Leksha – Mark EP (2006)




  • Glitch-hop
  • Experimental techno
  • Glitch-techno
  • Glitch-electro
  • Abstract
  • Avant-electro

Comment: Leksha`s 4-track issue is a nervous yet sublime issue on its own. First of all, it is a convulsive trudge through heavy glitched-out rhythms and minimally designed noise laden frequencies thereby making up an idiosyncratic experience eventually. At times buzzing synth induced drones used to get magnified and amplified in a spastic yet charming way (nmttm). The backbones of the pieces are not steady at all as if a substance represented over there having no restful, relaxing aspect on its own. By the way, by listening to the issue I recommend to watch the cover print of the issue which is a movable GIF file of creating psychedelic, dizzy feeling. . In a nutshell, the more I listen to it the more I think it is a classic one. Fascinating shit indeed.

Misdea – Acetilene (2013)




  • Post-rock
  • Ambient pop
  • Experimental rock
  • Electronic
  • Soundscape
  • Conceptual
  • Leftfield
  • Crossover

Comment: Acetilene is an intriguing journey across thought-awakening landscapes where one could perceive disparate tendencies within less pop oriented music. At times it chimes like ambient pop, at times like experimental/post-rock, at times like a picturesque or abstract sonic ornament for something. At times it rings like a polyphonic composition with different layers being showcased at the same time. At times the soundscape is saturated with noisy debris thereby making up enough contrast to unite different elements with one another. The purpose of it is to create a hyper-realist experience. This "something" is thought to be a dedication to the Italian mercury mine Abbadia San Salvatore. Despite its cutting-edge approach in technology of creating the sound the result is enchantingly dreamlike. Acetilene is produced by the Berlin residing artist Emiliano Baiocchi.

Jonathon Roberts & Scott Hawlay – Prayer (2004)




  • Avant-garde
  • Drone
  • Abstract
  • Noise
  • Conceptual
  • Remix
  • Post-classical 
  • Experimentalism

Comment: there is not much to know about this 3-track composition but it was the first issue in the discography of Luv Sound. One cannot find out even the release date of the album because it lacks this kind of information at the file/release information and at Discogs. Furthermore, I still do know nothing about Scott Hawlay and what he has produced so far. However, I guess the issue had been released sometime in 2004 while the imprint started to work. Jonathon Roberts is a contemporary composer of having obviously classical music background. The title track deserves its name where prayer-alike singing with extended chords and glistening points is accompanied by droning cello and cathedral organ-alike reflections eventually resulting in the epic peak. The next piece is Prayer: Mom and Pop (remix by the Eviscerator Reanimator) is a stoned deconstruction of the first one. It is filled with crackling noises and wobbling sonic waves to be the ambiance for a bleak sonic glimpse coming out of it. The last piece is the instrumental version of Prayer. In a word, the result is enchanting in its dark and white shadow play.

Akashic Crow's Nest - Torment of the Metals (2009)




  • Post-rock
  • Avant-garde
  • Minimalism
  • Drone
  • Electronic music
  • Experimentalism
  • Ambient

Comment: Akashic Crow`s Nest is one of the aliases by Chris P. McDill also known as Drone Wallah, Rolling Calf Sinfonette, Rowboat Magicians, Saluki Regicide, and Tree Helicopter. He is obviously one of the most prolific solo artists being around today. Most albums have been released under the likes of Webbed Hand Records, and Treetrunk Records. The composition consists of three compositions of a total time of 67 minutes. Two of them are very extended compositions though the nature of these tracks is quite minimal. More profoundly, it used to wobble in a restrained mode conveying feeble changes in structure and pace. At times it seems like the artist is searching for the resonance with the listener`s perception because it might be you are perceiving some sounds which might not exist at all. It is a sort of psychoacoustic phenomenon being deliberately created. Stylistically it could be considered an example of minimal music in general though it provides branches into electronic, ambient, drone and even post-rock music indirectly.
