Comment: the mystical creature named Mmöner is back with his/her sophomore outing called Training Saga. The artist describes it as old stuff about training skills. Because of that it can be admitted ideologically he/she has stepped out of the forest theme (Forest Eruption, 2016) to put the finger into a sport/training theme. Instead of glorifying and mystifying the forest as our very genuine home the new subject is remarkably more human-related and mundane, even dealing with obvious banalities (though I guess it is imbued with a tongue-in-cheek attitude). Yet musically the difference does not make sense because sonically the outings are tightly correlated. Continually you can visualise and thereby think off a kernel of sounds getting inspiration from the fantasy music soundtracks which in turn are mingled with primitive electronic developments and childish rhythmic patterns which eventually will result in the somehow hyper realistic flow of peaky, exalting, saturated chords. As if the set of three tracks being overloaded with a torrent of serotonin and being warped by the fairy-tales surfacing deep from your subconsciousness you had heard that in your childhood. Even if it's formal appearance is to be moody it's deeper intention is to enter into into the listener's brain and provide an immensely complex experience. Fir sure, it is an uncanny listening session at the recent times.

Comment: if I can remember for the right way once there existed such an imprint as Milano, Italy-based Paragrafo Records which was reclaimed as having focus on weird, electronic and experimental music. One of the artists coming out from there was Berlin, Germany-based Mogadiscio Ensemble. Unfortunately almost all the traces behind the imprint are gone (just a couple of issues are uploaded at Bandcamp) though fortunately the combo is up there at Bandcamp to provide an immense set of 38 tracks. The amount of the compositions is big enough to write a solid column about it. First of all, it is huge enough to get enough material to feed your ears and brain. More profoundly, the average track within it is quite short of being approximately 2-3 minute long and containing a shitloads of diverse ideas. From old school industrial synthesised layers and rough yet vivid rhythms, deliberately clogged-up progressions of the lo-fi and DIY culture, appealing outsider house numbers, off-kilter, outsider jazz induced developments. It may resemble a bit an early Cabaret Voltaire which had provided different impulses and ideas on industrial and post-punk to further progress into a wider audience appealed compartment, more profoundly to trod seminally on dance music, post-disco, proto-house music. At times it chimes as if being channelized through some shitty filters and cables. Yet the result, however, is very elegant. On the other side, the title does have a clear hint at Aphex Twin`s Selected Ambient Works 85-92 which similarly did provide an episodic coincidence with the ambient style. In fact, there is no classical ambient structures within that whole, there are up only some fragments of reminding of the style. However, there may be behind a methodology of deconstructing the style. Anyhow the result is a top predator.
