Comment: one part of the rhythmic sort of music has been related to the depiction of speed and driving across the highway and staring at the dotted line. For instance, it was so by Kraftwerk, and Neu!. Argentinian Luis Marte's Routier is a successor of this glorious motorik rock/krautrock-esque tradition though doing it in a techno-based and IDM format (at Grenade, and Not Find Another Like one can hear very Kraftwerk-esque whistling bleeps wandering throughout the pieces). On the other side, it is hard to estimate do come there influences either directly or not. It might be these ones come through the neo-krautrock and IDM and clicks and cuts and glitch scene, i.e therefore indirectly (being presumably influenced by such artists as Seefeel, Jan Jelinek, Mark Van Hoen's projects, Autechre, Mouse On Mars, Kreidler, To Rococo Rot). More profoundly, the artist is obsessive at lying around beats and humming sounds and elegant noises thereby creating the impact of watching the panorama while driving into the sunset. Furthermore, these rhythms could freely create a soundtrack for road movies (Vanishing Point, for instance; just remember astounding Primal Scream's album of same title being influenced by a cult motion picture). All in all, it is a beautiful (techno) outing by analysing it from different points of a space. It is a bit of the discography of a Chilean imprint, Pueblo Nuevo.

Comment: I guess there is no problem to enjoy this 7-track issue from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA made up of vivid chants and hip-hop beats and piano taps, floating soul flickers and eventually all of that resulting in proper pop songs. It provides highly enjoyable moments when the aforementioned elements merge seamlessly together. As we know very well artists have a little to provide with regard to something truly new and innovative for most time but it is always enjoyable to get a part from a well produced issue and this is one of such kind. At times nowadays soul and hip-hop performers forget themselves into technical labyrinths and thereof forgoing emotional and affectionate touch but over there all is balanced all right. Switch it on and get a part of it. The issue is a part of Urban Home Companion.

Comment: Samuel Andrè aka Ieva's 10-track issue is a beast. It is like a dragon with many heads which are to shake and burst flames from their unfathomable throttles. It starts off in a ghastly droning way by using poignant concrete music samples, microscopic noises, vocal samples of unknown origin and hissing electro-acoustic shards to design something truly stunning and memorable. On the other side, it is a sort of ambient music and clearly chatting up with anonymity. It might remind you the first three albums by Tim Hecker. Later on, the (dis)course of Ieva's music turns into something surprising because it will be the sort of post-rock though a weird and staggering one. More profoundly, it chimes like being played by hippies from the 22nd century full of magic, elemental touch and power of nature. Being obviously more educated and sophisticated than nowadays rabid feminist and neo-Marxist crap imbued with useless exaggerations, warped political correctness and artificial restrictions. It is the philosophy of escapism being something natural and organic and fairly appealing. It can be considered a sort of rock music though with some reservations because other stylistic elements are there around ready to intervene. Let's listen to Implants, it is a spacey jangle pop with glitches and mystical singing of unknown language. It showcases a perfect balance between experimental and affectionate approach. Musically it slightly reminds me of Paavoharju's Laulu Laakson Kukista (2008, Fonal). Later on, it turns towards the emotionally more buried and hushed approach the album started with. In a nutshell, the result is an excellent issue not only in the world of post-rock and ambient world but in overall. The issue is a part of the discography of a finest one, Test Tube.
