Wellwellsound – From The Heart of The Console (2014)
/8-bit, Chiptune, Tracker music, Crossover,
DIY, Remixes, Reggae, Lo-fi, Chipbreak, Dub, Primitive music, Nintendocore/
Comment:
primitive patterns and expression language in art could be truly appealing.
Wellwellsound`s 6-piece issue which is made up of remixes is this sort of.
Actually I have no exact idea why this album chimes in this way as it used to
enact. Is it either the case of rough chiptune/8-bit rhythm progressions and
clumsy melody shifts or lo-fi/DIY tinged essence of reggae and dub music? By virtue
of spaced-out echo/delay effects the music is signally more slowed down than a
common videogame issue. However, depending on a particular composition there
are up different examples of how the tracks are balanced or more inclined toward
one or another. Actually there is represented third element either (on this
occasion it is deliberately separated from the chiptune part by my perception) –
it is a sort of digital debris which used to appear through minor effects and
in the embodiment of subdued noises here and there. Consequently it can be
admitted both these compartments do manifest free nature of the human being by
creating the music.

Hassan K. - Talab (2014)
/World fusion, Conceptual, Electronic,
Alternative, Jazz, Crossover, Surf music, Electro-metal/
Comment: Keyvane Alinaghi aka Hassan K is a French musician of Iranian/Persian heritage whose oeuvre is being influenced by glorious cultural traditions of his native-land and on the other side it involves many the Western/European music elements. In a word, it is a poignant melting pot for arousing your sensations and feels. This time his music is being inspired by Mantiq at-Tayr, a Sufist poem from middle-age Persia. More concretely, the album starts off with To The Raksh Mobile! drawing on moving metal riffs and electronic Middle Eastern melody progressions to be interwoven with one another. 110 Sédâ Kardan is an attention-getting surf attack with spiky brass sections and electronic pins atop. Chrini is a calmed down downbeat progression to provide you a somehow otherworldly feeling. Iran has unfortunately been demonized by the Western media with regard to an alleged nuclear program in recent years. Haji Firuz is something about Persian ethnic music varicoloured with free jazz induced threads and grooves. By listening to this bunch more carefully you can discern even more sublime vamps and effects. Technically the issue is set up with uncommon solutions to create sonorously something refreshing and superior. This set of 13 notches and additionally Alinaghi`s previous albums could be a good promotion to perceive the Persian people`s dimensional inner life.

Gotikplage - We Are Synonymous With Sin (2008)
/Experimental metal, Ambient, Screamo, Progressive
metal, Psychedelic/
Comment: Gotikplage was the first nom de plume
of Nic Ross, an artist from Whitehouse, Ohio, USA who headed a fine netlabel
called Modicum Of Silence which was an outlet for different artists from
Whitehouse-environing/Ohio area. Mostly there were up artists who played innovative
electronica, folk and rock fuelled music (Telemetrics, Chad Foltz, Kevin McCraney, Tree No Leaves, Abstressionist etc). Maybe the most well-known artist was
Brothertiger, who gained enough success at the pinnacle of chillwave/glo-fi/hypnagogic hype.
However, this 8-track issue was released when Nic Ross was only 16-year old. We Are Synonymous With Sin is the tight
blend of progressive metal, screamo and ambient music elements being
accentuated with boldly psychedelic organ sounds and concrete music whiffs at times.
Of course, those slowly progressing spaced-out soundscapes are spellbinding
ones. At times the listener can feel as if there is raucous screaming balanced with airy sonic pads. All these tendencies would forebode the forthcoming aesthetics of Our
Subatomic Earth, Ross` next one-man-project. Yet, Gotikplage`s oeuvre was remarkably
more concise because the compositions are particularly short-running, for
instance, reaching the mark of 2 minute only on one occasion at here. In a
nutshell, these 10 minutes and 40 seconds are thoroughly striking.
