Cybernetika – Solar Nexus (2014)
- Breakbeat
- Jungle
- Psybient
- Alternative dance
- Crossover
- Kosmische Musik
- Chill out
Comment: in fact, what we
could expect from an album which is entitled Solar Nexus? Indeed, it should filled with sci-fi sounds, to be at
least a little bit murky and brooding, full of spacey sounds and feeling of
alienation as if you have been a space traveller very far from the Earth for
years. If we consider another fact the recording platform comes out from
Ektoplasm that it should point out psychedelic trance and ambient blended
sounds. In reality, all these elements are represented on Cybernetika`s 9-track
release, though, it is probably the most stormy issue I have ever heard under
Ektoplasm. More profoundly, those glacial-alike reflections and imposing sonar
beams and trance-y rhythms and melodic layers are tightly mixed up with
breakbeat and jungle-near cadences and corroded robot voices. In a word,
Cybernetika`s recent sound emits nearly like an antidote for traditional New
Age music. Last but not least – the coverprint is eye-catching. Recommended.
Robel Synthesia – Midnight Polaroids (2012)
- Downtempo
- New Age
- Modern classical
- Ambient
- Alternative dance
- Organic electronica
- Mood music
Comment: Robel Synthesia
says on his Soundcloud site that he is a musician and sketcher loving all
things related to the arts. He used to approach music with the intent of
creating something visually alluring. More concretely, if to hint at the titles
of the album you could get proof for it – Autumn
Window, Painting Skies and Stars,
Light Echoes, Taxi Colours. Musically his 7-notch issue is a tight blend of
melancholic yet pushy piano chords, picturesque synth hovers, repetitive
samples and laidback rhythms and some barely audible concrete sound snippets.
Stylistically it is problematic to categorize it in a proper way. It might be
not wrong to say the album reflects upon contemporary New Age music tendencies,
though, the opening track Streetlamp
Waves is properly dance rhythms driven and Polaroids extends to ambient music heights. Of course, it is not
the predominant issue regarding the release and other albums either. It is
essential that it is a fairly stunning and convincing outcome. Artsy touch is
everywhere.
The Mules – s/t 7`` (2014)
- Avant-punk
- Experimental rock
- Art punk
- Post-punk
- Alternative rock
- Electro-punk
- Psychedelia
- Garage rock
- Blues
Comment: The Mules was a combo from Boston, Massachusetts, USA existing in the beginning/mid of the 00s.
Unfortunately they had no fortune to become famous, though, they had potential
for it. Maybe did not have, though, because of its uncompromising nature. Free
Music Archive issued a couple of tracks exposing the collective`s playful and
frenetic world. It is music containing elements from the traditions of No Wave
movement, experimental rock, blues, Garage rock, psychedelic music, and noise
pop. Mandatory for all those people who don`t like dull and exhaustive rock
music but love
