[Teaser of the day] Medo's Little Trap - Per Uomini In Pensione
CementO - No Man’s Land (2014)
/Techno, Acid techno, Free tekno, Rave
music, Club music/
Comment: CementO`s 4-track issue is based on
rave music modifications though providing a more organic, slightly darker
approach. On the other side, the listener can discern some hypnotic, even
somewhat buried upheavals coming out of the tradition of Detroit techno and
electro scene. Moreover, I assume the tension between some cheesy sonic bits and
more glowering and gloomy rhythmic structures used to create the welcoming
output. In a word, it is a worthy listening.
Martin Rach - Of Tobakoff (with Lynn Wails) (2015)
/Spoken word, Sound art, Storytelling,
Minimalism, Post-industrial, Avant-garde, Non-music/
Comment: these 32 minutes are up to tell a story about Tobakoff, the man with some mystical abilities besides his human-alike traits and self-indulgent appearances. At times it seems to me that Tobakoff is the kind of hero/half deity like someone (Heracles) in the mythology of the ancient Greece. Indeed, at least it seems to me in this way because the main hero is equipped with tremendous proficiency and disparate craftsmanship. The track is accompanied by an endlessly repeated abstract, post-industrial loop which has been managed in a way to change the shape minimally throughout the course. Very interesting.

Crashing Airplane - Final Approach EP (2010)
/Industrial techno, Avant-techno,
Experimental techno/
Comment: I
guess to listen to this issue might be hurting to anyone who has lost their
relatives and fellowmen in plane crashes. Of course, by doing it without
checking out the titles it would be absolutely different case (except the
accelerating sounds in the first half of Birds
vs Jetengines). Predominantly it is filled with hypnotic techno frequencies
though accented with ominous whiffs and alien noises by the Austrian project
Crashing Airplane. Given that it is puzzling to say what sonic elements used to
be the most essential ones? However, it is not a case in turn. The final track Reaching Planet Earth in Redshift 3-3 is
a little bit different case because of relying more on a brooding synth layer
rather than on rhythmic progressions. The important thing is the issue is
convincing due to slowly developing minutiae and solid sonic pads. The issue is a part of the discogrpahy of a Toulose, France-based record label, Kosmo.

Lessons In Time - Lady Wisdom At The Gate (Proverbs) (2014)
/New Weird Australia, Dream folk, Noir folk, Anti-folk,
Freak folk, Weird folk, Indie folk, Electronic, Psych-folk, Experimental folk, Folk
indie, Avant-folk/
Comment: I
can`t stand for those persons` opinion who hyped Animal Collective throughout
the 00s but nowadays speaking silly things by accusing the Avey Tare &
Panda Bear led combo by introducing naïve and simplistic elements into the pop
music. All what has been created by the group throughout the 00s was innovative
and spellbinding. Another essential element related to them (basically with
them and Devendra Banhart) was to introduce the movement of the so-called New
Weird America which had a huge influence on other countries folk musicians either.
Eventually we did have a chance to see how much potential could have folk music
if to cross it with other genres. Australia is one of those countries wherefrom
have come off a loads of groups with tremendous aesthetical ability. For
instance, I recommend listen to the compilations of New Weird Australia at
Bandcamp to comprehend the phenomenon. The Sydney-based collective Lessons In
Time is being active since the second half of 00s and having issued four albums
so far (at least more issues I was not personally able to figure out). The
combo`s 6-track issue is a relatively short-running one though involving a
multitude of twists and undercurrents to undermine a trivial folk music body.
From sublime dreamy female vocal led meditations to more noir drenched vocal
timbres and guitar experiments to voice machine/vocoder drenched vocal
experiments to distorted guitar hook based elevations into noise rock
embodiment to compositions let to evolve within open space/nearby the campfire
somewhere. All of that described recently it is not a simplistic show-off but
an organic shift from one element to another.
