Wings Of An Angel – Eccentric Addictions (2017)



  • Drone 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Minimalism 
  • Electronic music 
  • Epic 
  • Modern classical 
  • Experimentalism 
  • Post-classical 
  • Dreamwave

Comment: I can only agree with the statement that Wings Of An Angel`s 80-minute long issue is something very eccentric and addictive. You shall have to take time to get into this endless, tremendous drone of being provided with slightly varied tones and lysergic penumbras which eventually progress into truly epic and fascinating. I cannot be without the aforementioned adjectives because other words may sound way too faint to express the impact of a subsequent album by the Israeli musician. It sounds as if a tremendous current getting by and a the same time seducing a listener with its soothing vibes and silky timbres. Oh yeah, it is a great success by a very prolific artist who knows how to maintain the quality regardless. I am going to add it to the list of the best albums in 2017.

The Gifted Children – Open Windows (2009)

  • Alternative pop 
  • Art pop 
  • Noise pop 
  • Chamber pop 
  • Epic 
  • Electronic 
  • Jangle pop 
  • Americana
  • Baroque pop

Comment: it seems the only shortage of this 7-track outing is related to its shortness. It chimes as if there were represented one track only though the track with different facets and magnetic fields. From lofty chamber pop glimpses and luminous Americana induced developments to catchy jangle pop instances to a more tumultuous noise pop explosion (Here Comes The Flood) and dreamy piano driven numbers to a sublime, restrained electronic instance (Niblick). But it is not an instance of indie by numbers. It is a dynamic drift between the different genres and because of that many the so-called indie groups do have much to learn from it. It might be by using the word "indie" for that it is a pejorative case. It is highly sympathetic of how the soundscape of these songs used to soar and reach fairly blissful points eventually (for instance, at A Forest). Top notch by any means by the Rochester, NY, US-based combo. Give your valuable time to listen to it.

Noise Machine – Disturbing Sensitive Ears (2013)



  • Noise 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Experimentalism 
  • Non-music 
  • Leftfield 
  • Psychoacoustic

Comment: undoubtedly the relations between music and noise is a topic on its own. Firstly, how it should be categorised, is it a part of music or a deviation from it? One of the first noiseniks were Italians and they created their soundscapes to protest against the war and atrocities which ravaged Europe despite the lofty ideas and profound thought being predominant in science and philosophy in the first two decades. Noise music as a composed art of powerful, devastating sounds was an incisive sign reflecting on decayed and collapsed ideas regarding humanity. The Brazilian Noise Machine as a project started off in the mid-90s to create overwhelming soundscapes providing no mercy and grace. This 4-track outing is a mind-blowing ravage based on brownish noises, "erroneous" frequencies being thrown over the four soundscapes. Indeed, a listener is the subject to partake from these "errors" as a musical component. At times one can suspect is it alright with his/her stereo system or headphones. Is it a terrible mess for you? I really hope you will not perceive it in that way because of not being that shit altogether. Although it is not easy ride at all one can figure out many intriguing sounds, hisses, effects and eventually a whole behind it. It plays tricks on your sacred mind. The outing is a part of the discography of DreamNoise imprint.
