifying flashbacks in your mindset. It can be considered in conjunction with those “errors” being mentioned above. In fact, there is up one “chill out” track called A Huge Bra, Lying In The Middle Of The Dancefloor. It is calmed down in the sense as if you have profoundly cried for a while before and then being got rid of feels you just listening to it with an unimpressed gaze. In a nutshell, it is a configuration of vanguard shit and diverting roundabouts yet setting its place in a distance being very remote from imaginable centres of pop music.

Doomettes - Song About A Noun

PA - 14.05.04 Thru (2014)




/Neo-krautrock, Kosmische Musik, New Age, Psychedelic, Drone pop, Electronic, Mood music, Motorik, Ambient pop, Experimental rock/

Comment: regarding the stylistic perception quite much has changed in heads of the listeners since the times of 10 years or more ago. For instance, music which was considered as “noise” (for instance, My Bloody Valentine, or Sonic Youth) sounds quite poppy and common nowadays. Furthermore,  for “krautrock” which was to denote something very vanguard on its own, however, one branch of it coalesced into a more poppy and soothing approach (more concretely, by handling such bands from a new wave of the axis of Cologne-Dusseldorf as Tarwater, Kreidler, To Rococo Rot) and Stereolab, Lali Puna, and Ladytron from elsewhere. Of course, it didn`t mean these bands were somehow betrayers of the genre but it might be it was the only way to create something new being influenced by the zeitgeist. However, today the term “krautrock” and “noise” are so ambivalent because the seeds of the genres are spread out to everywhere and can be found from almost any track regarding indie music (taken up more or less consciously). The case of decadence, isn`t? Andrew Cauthen is an artist from Richmond, Virginia, USA who has been producing music for more than a decade and being loved by many listeners (just watch the downloading rates of his albums at Archive.org). His sonic palette is being quite broad, though, gravitated towards electronic music. The recent issue consists of 3 long-running compositions which is tagged as "ambient", "IDM", "chillwave", "indie pop" among others. Indeed, all these stylistic elements are represented on the issue though the main point focuses on minimalist motorik krautrock rhythms, sublime psychedelic droning and spaced-out phasing and progressions reminding of Kosmische Musik-tinged synthesised whiffs and blows and lingering chill out contortions. By its approach the music reminds of such old artists as Neu!, Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream. Although the album lacks guitars the issue rocks off in an indirect sense anyway. Get a glimpse upon it!

Manakal - Goodbye My Life (2014)




/Lobit, Lo-fi, DIY, Non-music, Leftfield, Psycho-acoustic/

Comment: it is said at the Popsakal Records` site this is the goodbye album by Manakal. Having had no knowledge of that I would think it is a soundtrack for to commit suicide. Yet, there is the hint to his life thus thinking in this direction is quite reasonable. More profoundly, what kind of suicide then with regard to a length of 3.33? Hanging by the neck? Cutting the veins? Jumping down from the board of a plane? Rolling down from the mountain? Inhale the CO in the garage while the engine of a car is switched on? In comparison with the sparse seconds the issue`s content is even more austere. It sounds like a reversed soundscape of the moaning viscera where peristalsis is severely dysfunctional and painful conjuring up dull and indecipherable sounds. Or is it the sound coming from an outer space of asshole-shaped? In a word, the result is same in any cases. I like these absurd albums issued on the politically highly incorrect Popsakal Records. At least these artists got used to be without hypocrisy in their expression if compared to the rest of this arse felt world. Let´s smack that ass-to-mouth misanthropic thing.
