Comment: first of all, I have had a successful day behind. After a day's hard work I visited and bought approximately 10 tapes for 30 Euros by Trash who is curating his own amazing Trash Can Dance label. By the way, I got my personal project's four tapes of the latest issue additionally (Autharktos' Warped Irrpulses). And now I am listening to the Italian one-man-project Safir Nòu's 7-track masterpiece on the amazing La bèl imprint, which used to run in the vein of chamber pop-based easiness and high melodic affinity (it might remind you of Penguin Cafe Orchestra at Blue Dance and other tracks as well), and one of the exceptions do happen at Puppets' Waltz filled in with joyful gypsy melodies and positive sensibility. At New Lunacy cinematic post-rock progressions will take over the course for a 7-minute. It will be ending with a hymnal orchestration which could be considered one of the top moments within the album. In overall, it is fairly enjoyable how these instrumental passages used to elegantly roll over your mind again and again. In a word, the result will appear in the list of the best albums of Recent Music Heroes in 2016. If you like such artists as Bark Cat Bark, Beirut, Tortoise, Esmerine, A Silver Mount Zion, Tindersticks, Yann Tiersen then this issue is also your cup of tea. Get it! Support it!

Mmöner – Forest Eruption (2016)

Bandcamp

• Primitive electronica 
• Electronic music 
• Improvised music 
• Alternative
• Leftfield 
• Fantasy music 
• Mood music

Comment: this handful of tracks is an intriguing one due to those artistically resonating elements within a whole. It might sound slightly primitively, however, if you have listened to naive fantasy music soundtracks then your opinion might be contrariwise. Indeed, one can hear one naive chord followed by another in a primitive way, one can hear one naive turn followed by another. On the other side, the issue can be depicted as a soundtrack for showcasing one weird electronic keyboard to be played with gleaming glisters and acidic glares and while sustaining its magical milieu throughout the course. The title Forest Eruption seems to be a little bit disorienting because the wooden mass in front of your ear will not disappear. Rather it will thicken stepwise. I like the tracks of containing the word “moss” (for instance, David Bowie`s Moss Garden which is a track with obvious influences of an early Kraftwerk). Indeed, Moss Hymn is the favourite of mine within it though the rest of it is very similar to it. In a nutshell, the result is fairly amusing and pleasantly entertaining. I also recommend listen to it while you will be enjoying the Christmas. Solid work by the artist who describes himself/herself as one of these creatures… .

Erreome – Mis Ciclos (2011)

Rawmatroid

• Deep house 
• Remixes 
• Electronic pop 
• Chilltronica
• Dubtronica 
• Alternative dance 
• Club dance 
• Funk house 
• Electro-house

Comment: this is the first entry into the discography of Rawmatroid and a successful one. Erreome is an artist from Spain and his 5-track one is classy. It (City Start) starts off with solid deep house vibrations full of nostalgic sensations, hovering magic and soulful sensibility. At Help the artist will change the pace by showcasing more funky seeds though still flowing in deep house vein. Catedral is the last of Erreome's original tracks before remixes start to step in. In truth, it is a different case in comparison to the two first ones because of providing an electro-house with tinny synthesised chords and the poppy gear. Ales Pardo's version of Help is quite similar and slightly inferior to the original one and thereby adding not much charm to the whole. It is more funky than the original track. Kebiin's re-interpretation of Catedral is a good bit because of hooking up dub and chilly electronica-tinged vibes to the mix. All in all, the result is fabulous and overtly a top notch (especially the original compositions).
